If you're going to ask for people's opinions on your work, I would try to keep the negativity in a list to zero. I'm relatively new to this list and the tirades that you've gone on have been childish at best. Doing that and then turning around and asking for useful feedback (if you're genuinely looking for it) is not going to yield much. Now that that's over.. I couldn't get to your oDesk profile, got an empty page. That *could* be caused by the dead zones that I'm hitting atm, but I gave up after a few tries. I then went to your website and here's what I can see from a glance. This isn't meant to be harsh or slag you personally, but learn what you're doing before you attempt to create a company to help others. If you *do* know what you're doing, use your site to showcase that. Nobody will hire someone with a business site like your current site: * You have a bloated, 50+MB gif serving your page contents. That's just bad for obvious reasons. * There's no DOCTYPE declaration in your HTML. * You have <div>s mixed in pre-<body> * You don't have a <head> container * You have embedded music. Not only is this a bad design choice from a UX perspective, but it's also causing the client to load more. * You have *no* SEO * You have commented out HTML * You don't have any design sense (not a personal attack, I don't have any either). My suggestions: * Take courses (free or paid) on web development. Udacity has a few good ones. * Apply your learnings to your site. Showcase what you can do and what you know and what you can do. * Look for a designer partner, someone who can make your work visually appealing. The visuals are the first impression (after initial load times). Now having said all of that, if this is a troll, I feel rather foolish.

I've spet a lot of time alone working on things I like, and just wanted to have some good critics come in without the bs that can go on, and sometimes I sling a little mud at awhat seems to be a personal attack. > > means giving the benefit of doubt and seems to me to be good policy > (withing reasonable limits) > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- Best Regards, David Hutto CEO: http://www.hitwebdevelopment.com
