Hi folks,
I've been a web hobbyist since 1997 and have finally decided to bite the
bullet and start a 1-woman web shop. I plan on staying small, perhaps
never growing larger than 5 employees. Over the years, I've designed
on pc's and macs (I stuck with the mac), I've used at least 10 different
editors and ended up mostly hand-coding or using Coda or Dreamweaver. I
am passionate about web standards and progressive enhancement. I am
also really getting into database work and am looking forward to
building small business sites for the folks in my moderately-size town.
So, for those of you who have been where I am now, do you have any
suggestions on the best Mac hardware to buy? My laptop won't cut it
anymore. I'd like a tower but perhaps that's overkill when you can get
those little boxes more cheaply.
Then I wonder how to handle separating the development from production
environments. That is one of my biggest concerns. What software do you
recommend for that?
And, what about versioning, billing and accounting software? I'm
thinking about going with Quickbooks but using Billings to track my
time. Any thoughts about that?
Finally, any other advice you want to give would be welcome. I'll take
advice on any aspect of this.
Thanks!
Holly
