What We’ve Learned in 10 years
posted by Nick Weynand on October 26, 2009 | permalink | comment (1)
Earlier this month, we at TradeMark Media celebrated our 10th year in business. When I started designing Web sites for extra cash in college, I never imagined that we would make it to ten years. Back then, I didn’t look that far ahead. Now that we’re here, I can’t believe it happened so fast.
Luck has had a big part in our success. However, I can’t think that we’ve made it to ten years solely on chance. The first few years in business were run “trial and error”. We made more mistakes than I’d like to admit, but we did take valuable lessons from each one. As we grew and became more experienced, we slowly turned those lessons learned into doctrines that we run our business by today. These have become our keys to success and I don’t mind sharing them with you.

Network Solutions, the original domain name registrar, recently launched their brand-new Web site. While clicking around, I noticed a set of icons that still had the istockphoto watermark across them. Did NetSol forget to purchase the rights or are they just being cheap? I would think the former, but everyone’s trying to cut costs these days.
