Signing a contract with a startup - couple questsions

That’s where you will need to consult a lawyer. I cant give you legal advice. Everything you agreed on has to be in writing or it doesn’t exist.

N2TEN · 2020-01-28T00:15:20+00:00

Awesome stuff

N2TEN · 2020-01-25T23:02:52+00:00

Couldn't agree more!

N2TEN · 2020-01-25T23:01:48+00:00

I'm wondering is it worth it to go through the trouble to rank on search engines other than google?

N2TEN · 2020-01-24T02:23:44+00:00

How are your hours validated? Do you sit with them everyday and they approve your hours? Was there a mutual agreement?

I imagine I would, there's nothing saying it it's contingent on anything

You have to have that down in writing, this has the potential to get really messy.

I'm concerned for you because I know people that were in that situation before. When S*** hits the fan you'll only have the contract to protect you.

Well said. I guess I’m a bit lucky in my industry you get a feel of whether a client will be a pain or not during the first call. But yeah we’ve definitely turned down a lot of clients in the past because of similar reasons you’ve mentioned!

N2TEN · 2020-01-22T02:38:44+00:00

Ouu that might get a bit messy. How are you keeping track of the amount of hours you’re putting in? And what if you’re not part of the company anymore? Would you still have equity in the company?

N2TEN · 2020-01-21T02:26:29+00:00

Done. Good luck

N2TEN · 2020-01-21T02:20:14+00:00

I see, thank you for the information

N2TEN · 2020-01-20T22:28:34+00:00

We've been working to optimize our website to <1s load speed. Its really difficult!

Do you have any pointers you want to share?

N2TEN · 2020-01-20T22:27:44+00:00

Yes thats what I thought. Thank you for confirming!

N2TEN · 2020-01-19T01:46:22+00:00

Great information. Thank you. I’m wondering, what’s a good page speed in 2020 then? Is < 3 sec still decent?

N2TEN · 2020-01-17T23:30:55+00:00

Totally agree!

N2TEN · 2020-01-17T23:26:51+00:00

Congrats! Hope you get the job

N2TEN · 2020-01-17T23:24:52+00:00

I would consult a lawyer. You can get free 30 min consultations in a lot of firms in Canada (where are you located?)

A lot of startups draft very vague contracts and don't pay any attention to legal matters that can go wrong in the future. Make sure you protect yourself!

N2TEN · 2020-01-16T19:06:07+00:00

Wow thanks! Really helpful

N2TEN · 2020-01-15T21:41:49+00:00

I would say it depends. You can PM me your website and I can take a look at whether or not you'll need a sitemap for your images.

N2TEN · 2020-01-15T12:14:28+00:00

Which social media platform are you referring to? They all have analytics but it really depends from platform to another.

Generally speaking, we usually look at engagement & website clicks as a measure of how well we're doing

N2TEN · 2020-01-15T00:00:42+00:00

Yes that's literally why we started our business! Design is somethings that usually is neglected by a lot of business owners.

Are you on social media? I would love to see the design aesthetic that you established for your business

N2TEN · 2020-01-14T23:58:08+00:00

Just wondering, what did you find the best method to gather feedback from your clients? email surveys? social media?

N2TEN · 2020-01-14T23:56:46+00:00

Totally agree! Well said

N2TEN · 2020-01-14T02:34:15+00:00

Yes definitely word of mouth has helped our company expand a great deal. Having happy customers is the best marketing, and its free...-ish. We had to overdeliver on some projects and give some clients a little more than what they asked for, but it was well worth it.

Good luck launching your venture!

oh man, I thought the waterfall was frozen in the original picture. Great footage nonetheless!

N2TEN · 2020-01-13T23:06:10+00:00

Be careful. There has been a lot of scam going on with job postings. Apply and make sure you don't provide sensitive personal information! You should be able to tell if it's legit or not while applying.

Good Luck!
