My Business...

...doesn't exist yet. But soon.

Yes, I am thinking about going official and starting a Web Design business. I will be going to school for web design in the fall, and am really looking forward to that. I sat down tonight and thought through all the stuff that I would actually need to successfully design websites professionally. Here's what I came up with...

A Mac Book Pro (and I'll probably buy a separate monitor for desktop use). About $2,500 (insert "cha-ching" sound).

Adobe's Creative Suite 3.3 Web Premium software package which includes: Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Fireworks, and a few others. About $1,600.

Really that's it. Not a lot of overhead in a web design business. Everything is virtual! But it looks like it's going to take about $6,000 to get what I need. Anyone feel like donating??

That's VERY cool! I can't lend you any money, but I might be able to save you some...

...teachers and students get significant discounts on software here. I know other places offer discounts on computers, but I don't know where those places are.

Look...YOu just saved a bunch of money on your software (he said in his Geiko commercial voice...)

There are some days I'd like to donate my MacBook Pro to the first taker. I really like it, just beware of issues with the battery, fans, etc.
