Well I figured it\u2019s time to put a face with that \u2018I\u2019. That\u2019s me with my family, it was taken during Christmas 2008.<\/p>\n<p>My name is David Lalumendre and I have been working for myself on the internet for the last 6 years. Just 6 years ago I was in the same place that you are today. I knew very little about the internet and building websites but over the years I\u2019ve learned a lot of information and made a lot of mistakes.<\/p>\n<h2>My Experience<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m lucky because my first introduction to making a website was with GoDaddy.com. I worked there for about 3 years and in that time I worked with 1000\u2032s of webmasters &amp; small business owners. I tried to get a little bit of information from each of them and put all of their information together to start making my own websites.<\/p>\n<p>I currently run a variety of websites but one of the first eCommerce websites that I developed was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbqfans.com\">BBQFans.com<\/a>. This website gave me the knowledge to write about certain topics such as accepting credit cards, shopping carts and search engine optimization.\u00a0 The fact that we produce personalized steak branding irons also required me to learn than just web development.<\/p>\n<p>I had to learn the manufacturing process, I has to learn to work with vendors, I had to learn inventory plus off-line marketing such as sales kits, drop shipping along with wholesale fulfillment.<\/p>\n<h2>My Promises To You<\/h2>\n<p>I promise to offer unbiased information to you and I\u2019ll attempt to keep this website updated with the latest website building technologies.<\/p>\n<p>I promise to keep any information that I receive from you 100% private. I will never sell or rent your information to any source. If I can\u2019t build trust with my visitors they won\u2019t return so keeping your information private is a promise.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I promise not to promote a single product that I haven\u2019t used. I do this for two reasons, one, if I haven\u2019t used it then I can\u2019t reliably write about it. Second, if I haven\u2019t used it I can\u2019t guarantee that it does what it says and in order to build trust I can only recommend something that I\u2019ve used and feel is of value to you.<\/p>\n<h2>My Mission<\/h2>\n<p>My mission is to offer 100% free content on how to make a website. Although I\u2019m not selling a single thing on this website I will make recommendations to products that I find useful. I assure you that those products that I do recommend I have used and feel are extremely valuable.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to come back to my website on a regular basis for the latest website building information or as your needs grow you\u2019ll have the need to come back to learn more about your latest venture. My mission is to keep this website updated so that you can expect the information to be up to date and accurate.<\/p>\n<h2>My Commitment<\/h2>\n<p>My commitment is to ensure that you are happy with my website and would recommend us to a friend.
