I've been a web developer for 10 years and you definitely have potential. Your layout is very good, a few things are a little stretched but overall it is good for a first time go. You should have...
It looks pretty good, I'm in the middle of developing something like this for myself with Adobe Flex. Why did you ad google advertising to the application? You don't really state the type of license...
Are you learning HTML or CSS? I am looking to develop a website for Beginners to HTML and CSS and would like your ideas for articles and tutorials. So what sort of articles and tutorials...
Your work is very good mate. You certainly have not wasted any time. I have been developing websites for almost 9 years. I don't really design, but I do code alot. There are many areas of web...
I like Torchwood over Doctor Who at the moment but both are unique and definitely a good change from US Sci-Fi - although I am still watching Stargate Atlantis... bring back Star Trek Enterprise :)
Hey mate, definitely grab a book on PHP from Larry Ullman to get you started he is definitely gentle on programming beginners. I personally started with PHP for the World Wide Web by Larry Ullman.
Iwas just trying to download an MP3 (a parody song not a real one) and Firefox just crashed, the link was encoded so I needed it to go to the page to be able to get the file. So I opened up IE and...
Do you guys visit with the client? or work over the phone / email? If you interview the client, Do you wear a suit and do some sort of "pitch" routine? or do you wear what's comfortable and wing it?
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. You definitely need to buy some sort of book on business and computers. You should also think about taking computer classes. You could search for things...
Yeah clearly that's bad advice because what happens when that $500 job suddenly starts to run a really good business and turns into a $million dollar job in two years? He'll have no problem searching...
Successful businesses which want to stay around for decades charge by value not by time. Why? You can make more money charging by value than you ever will by time, unless you outsource to India or...
You are a typical developer (which isn't a bad thing) but I don't think you should handle the business side of things. Business is all about relationships and of course offering something...
You should never charge based around time. Charge what you can. What if a client want's an update that will take 15 minutes? Would you do it for free out of the kindness of your heart? What if 20...
You definitely need better hosting for starters, it can still be free but geocities are not at all good enough for ecommerce. Surely you have some webspace with your ISP? Even that would be better!

I don't have a credit card either but I use a visa debit card, maybe one of your banks offer them. They are cards you can use like a credit card. Mastercard and visa do them. Check it out :)
$500 bucks for a web site? Are you trying to put yourself out of business, go work for McDonalds, they pay more! - Don't sell yourself short, you are worth more :)
I looked at the source code and you should use external JavaScript and why do you have two head & title tags? One set is up the top the next is below most of the JavaScript...
It looks like a giant Google Adword... that's kind of a bad thing. There is no colour :( you should ad some blues maybe some green or orange. Just take a screenshot and edit it in PaintShop Pro or...
Very interesting question. I guess a smart way to approach it would be to find out more about how the business works. We should all know by now that...
It all depends on how close. If it is exactly a copy with only colour changes then yes it is illegal. It is still a fuzzy topic but there have been cases in America. I would strongly warn the client...
I use to use phpBB all the time and still like the software but it is a huge bot haven. Of course you could fix it yourself but the developers should do that. Now I use SimpleMachines Forum or SMF -...
