The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I have only recently started using the forums here again, so I was too late to enter the logo competition by Turbonutter - Well done everyone (and congratulations Reaper!).
However, when I read through the thread, I realised what a strong community exists in these forums. Everyone grouped together for an interesting and enjoyable competition. People were praising others, and nobody was angry at the decision for the winner. Therefore I thought we should continue this idea, so we can all have a good time again.
Using the same idea, but a slightly different situation, this is my idea. I have read several threads where people have said they are professional web designers (a position I hold myself). One of the most difficult choices when becoming professional is the company name and slogan.
Therefore, I suggest a competition to find the best name and slogan for a small web design firm. There are no conditions for the name, though the slogan should not be more than 10 words max.
I will judge the competition at the end, and if I do win an FAD or GAD, I will donate this to the winner. The closing date for applications is Saturday 3rd November.
Good luck everyone!!

I'd like to learn some other tools, but its just the time factor. Some people have to go to college you know! :-D
The most Ive got payed for a website is £1500, but it was more of a long term project. Its a property website, that always needs updating, so I should get some more money for updating it aswell.
"David could you update a couple of pages please?"
"Of course, that will probably take me around 3 hours..... £20 an hour.... That will be £60 please"
"Anything you say David"
*Goes off and updates both pages in 10 minutes*
:-D

Actually, for £2.99 I can do your own URL (.co.uk/.org.uk/.org £6.99 for .com's/.bis/.tv etc) and host for 2 years. No banners, no ads and full remote server control.
I wouldn't call that expensive.

What I think he's trying to say is that Web Designing for you is more of a hobbie rather than a proffesion.
Im 17, still at college, and I design websites for companys.
I wouldnt call this a job, (although I am getting payed!)..... Its more of a part time thing, kinda like a Saturday job, that gets me enough money to get me through the weeks, without having to work in McDonalds like my mates have to!

And your a Professional Website Designer? mmmmm!! Something doesn't add up here? Shouldn't that have been "Professional bedroom based website designer for my friends without a blue chip client in sight"?
> if u mean web development, I would say i'm fairly good at it.
So that means your ASP, JSP, CFML, XML, XSLT, XHTML, JS, SQL, IIS etc is all up to scratch...
> ill post here when my site is up and when i've put one of the other sites i've done online (freeola was messing up last night). i'll try again
So you don't host your own then? Who do you use for Domain Registration and hosting? Are they all hosted at Freeola? Mmmm... professional... mmmmm...possibly not!!

Yeah, I gave Ali a bit of subtle prodding. Still, never mind.
