Please Welcome, Boston Web Studio – Posted: 62 days ago – Filed under: Business Personal
Please join me in saying, to me, you’re crazy.
“You’re crazy.”
Right, thank you, I know.
Five days ago, on May 1st, I officially joined the ranks of millions, (or the very high hundreds), of other self-employed men and women in our great nation of Massachusetts. After a little more than two years working for a marvelous local agency called Digital Bungalow, I’ve made the leap to self-employment and started my own teeny-tiny business called Boston Web Studio.

Receiving Unique Payments with PayPal – Posted: 86 days ago – Filed under: Business Clients
My small design and development gig, Boston Web Studio, has been creating websites for small-business owners since January, 2005. In the three years that have passed, I’ve never once been asked if I can take a credit card for payment on an invoice I’ve sent to a client.

Again, he said, “Step away from the computer and stand against the wall.” Entirely uncertain what I might have done wrong, my mind went foggy and I stood up. At that moment I noticed he wasn’t alone, but his badge-wielding buddies weren’t following him as he came directly towards me. Instead, they went off to different areas of the office and were saying the same canned line to my coworkers, all twenty-five of them.

Boston Web Studio Business Cards – Posted: 99 days ago – Filed under: Business
Just a quick post; I recently designed a new business card to replace the old stodgy version I had been using since 2005. While I’m not a good designer, and considering that these cost only $20.00 USD for 100 of them, I’m quite happy with the results.
