Hi Folks

 

I guess I'm a fledgling designer trying to find my way...

 

I'm here to learn so that soon I will be a true CyberWizard!!!!

Hello and welcome from Emma in Belfast

 

Hope you learn loads from the forum and teach others a few things they don't know

Hello and welcome to the madhouse.

 

just taken a look at your site and portfolio. How long have you been doing this?

 

So far you only have the one site, and im not really too keen on it, it seems abit bland, so i probably wouldnt pay £400 for it, Sorry.

Hi Reaper

 

The site you refer to was free for a local pool league I run.

 

I created the site with pool players in mind my aim was to cut down the admin I had to do (photocopying is boring lol) and give the players an up to date league table on a weekly basis without it being too complicated to work/navigate.

 

This was also my first attempt at web design some 9-10 months ago and as my first post states I am here to learn I never professed to be a guru!!!!

Hi Wizard,

 

Dont take my comments as nasty, they were not intended that way. Was merely trying to get some more information on your situation.

 

Have you got other sites that you can add to that portfolio, or have you considered the possibility of working alongside another developer to increase it? another problem you seem to have with that site (and it isnt your fault) is that it hasnt been updated in a while in the way of up and coming matches.

 

Again, dont take what i have said is nasty, i do not intend to be. Am trying to be helpful and constructive.

The only other complete site I have I didn't design I just coded it for a customer they designed the site in publisher (im not very happy with the design and it is as unsearchengine friendly as you can get but the customer wouldn't budge on it....)

I pick up coding very quickly I come from a PS2 software background however design wise i am a complete newbie and im finding it hard to learn (maybe design can't be learned) also when I did my own site I struggled writing the copy.

 

How do you guys go about writing the copy for your own sites??

 

Also I would happily work alongside any designers/developers to further my skills and portfolio.....

 

CyberWizard

I have to agree, that the design side can sometimes seem near impossible to learn. That is why i am always on the lookout for designers i can work with, but the main problem i find, si the smaller projects they still want £200 a go when the whole budget may only be £225.
