Welcome to the Escape Blog

I am loving the concept of Sitepoint. A website that brings together designers, developers and small businesses.

If you need a design or web job doing and you have a small budget, you can run a competition, offer a cash prize of your chosing and attract a number of entries. Then you get to choose the winner.

• As a small business, or start-up, you can get some inexpensive design and web work that could make a massive difference to your brand.
• As a freelance designer, programmer, or student, you can make an appropriate amount of money if your work is chosen. It may even start your career.

It’s quite a simple idea, and I’m sure it’s not unique, but it brings people (who need each other) together. I am not sure the ratio of work you’d have to put in against the amount of return you could make would justify the effort. But I guess that is down to a bit of trial and error.
