OK, I've taken a bit of a ribbing lately because I went headlong into HTML years and years ago, learnt what I thought was everything, then moved onto more complicated scripting languages, forgetting some of the most basic HTML things, like putting the tag in the proper place. I know where it goes, but my mind puts it there because I've done it so often. Anyway, enough of my problems, this is the place to list all your web design standards that you think every site should comform to.
Take it away, Tyla...

Thing about ASP is, it takes SO MUCH EFFORT to do ANYTHING! Have you seen the code needed to connect to any database? Rediculous! And as for features, there are none whatsoever. Absolutely anything you can think of that isn't strictly string manipulation requires you to license external software! It costs, I reckon, over £1000 to get an site license for the stuff that PHP will do out-of-the-box!

Cool.
I've just had a quick crash course in ASP / SQL but have already convinced them to use Linux / PHP if it suit the purpose better.
Trying also to get all of our *nix accounts held at DC. Current use a really cr@p Host who's Win2K3 only. IIS sucks! Soon get in a Linux Server, give it a week or two!;)

Bronco Internet, they write ASP mainly, but I'll be hoping to help them bring in a PHP department. It's standard web design fare, but I'll probably be helping with some of their SEO applications.

Don't suppose we can blame you for the mess that is the Sony site at the moment can we? Please, please, make someone get some sort of standard design together, trying to use it quickly at work is a nightmare :/

For what it's worth, I started off as a freelance Internet developer, but as from Tuesday I'll be starting full time.

I do both. I'm employed full time as a Website Designer/Graphic Designer as freelance as the same thing. Only been freelancing for 2 years but have been working in the industry for over 6.
There's nothing wrong with diving stright into freelance work, I hjave a few friends that went that way, but going through the "working" route as I have gives you a better idea on how companies percieve things.
Ironicly, the firm I just resigned from have invited me back as a freelancer for a project which will pay me more in 3 months that I would have earned in 6 months being employed by them!
