Brandon certainly lives up to the high praise that he has received from others. He helped clear up many questions I had regarding my new website in a clear and concise manner. Although many of the concepts are foreign to me, Brandon was able to help me understand many things I would have never even thought of otherwise. I'd highly recommend speaking with Brandon for any of your development needs. I know I'll certainly be giving him a call again soon. Thanks again, Brandon!

I was VERY skeptical about paying for business advice but after my amazing call with Brandon I feel like I've got a CONCRETE sense of direction regarding my business goals and next steps on how to bring them to reality. Thank you Brandon! Very much looking forward to our call on Friday!

Great information on some conceptual level SQL queries, and good recommendations on applications and usage of javascript, especially in relation to what I am currently working on. It's nice to hear a voice of common sense in such a complicated and abstract world.

Our team uses Basecamp and Slack. Both are very easy to use and have a lot of features out of the box.

Basecamp's benefit compared to other project management software is that it is easy to use. We have used other systems with our clients like Jira and iMeet but we found both had a learning curve that was much steeper than Basecamp.

Slack isn't really a project management system but it really helps us with our communication. It allows for "channels" so you could talk about different projects with the same people without confusion. It also has a lot of integrations and will definitely help out a lot. It has an unlimited free trial so there is really no reason not to try it.

Imagine your best friend is arrested for a crime you know they did not commit, if convicted, they would be sent to jail. You need to hire a lawyer. The lawyers have the same level of experience. The only difference is the price. One is $50/hour, and the other is $600/hour. Which one do you choose? Most people would want the $600/hour lawyer because they are perceived to be higher quality and it gives you the piece of mind that you are doing everything for your friend. This mindset is the same when people buy shirts, food, cars, or services. A cheaper cost leads people to assume there is something wrong with the product.

Brandon Brotsky, Dev / Designer / Founder of Brotsky, LLC answered:

This depends on who your client is, how much their revenue is, if the website will give them a ROI (return on investment), and how talented you are.

My agency (https://www.brotskydesigns.com) does pricing based on what we estimate the time commitment will be. If we estimate the job will take 40 hours and our hourly rate is $x we simply charge $x * 40. We make sure to cap off the hours so clients don't take advantage of us and we don't end up stuck in endless projects.

Brandon Brotsky, Dev / Designer / Founder of Brotsky, LLC answered:

They sure will. Google even has an API for this( https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/structured_data#overview ) as does Twitter, YouTube and probably the other sites you are looking into. The major problem you will have is the limits and these services will get pretty expensive fast if you reach them. I would look into something like Apache Solr or Elasticsearch to help you store your results so this is less of an issue. Good luck!

Brandon Brotsky, Dev / Designer / Founder of Brotsky, LLC answered:

Every business is different, so it's hard to give you an exact answer that works for you but generally, when clients come to my agency (https://www.brotskydesigns.com) we follow these five main points:
1. Collect - We start by research demographics, collect data, etc.
2. Plan and Organize - We come up with a marketing strategy with hit lists, schedules, and budgets.
3. Deployment - We will start our plan and let it take effect.
4. Analyze - We review marketing data and figure out what worked and what didn't work.
5. Repeat - We fix our mistakes and continue doing things that worked.

I hope this helped. :)

Brandon Brotsky, Dev / Designer / Founder of Brotsky, LLC answered:

For my agency (https://www.brotskydesigns.com), I found that client logos really help sell us. Customers tend to care about who your company serves more than more important things like quality or value.

For example, our first "big name" was Howie Mandel. We did his website. The website was pretty standard and no different, technically speaking, than any other client we had at the time but since it was a celebrity that most people have heard of we started getting a lot more clients and bigger companies or celebrities started taking us more seriously.
