Design company..

[Dentafrice,]

I was thinking about starting a design/coding company.. that I believe some of us on here could take far.

We could have a team of coders and a team of designers to work together to complete clients projects, coding and designing.

Would be a pretty cool thing to do.

Any ideas?

[Puma]

Yeh it would be a good ideas since your really good at coding.. i think you should go for it.. would it be free or you would have to pay for a script?

[adamFTW]

For the level of Calebs coding, paid.

[Dentafrice,]

It would be like a design company that you basically "order" a site from configured with its own CMS with features requested etc, thats why I need a design team (I can't design). All projects the design team participated in would receive payment.

[iTechnical]

I'd lend a hand ^_^

I can design, and i'm learning to code. ^_^

[Ajax.]

I'd design if photoshop actually worked :D

[iHubz]

I did start my own one of these. You really have to market them well to make them work.

I would be up for helping you with this as a designer. I use Photoshop CS3 and Fireworks MX 2004. Also have InDesign CS3 so I can do magazines, publications etc - I do have experience of doing this.

You have me on MSN, so we will speak when I get home (if you are there :P)

[GoldenMerc]

I can design quite well,Ive helped site's like Sincordia ect...

[iHubz]

I think if we got a good team together we could really make this work. We would need a really good marketing director, because this is a very competitive and huge market.

Hmmm, Yes put any past experiances behind >_<

[craigg.]

Would staff get a fixed fee or a percent of the sale? Also, how much are you charging.
I may be interested, I need some spare cash.

PM if you would like more details - or if you would like a copy of my CV.

[mousey]

=D i can do some flash headers or navigations if you lot did!

[Johno]

Hey,

I own a domain (titleDesigns.co.uk) and if you guys wanted, I could get it back up for us to use if you want.

Of course, I have alot of experience in business and media, I have featured in the national press and on national radio. I am in the middle of raising £85,000 for my school, so I am good with finance.

So yeah, If you guys wanted we could use the domain :)

.:; Johno

[iHubz]

I have the domain splurstudios.com for sale if interested.

I also have experience within design and media, and I am currently working on a project as designer called 'Fusion' which is a magazine for young people where I live. This is a big project and is being presented at the National Creative Conferance in Birmingham at the end of the month.

I would also like to know about the payment of templates I make,

Go and hit yourself over the head repeatedly.

Caleb - Speak on MSN. ;)

[iHubz]

Thats...nice?

Yeah he always seems to be away - gawd knows what he does :S

Yes it is, because splurstudios has been ******* to the point of death on this forum - and you try selling it?!

Caleb is American. (or Canadian).

[iHubz]

Off Topic - Nothing really wrong with Splur, just needs marketing - I want to sell it to get it out of the way to focus on new projects such as this. I am trying to move away from owning sites.

On Topic - That would explain alot :)

LMAO! x'D

I think you should have say 3 coders and 3 designs.People can order templates/logo's/banner and scripts.If someone request's a coder website, the whole time works together and splits the money depending on how you helped.

Ive always wanted to do this but i didnt have time, if you set it up ide love to help!

Thanks, kane.

I don't think most of the people on this Forum are skilled enough to work for/run a web design/development 'company'. Sorry to be mean.

[abnormal]

Simon does kind of have a point...

[360]

I can design but I can't code >_<

I can't design worth a flip.

Back to the point.

If anyone wishes to be a designer or coder, please send an E-Mail to: [email protected], with the following template:

Name:
E-Mail:
CV (If you have one):
Experience:
Examples:
Other information:

That will help me keep it up, if you do not have any examples.. I am sorry but you don't stand a chance.

Also, the payment.
It would depend on how many designers worked on the project, also it would depend on how much work was put into the project. Example:

Designer A - 10% of the work
Designer B - 90% of the work

Designer A is not going to get near as much as designer B. We would have to decide as a team what the percentage would be.

[RichardKnox]

When you hear what Sygon's been up to (ask Liberation) you won't think that.

[Dentafrice,]

I heard Sygon has been working with a big group, he asks me from time to time to code for him, always too busy :P

[iHubz]

Experienced discussed, examples sent - Look forward to seeing what happens :)

[Dentafrice,]

We thought about doing the payment this way:

Say:
Designer X designed the layout. - 45%
Coder B coded the layout. - 45%

Each designer gets 45% of the pay, with 10% going to the company. That 10% of each project would pay for server costs, expenses, and to different departments/me.

Emailing now -_-

Like i got a chance.

[redtom]

I'll be happy to help as a designer & low level coder, although it would have to fit with my life + I would only design somthing if I could, EG I wouldn't accept a habbo theme design mainly because mine suck.

What I mean is as it's not a full time job I'm not going to take on every job the company gets, and I'm not going to spend my friday night trying to finish something for saturday morning, I'll only take on what I want when I want sort of thing, so it's completely upto you if you want to add me to the team, you could always have me as a "sleeping designer", on top of your main designers.

Your deal about how much everyone gets paid :]

[Dentafrice,]

Oh thats what I thought, :]

[iHubz]

I don't think that would work or be fair. People that do the work should get the money, and say there was 5 coders and 5 designers, each person wouldn't get alot really..

I like the idea of 45% for designer, 45% for coder, 10% towards company for upkeeping.

I agree with that, itinerary:

- Get name
- Get designers
- Design / Code site
- Project System**
- Begin marketing plan stage 1.

** Project System:
The project system would be used by the designers, coders, clients, and administrative team to:
Assign projects/tasks to designers/coders.
Allow the client to see progress on their project
Show administration which designers/coders are doing the most work (task wise).
Integrated with PayPal IPN for admin's to issue Payments to staff.

After speaking to Denta, I have agreed to take the role as a lead designer. I am also liking the name of 'Open Minds' whoever submitted that - represents creativitity!

I look forward to being part of this business and developing it into a leading website within the design and development industry.

Signing off,

Darren

[Dentafrice,]

Now before you say, Darren can't do this.. and bring up the past again, this company is not about that.

You have to forget the past sometimes.. and I think Darren has lived up to that past quite a few times, I understand alot of his sites have been "failures" and things, but it seems this one may go quite far.

I look forward to working with him, he a great guy.. and has some great ideas.. just no one will give him a chance. I will, hopefully you will too.. and forget about the past.

It's not all about design to get into great sucess. You'd be brilliant with your PHP knowledge etc.

I sure to god, for the companys sake, hope you don't become a 'lead designer' after seeing your terrible recent designs, and your pathetic "I know it all because I have owned an MMOCC" (which failed) attitude towards business situations.

The PHP/Script design part of the company will be a major part too, we just need to figure out how that will integrate into the design aspect of it too.

Caleb, I don't really know/care about his past. I just know his design skills aren't good enough for a "lead designer" job.

[Dentafrice,]

I guess we will see :] I'm going to give him a chance as a designer.. maybe not lead designer.

Its iHubz can get in im sure i can.

My designs are not 'rubbish'. I have shown Caleb a leading magazine for the area I live in which is taking the country by storm. I have also shown him work that I am not able to publish online as they were made for the use of invitations for a launch party.

Give me a chance guys - I may not be the best at web design, however I can do alot more such as;

• Web design
• Branding
• Logo design
• Corporate Stationery
• Advertisements
• Ecommerce sites
• Magazines
• Product Catalogues
• Event publications
• PR and sales copy
• Books/Guides/Brochures/Booklets
• Special publications
• Marketing products
• Fliers/Leaflets/posters
• Downloadable ‘pdfs’ for Web use

I agree at that, he may not be the best at web design, but he can do alot of those.. and I am willing to give him a chance as a designer, not 'lead designer'.

I've tried starting a fresh with Darren, and I'm not bringing up the past here. But you shouldn't implicate the company with heads & leaders.

2 Directors you should have.
You as the lead coder - director
Another (whom you trust deeply) lead designer - director
complicating the staff & team with leaders, will give them advantages
and chance to discredit us other designers.


• Web design

Web design includes coding Darren, which i've seen you ask others to do.
But i'm just saying dont introduce leaders etc as it will complicate and sure as hell cause arguements & situations
which usually lead to firing/quitting

[Invent]

not 'lead designer'.

Darren you say dont bring back the past yet you always do with your stupid magazine which you helped to make. If its taken the country by storm how come no one I know has heard of it? I wont bring up the past if you dont.

[iHubz]

I am still working as a designer for the 'Fusion' magazine. I see it as a positive from the past and present :)

By 'country' I mean professionals, creative directors, creative partnerships etc.

I could understand you may want to leave the bad behind, but my advise is don't leave it behind too much, becouse it's only from failures that you can learn what went wrong and what to improve next time.

Keep building your sand castle,
If it falls, try it again.

[Dentafrice,]

I agree, keep building your sand castle.. when it falls.. it leaves a big pile of sand.. you put more sand on top and build again.

You are building a bigger foundation every time it falls, unless you give up.. then you just have a big pile of sand..

Lmao, that's genius. All started out with another one of my comparisons. :eusa_danc

[Dentafrice,]

Yep, but let me say this again but more.... "different".

You get a bucket of sand, and you make your castle.. it falls down and you are left with a pile of sand. You flatten it out and you get more sand, and put on top of it, it falls again.

Each time you repeat this, the foundation gets higher and higher, until finally your sand castle is high enough to survive the tide.

Sorta..
