Hi, this is my first post here.

Me and a friend (both of us 16 years old) are attempting to start up a small web design business, aimed solely at small businesses with little knowledge of the itnerweb, but who want to get on it - just because it sounds good.

Correspondingly, we've made a simple but (hopefully) visually nice site and i'm just looking for some critique - it's not finished yet i'm afraid.

I know that Flash on a site aimed at people with little knowledge f the itnernet isn't great - we're rethinking it.

Thanks for any constructive and helpful critique

well done - nice little site there.

Cupla things - get rid of your ages and that. Will put people off for sure. Some people might want to give you a break but others will either not trust you or shit all over you.

Indent your body text a bit - 10px or so?

That's my starters.

thanks alot mate. We're just starting so that's exactly the sort of advice we need.

your link dont work from your profile - missing a letter i think.

You'll get a few hits from here as we are all nosey parkers.

yeh i think the problem is we havn't linked/done the page behind the link yet. We're lazy tbh. We started the site, then got a job with his dad's security company doing them a portfolio site for £200 (not bad for us 2 skinflints).

We best finish it before we buy real hosting, and get ourselves advertised etc.

no i mean the link that this forum adds to all your posts.

What 16 year old isn't lazy? It's your right.

Sixteen years old?? That is crazy. Your friend's dad's work should be honored to have you doing their web design...very, very nice.

I would vary the way the flash intros to each page come in...i think regular text on that nice red color would be just as effective. Beebolbod had it right with the margins, on both sides...

Nice nice nice, I'm envious! Good luck with your job!

lol thanks very much - lifted my spirits a bit, me and my mate are getting bored with the whole 'design company' thing already. But we'll try and stick at it.
