Hello!

I have a small question. I decided to "open my own business", I assembled a team of developers. We specialize in creating websites in ASP.NET and Java.

So: where do we start? Soon we register officially, so I would like to find customers to work on more or less serious projects. We don’t have much experience, but there is a site that works perfectly with a good design, which we can present to the customer and say: "Well, look - a good site, it works fine, without lags and with good user reviews." The site is really good :)

Those. As always, the most difficult thing is to start. Where to find customers? And how to declare in general about us? Share your experience, hashkodovtsy!

UPD: More relevant to the @Modus answer:

Each of us has already worked a lot himself, each is quite good at his own business: I am in ASP.NET and Java, the other is in layout, and the third is in testing. Experience as a team with us - one project. Soon I am completing the site of one customer (from Minsk, Belarus) and want to "unite our efforts" and begin to work seriously together. One serious potential client, to whom I offered services to work on a serious project, said that he could not enter into an agreement with those who were not officially registered. That's why we decided to register, and not “hang out” as freelancers.

But this is only one customer. I would just like to know how to start correctly and that someone who has experience shared it.

It is a pity, of course, that this question was accepted as "into fists . "

    free-lance why created? hh, hatim and other services. If there was enough money to register officially, then giving these services to the paw so that they would not be put into the top of the problems ... - Baran
  • @Spectre, do you ask as a potential customer?) Because otherwise it will look like an advertisement, which, as I know, is not welcome in questions on Heskod. - megacoder
  • @BoranOnHashCode, And what, so all companies start? PS We ourselves worked on freelancing. - megacoder 2:46 pm
  • @megacoder, there maybe we will look at the site and say that they would get html first and learn the csc, and then disgrace themselves at freelancing ... or maybe vice versa, ofigey from what they saw and hire you themselves?) - Gorets

Apparently, the most important commandment of any business was not invested in the head: a business is, first of all, a product or service, and only then - an organization. If a person has a developed idea of ​​his business, such questions will not arise.

It's like a joke:

novice composer: how to write symphonies?

Mozart: it's too early for you to write symphonies.

novice composer: but you wrote your first symphony at the age of 5!

Mozart: Yes, but I did not ask anyone how to write them!

    I would do (and do) exactly the opposite:

    1. There is a customer with bablosami, which is already full
    2. Under the headstock we collect progers / dizigners / translators and so on.
    3. If necessary, legally legalized
    4. Making an order - sawing grandmother

    But to type progers and run looking for customers seems to me a dead thing.

    I admit that the stage when there is a customer - sawing Grandma has already passed. Then another thing, but if this stage was not - the case of seams.

      1. Take a loan
      2. Hire Sales Managers
      3. Now it's their headache
      4. Cod, enjoy life =)

        It does not work - it has already been verified. After a couple of years, the harsh boys will come to whom the bank sold your credit and put the soldering iron in the anal hole because without it, managers and coders will suddenly take away the entire credit and everything will end very quickly. It is necessary to plow like an ox not to sleep at night, to fuck in all holes of coders, managers and so on. then the people will receive a profit - maybe. - Barmaley

      Search on the topic of the recent application (although it is already closed, I mean that there are such vacancies, you need to look for). Another reference for review.

        Work at 3-4 years old advertising agency at least, and everything will become clear :)

        After the first year of work, many people have the illusion that everything has already prokhaval (you remind me of such a character, and alas, I myself was) and figs there, and thank God if it didn’t come to a loan :)))
