Kudos to the Chicago Tribune this morning for printing a story that poses the very same question I ask myself every time I hear about legal action taken against sex workers. And that is, ‘Why is this illegal?’.

Just a heads up that beginning January 1st 2008, my services and fees will be changing as follows:

Web Design Services:

• Standard fee will increase from $750 to $800
• Secure SSL Form Processing will now be available to everyone at no additional cost
• Hosting is now provided on a private, dedicated server owned by Veda Designs
• VedaCMS, which allows companions to update text, photos and maintain a simple availability calendar has been completely rewritten and unified into one secure location.
• Everything else that was previously included

Hosting Renewal Fees*

• 1 Year Renewal: $120
• 6 Month Renwal: $90 (previously unavailable)
• Month-to-Month: $20 (previously unavailable)

* Existing Veda clients that have paid for the next year of hosting will not need to worry about the new hosting fees until their next renewal term.

My general policy until now has been to have the first working draft of a new website ready within one week from when I’m sent all of the project data. However, because the new baby is more active and mobile now…I’m finding that I have less time for uninterrupted work throughout the day and recent projects are taking about a week longer than they once did.

Just a heads up that I will be migrating this website to a new server tonight. Depending on how long it takes for the server admins to reinstall my SSL certificate, my site may be down throughout the night.

Taking advantage of the holiday weekend, I’ve decided to finally launch my new site design, which was in passive development for the last two months. I’ve been wanting to do a web 2.0 look for quite some time (bigger fonts, soothing colors, lots of whitespace etc) – and am happy with the result. It’s different than my typical companion designs – but I’m aiming for usability with this site.
