I just don’t get it….
\nI just finished another nightly surf through the web and stumbled across a few web designer’s sites.<\/p>\n

………and they all refer to themselves in third person plural….<\/p>\n

Yeah I admit it. I was guilty of that once. Don’t let your client know you’re the only guy in the office. Doesn’t look professional, right?<\/p>\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n

Technically, that’s the first lie to your client, I figure. There’s a little piece of trust lost right from the get go.<\/p>\n

I’m shooting for honesty here. Technically, Erox Graphix can be referred to as “we” or “us”, because my wife Carole does handle the finances, gets me a lot of business through word of mouth, and keeps buying me those wee little vivarin pills that keep me going all night long working on websites. I also pull in a lot of freelancers to help me when I’m swamped. But still, you’re primarily dealing with sweet lil’ ol’ me for the majority of it.<\/p>\n
