Designers daily journal 9/6/07

First the good news: I had a great meeting with a specialist in Search Engine Optimization at the Small Business Development Council in Tampa today! He really knows his stuff and it was easy to understand and follow along. I told him that I wanted to get my website to the first page of the searches without having to pay for it (sponsored search). We looked at my website and he gave me lots of ideas on what I can do to get it to the first page and also other ways to create a more user friendly website. I came away with lots of ideas and cant wait to get started. It's going to take a good amount of time to write the new copy so I need to dedicate that time in my schedule.
Now the bad news: The couple that I had planned to furnish their new rental decided to not rush things and wait to make a decision. Of course my first instinct is to ask myself what I did wrong. But that's a bad mindset and entirely unjustified so I am working through it and know that whatever happens it's for the best. I hope they are not going to go for those other designers that the property management company also refers. They use the cheapest products and there is no talent to their designs at all. I guess you get what you pay for. It's like free advice...it's worth every penny you paid.

I practiced my spanish tonight with my kids who are also taking spanish this year. Its becoming a really fun family affair. My son laughed because mom has homework!
