Custom Blogs
Sorry to break it to all my readers but I have a profit agenda with this blog. I know, you thought I was an altruistic, flower loving hippy.
I designed my original blog to test if I could build a blog without using any outside scripts. Guess what? It was a success. Now I customize php driven blogs to meet my customers needs. If you come from the lands of Xanga, MySpace, LiveJournal or any other emo teenage ridden hell; I am here to save you. This blog is only a fraction of what I could do for you.
Dynamic, content driven web sites and blogs are the future of the Internet. The faster you can get updated information to your customers or readers, the more likely they will be willing to visit your site again and again. Giving your users the ability to interact dynamically with the site (eg. comments, personalization, etc.) is also an incentive for repeat visits. The future is here and I am ready to deliver.
Just imagine having a custom blog, portfolio or website that you have complete control of. Track and control every aspect of your visitor and market yourself or your product to them. There are so many options with database driven sites that your control and tracking options are numerous.
You can even make money by running simple text ads on your custom blog. Even if you do not have a profit motive in mind (although it makes life so much more rewarding if you do) you can still generate enough cash to pay for the expenses of hosting and possibly even design. I can help you set up non-intrusive, targeted ads (such as the ones seen on the main page of this blog and menu bar) to help you recover your costs.
Function and form are my top priorities. I think web sites should be functional, easy to navigate, and be representative of your unique image. If you are not convinced with the layout of this site, I have many more I could show you so you can see that no two designs are alike.
My rates are fair. I am a college graduate that is in love with the new media-scape known as the Internet. Although I have been a web site designer for years, this is a new venue for me so my rates will be low as I am starting off. Many of my web design customers wish they had have taken advantage of my low rates when I was starting off and I encourage you to do the same with this new section of my business.

MAF, how can you make money when you only allow registered users to view the major parts of this blog? The readers of my blog are all linked to me by word of mouth. I have met some of the most intelligent people in my short time participating in the free blogging community and through them I have met many more. If you are reading this you are probably in need, or will be in need, of my services because your word is more valuable than the free blog space it resides on at the moment. Also, I like to let my clients know who I am before they even decide to hire me, and I think it is only fair as I will be getting to know you as I customize your site based on who you are as an individual.
