My freelance web design business, GushinDesigns, has started to become a thriving business. I am starting to get many good referrals from family, friends and past clients.

I am almost finished with a new photography site I am designing for a client that does all types of photography, plus I will soon re-design this client's massage web site when we finish with this project.

I have been doing work on the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation's site. They need some fixes and I am mostly doing maintenance work on their site.

I am working for another client on 2 small sites in the building/real estate industry.

For about a month I have been designing for a company called TowerOS. This is a contract type position and I have been working on and off on about 4 projects for them.

There is another client that is in the works for a re-do of his company's site. The company is Ed Brown Distributors and they sell commercial laundry equipment.

I also have another pending client for an antiques business in Jefferson, Texas that will be a new site I will create. It is creeping along and so far we have only met once and secured the hosting for the site.

The important thing is that my invoices are starting to be paid and money is starting to come into the business accounts!

Today I got a call from a recruiter for a Web Design contract position doing HTML and CSS work.

It was from a post I answered from the Dallas Craigslist Web Design job board that I frequently look at for postings related to the type of work I'm seeking.

The recruiter was very nice and told me that the client most likely would be looking for more detailed information than I had on my resume on GushinDesigns.com that pertained to the type of HTMl and CSS work I had done at Hitchfinder.com in my 2 years there.

So, this gave me the opportunity to go and look at my current resume.

Let's just say that I have revised what was there.

The online version and the downloadable PDF version were not even the same, plus the PDF was like the online version, which is to say - no caps!

The whole site is without caps and is that way because I wanted that look, but to have someone download a resume and print it out, well, it just looks silly with no caps. So that was fixed today too.

Progress marches on. Hey, I might even get a call back from the recruiter for an interview.
