Forecast for 2009

2008 was a difficult year for my company. A single project consumed all my time, and I left marketing and sales by the wayside. Sales were very minimal.

Towards the end of 2008, I committed more capital to position myself to better serve clients, and handle larger projects. The company website and client websites are now hosted on a very fast, dedicated server, close in proximity to where my clients and I are located. The server is a rental from ServerBeach.com. I came back as a result of their old customer promotion to waive the first month’s charges. I tried them out again, and decided that was the best solution for me. It is more expensive, but gives me room to grow. My server is still very underutilized, so if you are interested in web hosting, please call (800) 380-4093 and we can work out an affordable monthly fee for hosting services. I do monitor the server to make sure the speed of the network is living up to the quality I would expect. One thing I want my customers to have is a web site with fast load times.

I’m poised to take on some software projects next year, both application development and backend coding for the web. For some reason I can’t explain, I always do better on odd years. Even numbered years tend to be very slow.

Even though the economy is not doing well, I expect to be able to find customers. Our society is increasingly dependent on software, IT services, web sites and hosting to fulfill their business needs. I hope to do more article writing for rtcubed.com, and more theology reviews next year on this website.

Thanks to all my customers for your support this year!
