Not true, I am making it low cost to encourage people, my going rate is.

homepage/Intro-page = €10
Additinol Pages = €5

This is because I am a student.

I think this might breach the charter...

youssef if you are serious you'll need to get an online portfolio up so people can see samples of your work. - just do a whizbang flash thing or some such to illustrate your skill at least.

Guys,

He has another thread in this forum where he has been unable to upload a file or attach a file.

I'd beware...

This is the main part of the web-page.

The problem is not with boards.

Already I'm put off your services... even for free.

I'd rethink your advertising method in the future! It's not working...

Sorry about that mix-up with the uploading, I know it seemed very unprofessinal.

If you would please download zip file, It is the site in it's whole.

[-Download Now-]

Step 1: Download
Step 2: Un-Zip
Step 3: Start by opening Index.htm, and enjoy...

I apologize about the mix-up earlier.

Thank you.

that's pretty basic stuff youssef, and it didn't load correctly in firefox for me, had to view the swf files seperately.

I recommend putting up a web site showing off some more advanced/interesting/cool stuff.

Yeah ok, But the guys who have made those sites have gone thru years of courses, collages, and other web-design/Graphic design related courses.

While on the other hand I am only 16 and have not done one course or anything with web-design, thought my self. :dunno:

So, thats the difference

You certainly wouldn't inspire any confidence in me to take up your service. How come you are offering your services for free on another thread, yet wanting to charge on this one?

the zip file is 2.06Mb
the website is 4.3Mb
Are people going to have to download a 3.1Mb swf file before the see anything? What If I don't want to see flash?
Main site is in a pop-up window???? - I shut it down as soon as it opened
This is dreadful!

youssef if you want to be a designer you're going to encounter a LOT of criticism, and if you can't handle the criticism you've received here it doesn't really bode well for becoming a professional web designer.
I haven't downloaded your site because frankly it's fscking ENORMOUS.

youssef, I was careful to at least to be constructive with my previous posts, I figured I'd give you a chance because you're doing exactly what I did when I was younger, i'd never have posted on a board in the way you have though, I just learned learned learned all by myself.

However, now that you're being abusive, thats it. I'd recommend a permanent banning for you. You post on a public message board where the people that post *make their livings* from this stuff.

Have a bit of respect newbie. It's evident from your other threads and posts that you think **** all of this web site and its users, therefore I suggest you leave us alone and don't visit the site again.

Firstly, 99% of it is done in flash. Very basic flash, at that. I know you were going for the monochrome look, but you made it look far, far too basic.

Secondly, I had to load everything in IE. If its not firefox friendly, its not worth looking at.

Thirdly, you cant accept critisizm. People who want to make websites for a living cant go around saying "**** you(or even worse, Fu(k you) Im 16" when someone says their work is bilge. Its going to happen. Quite often too.

My advice to you is to get a book on PHP, and get a copy of photoshop. Flash webmasters dont get very far in this game.

And tell me, why do you get two threads on the same subject?

Also, I only noticed that now, 3.1mb files for 56k, with that quality?
...no.

I never knew a charter could be so useful tbh.
