Category — #08 QD Web Design

So I thought this morning it would be a fun and successful website to start a Wordpress-driven blog along the lines of listing inoffensive and unoffensive expletives and interjections.  By that I mean people would google onto, and check daily or RSS any site that is just a big growing list of fun words to say when someone steps on your toes–and of course I’m filtering that down to words that don’t have traditional swear words in them.  Day one’s post could be “thump!” with a short essay about where the submitter has seen it used and in what context.  I think people would google onto such a site all day long, RSS feed it and send it to their friends if they’re the type of people who use such words or would like to, teach their kids to say them when they want to swear, and eventually name bands after some.

Thump!
“Based on the Caldecott Award winning kids’ book, the new qubo series My Friend Rabbit chronicles the wide-eyed adventures of Rabbit, his best friend Mouse, and a group of other colorful characters from across the animal kingdom. As Mouse says, Rabbit means well…but somehow just can’t avoid getting into sticky situations! But if they work together, they can solve each dilemma with ingenuity, creativity and, most of all, friendship.”  This show plays on Saturday mornings on qubo and on ION during the week, and the main character, the loving Rabbit, screams “Thump!” whenever he has a good idea or other cause for interjection.

Anyone like this idea, or have any suggested words?  Fetch!, fiddlesticks!, shazaam!, zargles!, …?

One of the most common suggestions for a Business A Week business is that I start a web design company.  Because launching a professional website a week really hones your skills at ripping out template-based self-maintaining sites.  It’s gotten to the point that that’s what I do–it’s moving from “hobby” to “competency.”  As such I hereby up QD Web Design. That’s not pronounced “cutey,” rather an acronym for “Quick & Dirty.” Because really that’s what I do… I can take any business, and put up a website that looks as professional as any of the ones I’ve mentioned within a coupla’ hours, and that means within $100 retail. If I get good, I can probably hit a price point of $50. So if you need a website or blog, pop me $50 and it’s yours. I’ll probably, in a business sense, make some money upselling maintenance or registering the domain or reselling hosting… For now, it’s design–design I tell you.
