Rizal Rural Bank

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Just finished my very first project for 2010. The project was to design and develop a website for a rural bank in Dipolog City namely Rizal Rural Bank. It was a basic website with only 5 pages and it took me a couple of days to finish it. The site is now live and can be viewed at this URL, http://www.rbrizal.com.

I did not encounter any problems while working on this project. The client was very easy to work with and all the things that were needed to create the website like photos and editorial copy were easily made available by the client. This led to the quick completion of the website.

The scope of the project include the following:

  • designing the overall look and feel of the website
  • slicing the design and converting it into HTML
  • turning the main masthead graphic into a Flash animated masthead
  • finishing the website in only 2 days

Earning An Honest Living Is Bad?

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

In 2009, I worked for a marketing company in the United States as a subcontractor. The work I did for this company involved designing landing pages and banners ads and, as far as I know, it was an honest work. What this company do with the landing pages and banner ads afterward is already none of my business. The same is true with the websites I designed and developed for my clients. What they do with their website after it is finished and deployed is none of my business too. My only concern is that I get paid after each work is completed and delivered to the them.

Just because I created landing pages for another company or client doesn’t mean that I’m going to start annoying people with pop-ups or that I’m going to start e-mail spamming people. It was just work. I was subcontracted by a company to make landing pages and banner ads and it was an honest paying work that fed my family for several months. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
