I appreciate the advice, and I do understand your concerns.
We are taking it VERY slow. It will remain a side job until we have a clear, longer term plan. We aren't going to rush into anything that we're not ready for, financially or socially. Trust me, Slashdot is not the only place we are seeking advice.
As far as competing with the "whole world," we are currently, and plan to keep, serving a couple of specialized, niche business areas, capitalizing on grassroots advertising. We feel that this is a way of limiting the competition somewhat.
Go ahead, disappoint away. We need criticism to make us better formulate our plans.
This is informal research to go along with other feasibilty research that I have been doing.
2.He is working with his wife and by doing that he is risking a divorce.
Some couples do have teamwork and relational skills. We're not all cube geeks who don't know how to relate.:-)
3.The web design business is saturated.
You're probably right about this.
4.since he is not a business yet then probably his list of clients are uncle joe and cousin george.
My wife is already an experienced creative designer, and I have more than a five years web design and development experience. Our client list currently consists of two professional organizations, two city departments, and three companies. We are also bidding on a couple of small business accounts.
