I’ve been a fan for a while now and always find your email newsletters very informative! I’ve been in business for over 15+ years as a graphic/web designer and product/food photographer but still learn a lot from your website and email newsletters. Keep up the good work! Thank you and aloha from Hawaii! Joanne
Thanks for the feedback Joanne.
Hello. I’m a professional photographer and i adore your newsletters. They are always very informative and useful. Thank you Vandelay Design.
P.s Your newsletters inspire me.
I have a special folder for Vandelay Design newsletters…never the garbage bin. They are a wealth of inspiration and information. Thank you!
Thanks Cheryl!
Thanks Victoria!
i would love to learn from this wonderful package! Vandelay always puts the best together, so i know this package will help me tremendously ~ thank you!
Looks like a great product! If I was just starting out, I’d snatch one up.
the timing, that i just notices this package, is near perfect. I started as a freelancer almost a year back now, in Roskilde, Denmark, and the content is just what i have been nedding. And having problems, both skills and timewise putting together; contract templates, a common design series of my communication, and goodies like icons for my website.
Would sure come in handy
Hi,
I’m putting together a photographic website to showcase my work and your website has given me plethora of useful information to help me along the way. I just want to say thank you very much!

Wondering how to start as a freelance, I definitely want one!
Contract Templates are always helpful in case there is a better way to word things or something I might not have in my current one.
The Identity Sets sound interesting for a souce of inspiratoin. Might even replace/update my current invoices and letter heads.
And I am always looking for new and/or better ways of doing things, so the E-books and Interviews are of definate interest.
This could be the grain that tips the scale of leaving the corporate world.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. From most of the customers that we have talked to it seems that the contract templates are the resources needed the most by many freelancers. These contract templates are very thorough and the attorney who drafted them did a nice job of explaining where you can and should edit or add the details of your project.
Contract templates would be very useful indeed.
looking into freelance and starting my own gig, this would definitely help!
The starter kit sounds awesome. I found this site ypusing Flipboard on my iPad. This just so awesome!!!
The starter kit is a good way of marketing. Well this post is indeed a worth a read. I definitely want the starter-kit i have just started freelancing.
I purchased this kit on Mighty Deals and I must say, either way at both prices, its worth it!
Thanks Chris!
I purchased this one in mightydeal and used it in my client
it help a lot to gain more confident and trust for my client.
tnx
