We are BoDo: Business of Design online

BoDo is
Where to come for practical business advice. Maybe you’ve already made a range of expensive mistakes. Maybe you are trying to avoid the possibilities. No prob, your-mistakes-are-us.

BoDo is grass-roots-get-down-and-dirty-love-yo-mamma. We’ll talk about serious subjects such as “When to bring in a PITA clause,” “How to keep your clients” and “How to fire a client.” As well as lighter fare like “Working in your undies” and “How to tell when your down time is up.”

BoDo isn’t
Filled with deep theoretical conversations on the whys and wherefores of design. Nor will it be filled with tutorials on software techniques (although we will have a collection in BoDo’s resources).

BoDo is
Where vets (some full-time BoDo authors, some visiting), talk about their businesses experiences. Not stopping at their successes, also shared will be mistakes made, lessons learned.

BoDo isn’t
Creative Latitude. Similar, yes, only on steroids.

We are BoDo
Regularly scheduled posts will be handled by the BoDo Team, Catherine (cat) Morley, Neil (nt) Tortorella and Jeanette (jay).

Also BoDo
BoDo has a growing list of visiting authors, all focusing on a particular niche. At present the subjects cover book reviews, business writing, communication management, creative coaching, in-house, new business start-ups, printers and pre press situations.

Coming in BoDo
Future authors will cover the business of illustration, blogging for your business, proposal writing, working with contracts, branding and more. As they appear they’ll be added to the visiting authors section.

BoDo has been designed, coded, prodded and massaged by FastCoconut.com
Our hosting company and all around good buddies, Conor, Velda and the rest of the gang are over at Hands-on Web Hosting.
