Anté Up peeps!

I've owned the domain microvisuals.com for roughly two years now, and never launched anything on it apart from a few splash pages. I'm looking to start work on the final release design, but I'm a little torn on which approach to take.

I could go with Solo Freelancer , or Business Entity. Which would you do?

Solo Entity?

Whatever takes your cake I suppose. I say if it's just you Solo Freelancer, but if you work with others Business Entity.

I would go with Business Entity, it would appear more professional and allow you to bring in other staff members (outsource coding etc). I would be more inclined to do business with a proper company than an individual anyday.

Thanks for the thoughts so far.

Robson I was thinking of putting on a business image, however I'm a bit iffy when it involves getting work outsourced. It tends to turn sour.

Business Entity.
I find that if you go for the more Business approach, you get more clients. I myself can get anyone clients, because I work at a fairly large design and gaming company. If you ever need anything, like an advertiser, or a client grabber, just hit me up on msn. I'm getting a new email so once I finish processing it I will reply back here with it.

Business entity, definitely.
You could always bring in a few developers and try to make yourself a bigger force

I've been thinking about this lately as well.. decided upon 2 websites actually. http://stenson.biz will be my personal portfolio, just a simple one page design with previews and links.

But I'm working on a business entity as well (http://visualesq.com), which will be exactly what others have been describing. I'll do most (if not all) of the design work, and outsource the coding and programming.

So you'd recommend a personal portfolio and a business website?
