Yesterday I mentioned the lack of a professional web desingers guild in Davenport, or anywhere in the Quad Cities. A google search didn't yield much. The closest match I found was the Augustana Web Guild. This seems to be only for students and alumni though. Let me know if I'm wrong on Augustanas' membership policies.

   Basically, I'd like to start a non formal web design / computer related network or group for quad city developors.

Here's some quick benefits I can see to starting a Quad City web design network.
• Network with other web designers and local businesses.
• Establish a reputable network of computer related workers in the Davenport area.
• Help freelance internet contractors find opportunities.
• Offer free classes, cross training and seminars/lectures.
• Keep more business in the Davenport and Quad City area.
• Do charitable and non profit computer and internet work for those in need.
If you wish to join, know of an organization that I missed, or have questions/comments, please send me an email.

Here's some other web design related groups that have good web sites.
• Graphic Design Web Guild
• GAWDs
• Int. Web Design Association
• Long Island Web Designers
• Guild Of Web Design
These are just a few examples of good/decent examples of web design guilds or associations.

   That's it for today. Once again, please contact me (James Honts), with any comments. I can't wait to hear your ideas.
