Smith http://ugaf.org/?p=448 Still newer to the area, I need advice on if I need to apply for business license in order to freelance in Salt Lake County.

I recently received a contract which asked if I had a business license. Do I need a business license? I work as a self employed, freelance Graphic Designer. I am a sole proprietor, no one works for me. I work primarily for other agencies and occasionally directly with clients. I work both on premises and in my home studio/office. So far, I’ve only been asked to provide agencies with a W-9 form.

I Googled and found information that seamed a bit conflicting: Page 12 of this pdf it lists businesses that must register. It does not mention Graphic or Web Design. But I also found this webpage which may suggest I need to.

I’ve lived and freelanced in 2 other states and Canada, two of which I was required to collect sales tax and had to register to charge, collect and pay the tax. I’ve never been required to obtain a business license. I’ve always just used my SSN or SIN.

Peer expertise and advice on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Caleb

My name is Shane and I’m teaching intermediate and advanced photoshop classes at Pixel’s in Sandy

Here’s the writeup:

 

Photoshop classes for intermediate and advanced students. 

Learn compositing, concept rendering, digital painting, design and much more.

For the advanced students there is also a studio class in the evening where you can work on your own projects and get help with animation, compatibility with other graphics programs and applications and special effects.

 

The intermediate student can hone their skills, get prepress experience, learn the tricks of the trade and learn industry standards.

There are applications for scapbookers, photographers looking to begin photoshop experimentation, people looking to improve all aspects of graphic imaging and editing. 

 This class will push you to the next level!

I just launched a wedding design service called Suavvy Invitations. I’d be interested to hear what anyone and everyone has to say about the design and/or functionality. Like most personal projects, I already have many ideas for improvements that will come later, but any feedback will only make it better.

Thanks in advance.

The goal of the site design was an increased focus on brand to demand, and a way to interactively show the Omniture Online Marketing Suite. This was accomplished using a new JQuery javascript, and a tiered rollover design. Also new are a person-based offer box, and multi-tabbed Brand box area. Site is tagged with 8 Mboxes for using Omniture Test&Target.

While the goal was increased Brand and design, the new site actually offers MORE areas for demand—63 links to offers in total!
