Well, what a month it's starting out to be. I hope everyone is excited for Valentine's Day, I think I'm going for three years in a row, without a date, and that isn't the worst of it! Despite my lack of progress in that department, I finally did push my way to the top of someone's pile. This month starts out with a journey into the world of Dog Training. I am working on a top secret video that will make everyone expert dog trainers. This is a great opportunity to exercise my finely tuned voice-over skills for a brand new client, and I can't wait to impress her.
I have got the easiest login ever working now on the site, and you need not come up with another username and password just for me! Hey, I'm just doing the right thing! We have too much to remember already, IMO. I'm not even a rocket-scientist, and I feel totally overwhelmed sometimes. That's why you can just login to my site with your credentials off another site. All it grabs is your e-mail.
You mind as well register too, because that will let you see all the secret content on the site. Just kidding . . . there is none! That is not entirely true either, but right now, you can access most of the Megabotix site content without registration. In fact the images below are just a sampling of my sketch diary, which is available for viewing behind the login. I do what I can to compete for your attention deficit.

This section of my site is designed to deliver information about my skills as a designer (jump to my resume). Also you will find out about the process and workflow, so you can know what to expect when we tackle your project or repairs!
My name is Adam Newdow and I am a professional freelancer from Cincinnait, Ohio. The one thing that sets me apart from most web developers, is my fine art background in painting and sculpture. When you combine that with techy and affordable, then you get a one-man-army at your service.

Information
Individuals and Small Businesses
You need a site quickly that isn't too complex. That way you can tie it in to your other marketing and add punch to your product. A good basic site should allow you to:
- Update your content and posts without advanced knowledge.
- Connect with your fans on social media pages.
- Generate and track leads, so you can measure results.
Contact me and I can show you the back end controls of two leading web platforms for you to choose from.
eCommerce and Advanced Design
You may not need something too advanced to get your goals accomplished. Then again, you might. In that case the best idea is to contact me, and I can give you a run down of current tech trends. I don't charge new clients for the first 30 minutes so there's no obligation to speak with me. There is so much BS out there right now, you owe it to yourself to give me a shout.
Facebook and Social Media Management
Whether you like spending time on facebook, or not, you really shouldn't neglect the incredible resources available. Many people who wouldn't ordinarily use the internet, still use facebook (shhh, don't tell them it's on the internet). It takes time to gather quality followers, so it's best to go ahead an get started. My approach keeps your company in the spotlight without grating on visitor's nerves. Additionally, many sites now feature social login, so users can login with their facebook ID.
Pricing
Pricing - How much is this going to cost me?
Paypal is the preferred payment method for web services rendered from Megabotix LLC. Special arrangements will be made for clients who require payment alternatives to Paypal.
Recent Changes: Megabotix has just switched to Chrometa, and so should you! (Tell them I reffered you and I will give you 99 minutes of free design time!!!) Chrometa passively tracks project times, so all you have to do is drag project tasks to the appropiate bin, and label them. Everything else is handled easily and intuitively, from spreadsheet exporting, data reporting, and invoicing. Try it for free, and I will give you 99min of time on your project.
Rush Delivery: For items requiring a 24-hour turnaround we ask that you please add a 25% rush fee to your order. Emergancies that require us to drop everything immdeiately require a 33% adjustment to the final invoice.
My current rate is $50/hr.
Hourly rate subject to change based on shop load, quality, and desired turnaround time. Please contact me for details.
I offer 60 minutes of introductory service at no charge, and then invoice regularly to maintain a zero balance on customer accounts. Since I don't require a contract to begin work, I rely on clear communication and timely payments to maintain good standing.
Charges are recorded with a detailed entry that notes the date, time, duration, and nature of the work. For example:
9.22.12 8:28-8:45 17min. Web Services - Plugins Added, Layout Adjusted, Background Modification
9.24.12 4:35-4:58 23min. Web Services - Logo Replace, Spacing Issue on Content
9.26.12 20:28-21:48 80min. Security - Virus Removal/ Trouble-shooting/ On-going Security Measures
Determining a ball park estimate for a website can be tricky because each project can have a huge range of requirements. At Megabotix LLC. I have done away with most of the headache by switching my services from flat rate billing, to an affordable hourly rate, across all of the skilled services I offer. Since that change, I have seen improvements to efficiency, and improvements to my clients level of satisfaction.
FRAUD ALERT! - It is all too easy to get taken advantage of in the internet marketplace due to the mysticism surrounding advanced web techniques. I constantly find myself cringing upon discovering the bloated rates charged to unsuspecting customers. It's hard to blame the salesman, when customers do almost nothing to educate themselves about the work involved, or the expertise required to deliver results. Please contact me, Adam Newdow from Megabotix, and let me dispell the mystery, and save you a bundle on your web services.
I have put together a very short presentation of my resume and samples conveniently accesible below.

Good afternoon folks, please check out my for-hire page for the latest info. This article is getting a little dated, so I'm back in to refresh the content a little bit. Check back to see what I've currently got my hands into. I've been swamped managing dozens of sites in both Wordpress and Joomla!
EnterMedia Software - 2011
Entermedia got a total revamp of their site and branding which resulted in more traffic, more leads, and ultimately more customers. Also, take a look below. I have assembled several examples of past web design projects. Some of these sites are still up, and others are available online at alternate addresses. If you would like to see the functioning sites, you are on the best one right now. Megabotix.com now grow.
Megabotix LLC. operates out of it's headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. Megabotix is pro-local business, and we also serve international clients, via a broadband connect. Cincinnati is a wonderful metropolitan area located smack dab in the heart of America, and the Megabotix headquarters are in a small artsy neighborhood called Northside and which used to be known as Cumminsville before it was divided by infrastructure development.
Northside is home to fine artists and craftsmen and women of all types, which is why Megabotix is located here. Initially I envisioned this company as a way to finally connect and communicate with my peers in a way that help us blossom individually and as a whole all at the same time. I am serious about deliverables, but besides that I am easy-going and I love to laugh. My whole approach is to produce art of all types, and to that end, I have dedicated my life to establishing a rich knowledge of multi-media applications and production. In other words, I am an artist who loves to produce art of all kinds! Choreography is an area, I have really been excited to break into based off my Kung Fu knowledge just to give you an idea. My focus is around visual, musical, and choreographic elements.
