Hello,

I might be interested. I have some questions first:
-can you redesign an existing website?
-if so, are there any restrictions to technology used? For example, can you redesign an ASP.NET website?

Hello,

No limititions really. If you have your site as a photoshop file format it would make life easier, on the other hand if you dont we can simply Mask your current website design to make it look similar if that makes sense, So yea - We can redesign.

As for ASP.NET, We'll see what you need doing first of all

I don't understand... how can you be doing it for free? Are you that desperate and insecure about yourself that you feel the need to work for free?

Why not make your own portfolio? Why work for other people for free to build a portfolio? It makes no sense...

First off... it makes your service worthless... if somebody wanted a free site they could just go to blogger and I would think it would be the better choice too since a worthless service is probably a very unreliable one...

maybe I have misunderstood your post and if I have I apologize and I would appreciate you explaining how you plan to run a business without collecting any money?

Hi There,

Not really a problem pal. I'm simply offering free website design as i like to have a name / content etc. How can i explain, Most website designers you visit have examples of what they can do, they all have Yourompanyname.com etc as a logo and the content simply says 'text text text text' or something along those lines,

Take for example, just recently done one for a local computer repair company, they told me what they wanted to have, i did it for them - It's like a learning curve, if someone tells me what they want i can create it for them,

I guess the point of this post is for me to say i cant get the ideas from the top of my head, only in time and experience i would be able to do that.

If im building a portfolio, why not let someone take advantage and get a free website out of it,

Thanks for replying

Mike.

And also to quote, It's for a short time only. And why unreliable? Someone wants a site done, it's done within a day or two, you can only really state unreliable if you have evidence of it not been

Hey... if you want to work for free... go right ahead...

Why don't you go and get a job and work for free... I think plenty of businesses would love to have you work for them for free...

Just think of all that time you could spend building your own website to attract paying clients...

Honestly... your only going to get better at business if you charge for your work... and you are only going to find good clients if you learn to stand up for yourself and charge for your work... don't be afraid to charge for your work...

NO!SPEC

I mean... do you see me applying to MacDonalds and working for free so I can build a better portfolio of well built burgers? Your only asking for people to come along and abuse you... and it will keep you from running your business...

Conversation is going nowhere, it's an offer for one weeks service for free. There isnt no argument although you obviously think there is one.

I'm not arguing with you... I am simply expressing my opinion towards you leading a staff of people into spec work.

And anybody else who reads this forum might benefit from my opinions.

If your working for somebody else. You should charge them. Otherwise your doing yourself... your staff... and the profession as a whole a great injustice...

If you want to build your portfolio and learn... why not get an apprenticeship at an established production house?
