Dress up for the Party!

January 11th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

My website is www.top10reads.com.

It’s a very simple idea and should have been quite easy to build.   Or so I thought at the time.

If you work in IT you already know all about scope creep.  It’s always that marketing person suggesting one minor feature or that manager who promised a tiny enhancement that they forgot about till the last minute that  time and again blow a project out of the water, right?

Well, in this case the new requirement was added by yours truly. My new requirement was to build this website using as much free technology and tools as possible. And yes I do mean free as in free beer and not just free as in open source. After all who can afford to sink money in a new venture when tomorrow could just be a layoff waiting to happen!

It’s been about a month now and I’ve barely made it past the initial launch! 

So… are you also interested in developing a web site on a shoestring budget ? Then you’ve come to the right place. I’ll post whatever I learn from this experience, and I sincerely hope that this helps you build your own dream website!
