Hello folks,
I'm helping a small company use social media to improve its corporate image. Firstly, I plan to revamp its website, which I think is too cluttered and could benefit from being made cleaner& simpler in design. The company has a pioneering product, &I want the website to focus on that. Trouble is, I'm quite new to the web development field. Would anyone who knows more mind glancing at the current website, and giving me your first impressions re, design?
Thanks! :) www.krete.co.uk

Once you have a clear future your site will have a clear design and implementation path.

David Rusenko, one of the founders of Weebly.com and fellow Penn State College of IST Alum of ours just spoke at one of my IST classes about his start-up and working for a start-up today.
Pretty much summed it up as: It is tough to feel like your making a difference as a corporate drone but when your working for a start-up just about everything you do will most likely impact the start-up.

College Seniors: Discouraged in your search? A piece of advice I got is to remember not to take it personally - IF the company talked to you, they maybe had 20 minutes, an hour of time with you? They know precious little about you, much less KNOW YOU. Don't get down on yourself, it always works out in the end (with persistence!)

Hello friends, just discovered this network. I've been doing software development for about seven years now (lots of web, and some desktop). I do freelance work on top of my day job, but I'm always looking for good designers to work with. I can code like a ninja but my crayola skills are lacking. I am very big into web standards, css-based layouts, and DHTML (love jQuery). If there are any ponytails out there who need a propellerhead, I'd love to chat.
Pamela Selle:
If you're looking for designers to work with, might I put myself forward?
