What a month!
It's been a week since I've posted and I must apologize. (Thank you for the kind email reminders (grin)) I was honored to attend my friends wedding in the Smoky Mountains last week and I also got to help with the recent Rock for the Red concert in Fountain Square Park in downtown Bowling Green. I tossed up a quick and simple website for them and it proved popular. (http://www.RockfortherRed.com) Even the Daily News linked to the website which I found very flattering. Thanks guys.
I have been extremely busy with business as well. Having recently published two websites as well as continued first class customer service of my existing clients, I have been swamped. Things are getting better (?) in that I have two major projects (Three if you count my wife's travel agency website too), that are on the front burner this month.
One is a politicians website which I will announce later, the other is a large international organization for Christian church women. According to their membership records, there are 25 million of them world wide. I'm very excited about both projects and am hopeful that this will send SOKY.NET into the next phase of her existence. I'm already considering hiring a person or two for editorial, graphics and programming. Times are great... difficult... but great.
Oh, my wife's website? It would appear the current layout and design is not "getting it" so I'll have to burn a little midnight oil to get that one redesigned and implement some of the promised features. It's a labor of love... but it's still a labor.
I have begun the process of moving from a proprietorship to a more formal existence for SOKY.NET as well. I have submitted my application to the state of Kentucky to become a "Limited Liability Company" and will be separating my business accounts from my personal accounts. It's the next logical step and my tax man helped in the decision. I'll also register with the city of Bowling Green as well as soon as my tax ID is issued, though I'm not sure I really have to. From a tax standpoint I don't think I do, but from a business operational standpoint the time is right. (I used to operate from my home in the county but now have an informal office in the city... I just want to do what is right.)
Anyway, I'll try to post more often and also more on topic. I've started a personal blog to move some of my rants from here... http://blog.davidfrancis.org
