We were charging $7/sq.ft. Now more in the $5/sq.ft. Due to some local low-baller. Prices are dropping on everything across the board. It's hard to make a good living in this business these days...

Yeah, let's see some pics.

Since banners are such a small part of what we do we give them away.

That's no font. It's a space station...

Sorry about that. Dan, as a merchant member certainly has the right to chime in about his services. But in this thread, members are posting links to their very own websites, real examples of what Dan stated was a seeming impossibility in his opinion. It just seemed overtly pretentious to me. My...

Building a website is nothing like building a house, so bad analogy. Building a website is well up the alley of a graphic designer like many of us here. Bearing in mind, of course, what this entire thread pertains to, I think it was a bit of an inappropriate thing to say, IMHO.

I do all my own SEO and I score phenomenally well here in CLT. You CAN learn to do it yourself.

One vote for WordPress. Dan, not smart a thing to say. Not at all. We may not be as talented as you but you are not giving us "average" guys enough credit. People can learn ya know...

Wow, man, I could not have done that better myself. Kudos to you, John. That is first class. Very creative. I LIKE it!

What's the best program to use? I designed several sites for my customers, but thus far I've only used Godaddy's Website Tonite. I'm learning Concrete5, Wix seems pretty good, and Flux5 is looking very promising at $99. I have not tried out DreamWeaver, WordPress or Joomla. What do you guys use?

Anyone coming into Charlotte who wants to drop by my place and talk shop is welcome to do so. I'll be at the show on Saturday. As for things to do uptown, check out RiRa's. It's a seemingly authentic Irish pub. One of my favorite watering holes.

To the best of my knowledge, we have never butted heads with VistaPrint. Most customers know you get what you pay for. As for customer service, we rarely do on-site consultations. It is time consuming and therefore expensive. In-shop consultations are more effective and infinitely easier to...

I'll be there. Easy for me as we are located here in Charlotte. The local the economy, as well as our sales have picked up quite a bit over the past year. I would like to see that reflected in the number of suppliers and vendors at the show. We are looking very closely at adding a flatbed...

Jekyll Island, Ga.

If you are talking about printing flyers on your wide format ink jet, that is not cost effective. You can buy bond paper for your ink jet, though. We print flyers for our customers on our color copier. We print on Mohawk color copy gloss.

A year and a half ago we jumped feet first and added screen printing to our business. 6 color press, exposure unit, Epson 4660 for film, oven, spot dryer, washout booth, the WORKS. Then as weeks turned to months, we learned the hard way, that this marked is nothing less than OVER-SATURATED. Then...

Anyone in the Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, SC area to help me. At the very least it will entail the installation of a sign for an upcoming auction. Help! Feel free to call me or PM me. Thanks!

That would make the coolest Franken Signs shop hearse. Could it make the trip back east?

May I add, this is my sentiment as well.

I've been pretty much holding my breath for a Roland flatbed. Let's see what comes from this. My guess is they'll get it right, and I'll be one of the first in line to buy one.
