Attention Clients: Changes at One James

One James — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:24:25 +0000

As of this summer, we will have been in business for seven years! First and foremost, thank you for your business and support. Second, we have some announcements regarding upcoming changes in rates and availability/scheduling. As some of you already know, there are some big changes happening at One James.

1. RATES:

We will be standardizing rates across the board. If you are a new client (within the last few years), you will not notice any change. If you are an older client, you will be asked to pay the same rates newer clients are paying. As of June 1, 2010, our hourly rate for all business clients will be standardized at $75/hr., for all services, for any new requests. The nonprofit rate will be $60/hr. Requests for updates on existing projects made between now and June 1 will be charged at the existing rate for each client.

2. AVAILABILITY/SCHEDULING:

Also, although we will continue to support existing clients, we will no longer be taking on work from new clients for the foreseeable future.

Over the last couple years, and through the culmination of various events, including multiple major surgeries, changing economic conditions, and experiences with recent projects, I have decided to step back to part-time status. This will include a part-time return to academia, during which time I will be out of the office part of the day. And, because my schedule will be a bit tighter, I just ask that you give me advance notice for any big changes. I will do my best to make sure your requests are taken care of quickly and that existing projects are either wrapped up or in a state where they can be easily maintained in house or passed on.

Again, I want to say thank you for your business, support, and encouragement and for your patience and understanding through the upcoming transition period.

Designing a logo is a story. It's a tale of drama, adventure, comedy, and sometimes head scratching confusion. Often you finish the journey smoothly, but sometimes you make several stops along the way.

This is the story of the Tabernacle Logo.

Phone numbers are a changin'

One James — Sun, 10 May 2009 22:23:00 +0000

I just received a letter from AT&T that they will be discontinuing their CallVantage Internet-based phone service. This means that after several years using it, we need to use a new provider, and, most important, our phone numbers 804.253.1367 and 970.372.3300 will be defunct.

Effective immediately, the phone number for One James is: 970.631.8690

Apologies for any inconvenience, and FYI, I have free long distance, so if you do not, please let me know so I can call you whenever we talk.

I made myself a shirt using a Da Vinci flying machine sketch -- and a free storefront on Cafe Press so you could get one too.

Coming back slowly

One James — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:17:00 +0000

After a few months of surgeries (four since August), I'm back from bed rest and working on my computer again. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and patience. Currently, I'm catching up on existing client work, but I hope to begin taking new jobs by mid-April. - JP
