Your funny Brandon!
Well,
im in the web business since 2001. At that time, I was owner/partner of a web design company. Something very "regional". Our clients were institutional, small business, industries, everything. We were doing websites for 500$ to around 3-4k$. The biggest site we had was 5000$... but we had to work an overall total of 600 hours! lol A sure thing, that was good to learn!
After 3 years I proposed the guys to just change what we were doing. We were 5 pros, we could have develop websites for us, not for others. They said no.
Fine! I left them in 2004 and been busy since then mainly with 2-3 major clients and 1 big site: reggaetonline.net. It is more a business than a website today with 1 full time employee and dozens of collaborators.
Personally: from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec with 2 kids (5 & 7 y/o), so this summer is veryyyyyy busy!!
see ya
