Websites

[stmsoccer]

Hey guys, as many of you know, I was the founder and web designer of what is now known as Trainz Forge. I know that many people are starting 3rd party websites now and that many people have no idea how to do codes and java scripts. I am offering to be able to design websites for anyone who is in need.
There will be a small fee but understand that it is a good amount of time that I put into blending pictures and scripts to work flawlessly together to appear as one design. A little about my background, I am a design major and study architecture, art and graphic design, so I am very attuned to making everything look as one composition. I will be offering 2 different services,
1. The design of your website custom to you and that is it. I will take whatever logos and images you give me and build it around your ideas. $28
2 . The website design will be accompanied by a design of a logo and concept for your team. I will be able to design you a logo you are happy with and create you a brand. $35
Please if you have interest email me at josh.helzlsouer@Comcast.net
Hopefully if all goes well I will be doing this for awhile.
Thanks in advance
Josh (stmsoccer)
Trainz Forge

Based on what a regular designer / programmer costs, this is a great deal.
Based on what even a junior designer / programmer costs, this is still a great deal.

Just to put things in perspective: I am training designers / programmers as my day job and my company would charge you $600/day/person to join my class (and no, that is not even close to what ends on my bank account) and a consultant would cost around $1200/day. I am sure some companies do it for a lot less, but nowhere close to $35.

So... All those people who just started a website and want a nice deal: go go ;-)
Those 3rd party content creators might want to consider first making content first though (also before announcing it).

O... And before someone asks... No, I am in no way related to stmsoccer. I simply wanted to comment that he is offering an interesting deal.


@ stmsoccer,

You might want to fix a minor thing to your website though... When I click on "routes" and in the new page that loads click on "Patriot River Lines", I get a huge black gap and have to scroll down before I see actual content. You might want to fix that; people who have a smaller screen than I do might just think that page has no content yet. I am using IE11.
Another thing... If I scroll all the way down, the website scrolls up a tiny bit. No biggy; just annoying.

Yup, extremely cheap. Last website I built for a client they paid close to 5 digits and I'm by no means a good web designer - I barely scrape in the competent pool.

When I click on "routes" and in the new page that loads click on "Patriot River Lines", I get a huge black gap and have to scroll down before I see actual content.

Just needs the following added to a page specific style sheet:

[FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#888888][COLOR=#222222].tall-header-page .wsite-header[/COLOR][/COLOR] {display:none;}
[/FONT]

Another thing... If I scroll all the way down, the website scrolls up a tiny bit. No biggy; just annoying.

I'm not getting that on Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.

I guess I will just add that one to the "I blame Microsoft" list :hehe:.

Either that or the CSS is specified as "webkit-xxx" on whatever function is causing it not covering IE. Most of the time I find when it "bumps" the page it's a scroll point animation. Like a button sliding in when you get to a scroll point. I'm not about to go digging for something not obvious.

thanks guys, it's actually because the image hasn't been put in, we were missing an updated photo and just haven't got around to it yet. In all seriousness though, I am doing this because I have found that I am able to think design situations like this through, and being in college I could always use the extra cash. It also helps with my new dog. However if anyone has any questions, feel free to email me or PM me, I check both and will be happy to answer, give me at least 24 hours to respond, I have a lot of work on a daily basis.
