What’s interesting about the use of the “cottage” terminology is it, to me, references “cottage industry” where people work independently to bring their “goods” to market. I suspect that for many people, who are comfortable with their niche in a larger organization, they are likely to feel alienated in a primarily telecommuting environment. However, I believe the author misses a key opportunity.
If employees acclimate themselves to working from home, it seems likely to me that those that are successful at it will expand their productivity to include other processes, new initiatives and new methods.
Perhaps the greatest potential outcome is that these individuals begin to offer their services to other individuals in addition to their employer, or completely evolve and specialize their niche service to offer it entirely as their own product, branded or unbranded. This can then lead to them needing additional persons to meet demand, and their “electronic cottage” becomes a “electronic cottage industry”.

Bottom line though is that you already know that useful and pleasing presentation makes 100% of the difference between whether a website visitors stays or goes, whether they call or click, or whether they back out.
Thats true. But good stats to back that up would go a long way in selling design services 🙂 This is the best site I have seen so far. Thanks

After a slow beginning of 2010, 3PRIME has signed up 4 new web design clients in the past 10 business days. It’s not the statistics that did it, business owners know what they need. Once they find a reliable, clear-spoken advocate for their business that ALSO helps them transform their vision into a website, they’ll move on it.
business owner, where would you look to find a web design company to build a website for your business.
– Mike S. 26 / M / New York, NY
Our company, 3PRIME, LLC in North Haven CT, makes websites. One of our particular skills is fitting keyword goals, business goals and budget together to make a perfect fit for our clients.
Consider this. You are looking for a business website. You could look at:
1) Search engines, find a local company that you can meet with, this helps ensure that your needs and their abilities are clearly communicated.
2) Websites you like and contact the company that built it, this can eliminate time and effort in getting a custom website design.
3) Freelancers, can carry a lot of unknowns, but may be more affordable.
Those are all places to look. However, what you may or may not find is someone to make sure you are buying just what you need.
I also recommend that you place a priority on being able to develop a great relationship because there’s no reason your website should sit idle once complete. Make your new website part of your business development plan!
Does anyone know… how to get freelance web design projects?
– Arun G. M / Trivandrum, India
I see you’re in India, I’d guess you’re looking to provide the service outside of India. Your best bet is going to be to try to do one of 2 things:
1) Create accounts and build a reputation on the freelancer type websites.
2) Target an area where you have some knowledge and market yourself to that area. This could mean an industry, like medical, travel, e-commerce, or it might be an location you have some experience with. The choice should be based on your personal experience since to get projects you’ll need to introduce yourself and convince your potential customers why they should hire you.
Besides Dreamweaver, what would you say are the most marketable skills for a web designer in today’s market?
– Joshua G. 28 / M / San Diego, CA
Dreamweaver isn’t a skill, creating manageable code to present web pages is a skill. Similarly, photoshop and illustrator aren’t skills, creating modern relevant web and vector designs are skills.
As a web design company, 3PRIME considers what we do to be the next stage in professional web design. Besides designing a website that fits the customers needs and budget, you should be creating websites that will work well in search engines and provide the critical opportunity for visitors to convert into contacts.
I’d say the 2 most marketable areas a web designer should focus on, besides translating client conversations into a satisfactory web design, are search engine optimization principles and visitor conversion and traffic analysis.
Do you have a business? Do you have a website? If you do, great, if not – you might want to think about it. The internet is the wave of the future and all. But those of you out there with a business website, are you sure you’re getting the most out of it? In the business world everyone wants more and the secret to online businesses is knowing how to get the most out of the internet.
That’s where 3PRIME’s web consulting service comes in. It’s true that there are great databases of information out there (just ask Google) but the great thing about consulting is that you can find dedicated, skilled technicians who already know all there is to know about creating a successful website. 3PRIME won’t keep all of this knowledge to themselves however. The entire point of consulting, like with financial advice, is providing tools to improve our client’s business. This process works best if our clients take ownership of the work done. We feel that consulting fails completely if one party becomes dependent on the other. We’re not saying you’ll be responsible for all of the work however. For sites with specific needs we’re able to determine a fixed price for hourly SEO services. We have experienced in-house content writers, coders, graphic designers and internet marketers at your disposal.
For more information you can visit our consulting service page.
And check out this site to educate yourself about what to expect before you seek web consulting.
Before you even start writing you have to decide what you want your content to do. Do you want it to convert page views into purchases? Or are you just trying to garner a following and repeat visitors? After you decide which one of these goals you’re after (if not both) then you have to figure out how to do this in a way that makes the search engines happy. And trust me, you want them to be happy.
With 3PRIME’s help you can put a smile on all of their faces. We’re able to edit existing content on your site to get the most out of the search engines. And we’re also able to create carefully crafted content that will mesh with your site perfectly.

I have been using GotWebHost.com extensively for business and personal projects where I need groups of hosting products and I have come across this occasionally after installing WordPress using their automatied installatron application.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/bu8cjdk/domains/[Your-Domain]/public_html/wp-config.php on line 46
The problem is caused by the automated generation of the secure_auth _keys in WordPress’s config.php file. The algorithm allows for singe-quotes to be a part of the string unatrually breaking the process.
The fix is to edit the config.php file, identify where, on the indicated line, the random character string got stopped with a single quote and clear it up so that it is a natural PHP expression.
If you need any help, give a call, it takes 2 minutes and we won’t charge you for this brief tech support consultation!
