WDW 2007
So I’ve been at Web Design World the past few days and I’ve handed my card out to a couple of people and realized that I’m rocking a pre-designed template for this completely dead site. Here’s the quick story about why that is.
I had a completely designed and functioning site with blog, portfolio, and service sections. I actually was starting to get a little bit of a following in the comments section too. Then I posted this video and it was Dugg. My old web hosting company pulled my site and demanded I move to their “enterprise-level” hosting plan. So they were asking that I went from $7.95 a month to over $300 a month. I am just one guy and without this video my site hits were in the 10s-a-day level. I took the page down and that didn’t appease them. They would not reactivate my account unless I went to an “enterprise-level” hosting plan.
This wonderful company was aplus.net hosting (no way I’m linking to them here). I would highly urge you to not consider this bunch of clowns when considering your hosting options.
Anyway I jumped over to Dreamhost and I simply haven’t had time to put my new design and portfolio up yet. I’m definitely reinvigorated after seeing some really good stuff here at the conference but I imagine it will be another month or so before I can launch my custom Wordpress template and portfolio work. I am a designer, I promise.

Hello Herr Freitag,
Too bad I missed the old site, looking forward to seeing a new design.
