Frequently Asked Questions
Does this conflict with the marketing members in the chapter?
No. Our marketing members focus on strategy, SEO, and ad campaigns. You'd own graphic design — they'd refer design work to you, and you'd refer strategy clients to them. It's a power-partner relationship.
What if I also do web design?
Web design can be part of your offering. We can discuss the boundaries with the chapter to make sure there's no overlap with our IT member.
