Even if they’ll eventually go online, the best way to build and test websites is offline. That way, even if you’re internet connection suddenly gives out, you can continue working. You’re also not using up bandwidth (which you or your client might be paying for). And of course, no one will see the mistakes you […]
An irony I’m constantly reminded of as I write for Contract Worker is that success at freelancing occasionally involves mimicking the best practices of corporate workers.

One of my favorite bands is U2. Or rather was. Because I don’t like the “experimental” band I hear nowadays. I’m talking about the old-school U2, the group who became popular even before I was six. The Joshua Tree. With or Without You. Classics.

Now that you’ve decided how to store it, the next step to take before compiling your Inventory 2.0 is to make sure you have enough space/capacity to store everything. If you’re storing files, hard copies, or anything physical, you’d better make sure you have enough file cabinets, shelves, or containers to do so.

Sure, as a freelancer you have greater control over your time. So it’s easier to schedule those outings. But then, traveling remains an expensive proposition, with […]
