How to Prepare for a Site Redesign
This week, I am flying solo, for the first time in a while, to continue our discussion about site redesigns and adding my own spin on it.

Drawing on some of the information in my past episodes, I break down all of the steps I have taken to prepare for this time (and money) consuming project.

How to Work with Designers and Programmers
Oftentimes, new eCommerce owners will spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a website design when they are just starting out. They want everything personalized and huge from the beginning, when they don't yet understand what their customers need. It is a known fact that good website designers and developers, let alone some of the best, are not cheap, and not every designer’s style will be a good match for each eCommerce business’s requirements.
Should You Learn How to Code?
Drew Sanocki returns to the show again this week, and this time, we are discussing the importance of coding skills in online solo entrepreneurship. As more resources like oDesk are popping up, it is creating a situation where it is incredibly inexpensive to outsource programming to great coders. While the urgency to learn in order to be successful seems to be fading, we argue that this knowledge will be absolutely vital to your success.
