A Common Standard
Fair and secure work relationships need a contract. Not having one is dangerous for both parties and can lead to misunderstandings, false expectations and ultimately lost time and money.

But starting new work by discussing worst case scenarios can be a tough way to kick things off. That’s why a standard is needed.

AND CO and The Freelancers Union have created a standardized service agreement to help strong, fair work relationships get off the ground quickly.

SVG is one of the most powerful tools in a front-end developer's arsenal, and while its browser support is excellent, there's enough rough edges that a lot of people consistently reach for an alternative such as icon fonts, static images or CSS-only drawing techniques.

The world is crowded with startups and almost all of them searching for a financial infusion from outside investors. It takes much more than a great idea and an impeccable work ethic to separate yourself from the pack and attract serious investors. You will likely only get one shot at your pitch and it is important that capitalize on that opportunity to maximize the chances that your startup will get the funding you need to get your company off the ground.
