Treat Yourself like you treat Your Clients - Internal Development Projects

Speaker(s):

Web Development seems to be the only industry where we treat our own company not nearly as well as we treat our clients. Internally we don't keep deadlines, we don't put forth our best work, and we often have a far less superior site compared to what we deliver to our clients.

This Session will not only cover how to manage yourself as a client but also ideas on how to put your best foot forward on your own site. How to show off your experience, capabilities, and services through not only the content on your site, but the site itself. Lets walk through creating an amazing website and portfolio for our very best client, OURSELVES!

-Managing internal projects as if they were a client
-Resource allocation for internal projects
