Hey guys,

I'm a 14 year old skateboarder who randomly came into the business scene this year. I wanted to sell personalized skateboards for cheaper than the average regular skateboard was sold, and so far I've achieved that.

You guys have helped me along, giving me tips and all that I need to know. I have a good product, which has developed a lot since I started. At first I'd just spray paint decks and hope for the best, now I've learned a lot.

Let me get at my problem. Right now, my website looks horrible. I'll just come up and admit that right now. It's http://personalizedskateboardshop.com if you want a good laugh. I made it on MS FrontPage.

Here's my huge favor to ask: Could anyone re-design my website for free? I'd need it on MS FrontPage, but I have little to no money. If not, could you point me to a pro who can do it for very very cheap?

Thanks so much guys, I'll be waiting for replies.

wow, that's a really novel idea. sry i cant help ya... but I have a few suggestions... if these are quality one of a kind boards, why are you selling em for only $30. I used to subscribe to CCS back in the day and I remember all of the mass produced world industries, etc. were $105 for a package. if i were you, i'd find the best board wood, the best paints, and sell them for like $60 ballpark. this is a one - of - a kind product, and should be marketed like it is. remember, people can buy a board at walmart for more than that... the buying public usually judges quality by price when they first look at something... just a few thoughts....

Hey Daniel! Great to hear that you business idea worked out for you and you are looking to take the next steps to become really successful. I would be willing to help you out with your website some if you wanted. Go ahead and contact me via email at admin[at]professionalgfx.net and we can talk some more.

Thanks,

I highly doubt anyone will redesign your site for free, but I would buy a website template, or download a free one. You can then customize that for your needs and add your own content.

Hit up templatemonster.com if you can afford the ~$50 price tag, search google if you want a free one.

Hey Daniel,

I am glad to here that you are doing so well. I would be glad to help out a fellow Hoosier. Where in Indiana are you located?

I may be able to give you a design for free, if we could work out other profitable arrangements. I am just getting my IT consultancy off of the ground, and a free design could go nicely as a reference piece.

There are a couple of stipulations that we would have to work out, but the first one would be no Frontpage. I do all of my work in standard text editors. I keep everything separated, and I also do a good job. I can show you the design for my site, so far, if you send me a PM. I am just working on content at this point, and will unveil it to the YE crowd, as a whole, when it is complete.

I wish I was doing this when I was 14.

That's pretty bad ass, Daniel. Keep up the good work.
