A mutually beneficial triad: the firm, the associate, and the client.
With the associate structure, the associates do not earn a steady paycheck -- instead, their earnings are entirely performance based. Associates are required to meet performance standards and minimums or they will lose their associate position.
- The associate benefits from having independence and ability to set their own schedule, yet have the support and resources usually available to an employee, and most importantly, the opportunity to earn what they are worth.
- This benefits the firm with reliable cash flow, ensuring that everyone excels, and higher profitability, to mention a few.
- As an end result, the client benefits from having access to a group of the best, high performing, creative professionals.

Our dedicated server is a full computer sporting an Intel Core2 Duo 2.13 GHz with 2 GB RAM that focuses entirely on serving our 30+ websites. The result? Your websites and host-based emails will respond faster as there's a lot less interference from other websites that demand resources.

One of the first things we're usually asked is how much our consulting services cost. In an industry where there's no official baseline or standard, it's extremely difficult to put a competitive price on what we do. We have relatively low rates compared to most because we focus only on areas that help clients save time and money on tasks they would otherwise be required to do themselves, like effectively brainstorming, planning, developing, setting up and training staff on how to use an online customer relationship and support system. Read on to view our website consulting services page and our service pricing.

To put it in layman terms, would you build a house without a floor plan? Any website, no matter how small, should be treated the same way; whether it's a few minutes making an outline or a few hours for a complete road map.

Even for the smallest and simplest of websites, there are quite a number of details to work out from purchasing the domain name and hosting to the actual design and development work that goes into building them. There are also different web technologies to take into consideration depending on clients' budget, needs and desires, such as Flash development, e-commerce and other specific functions. It can all be quite overwhelming to the layperson who just wants a basic website done on a shoestring budget.

Today's sites more often than not have video / flash needs. We have not done a lot of flash work since it requires a big budget, but we have the skill required to do most types of flash work, as well as proven video experience. We have a couple freelancers who do video editing as well.
A Few Examples:
Academic ASL Approach - an "all ASL" site www.AcademicASLApproach.com
Artist Site with Flash Header & Gallery - www.LeilaniArt.com
* Many of our sites above also have built in video option in the CMS

Satdaya is pleased to launch its brand new website and service model! After nearly five years of operating as HTMLaddicts, mom and pop shop, the business is making some major changes.

Originally, the company was a full services shop - "one stop shop" for every website owner, a firm consisting of full time staff working with a group of regular contractors. This limits the pool of talent available to work with. Also, with all services being handled in-house, including quality assurance, budget management, project management, schedule coordination, and other factors quickly drives up the price tag.
Under the new model, the service Satdaya Studios offers consist mainly of consulting, planning, and coordination. The biggest difference is that we distribute requests for bids in our network and post them on specialized job boards, and then present the bids to the client, who may then choose to work directly with the third party or hire Satdaya to handle that end. This gives the client greater opportunity to be fully involved or reduce project management costs.

PART ONE: taking the first step
For years now, I have been talking about starting a blog and/or vlog, both as a professional and personally for friends and family. In fact, it's almost ridiculous that I, a professional web developer haven't started yet! If I can do things with software in minutes that take others hours of painstaking trial and error, a blog and/or a vlog should be easy for me.
The problem is, I'm a perfectionist. When I imagine producing a vlog, I picture a high quality video with a good backdrop and lighting, myself perfectly polished signing perfect ASL, the video captioned. The script would be written and practiced beforehand. Then the video would have to be well edited with smooth transition between scenes and little pop ups of text. The sheer magnitude of the project becomes overwhelming. Just thinking about it makes me feel like taking a vacation already!
