Ockham Design

About the Site

Ockham Design is currently designed to be a help guide for the people in my business network.

Short History

Ockham Design is a business networking tool that I use to meet people and exchange expertise.

This site is version 2.1

I launched version 1.0 in 1998. At that time, Ockham Design was basic portfolio site to showcase my work for potential employers.

For the next 5 years, I only updated this site when I was looking for new employment. Around 2002, I moved into programming and decied to let the site lapse indefinitely without updates.

It wasn't until 2008, I decided to revive Ockham Design in a new incarnation.

Version 2

I created Ockham Design version 2 to test ideas I've been mulling over.

I've been thinking about passive income. I've been thinking about service vs product businesses.

I've been thinking about the methodology for measuring results for small businesses and systemizing my process to improve results once a site is finished.

Version 2 is my test bed to implement my ideas and measure results.

My goals

My goal is to monetize various websites by duplicating methodology that's worked successfully for others. This is my 30 Sites Project.

I want to figure out what still works and what's no longer viable. I don't plan to re-invent the wheel. I'm going to do what others did and blog about it.

The focus of the Ockham Design web site will be my 30 Sites Project which will document the success and failures of creating sites that produce income.
