What I'm Not

I spent the day working on my sister's website. I am often asked by friends and family to help them with various web projects. I enjoy doing this and it helps me gain a little more experience. The problem is that very few people understand what I can do and what I cannot do. As far as the website, I can rock out HTML, CSS, even some JavaScript. What I can't do is design. My poor sisters site looks terrible, she is happy with it so I didn't tell her otherwise. She just trusted me to design and build her website. She even tried to get me to write the content for her website. Heck it wasn't until I meet my friend Erin who taught me about color choices that I finally got a decent wardrobe that looked good on me and my house decorated how I wanted.

Anyways, I think all too often people just see that you can do one thing and then automatically assume you are a jack of all trades. In their defense it is just because you know more than they do about the subject.
