It's great that you are looking for an expert. Your site could use a clearer message, but you probably should clean up your site a bit if you want to attract real talent. In particular, the site is much too wide, requiring many viewers to scroll.

I'm not putting your site down, I just wanted to give you feedback because I was attracted to your offer until I saw your site.

Here, here!

Deleting your childish posts and then claiming that you only ever made the one - now that speaks volumes!

The comment about sites needing to be fixed-width because of companies strict brand guidelines was a fair one, but it also needs the web designer to educate the customer on the advantages/disadvantages of such a move.

I personally work at a res of 1152x864, but I still got a horizontal scroll bar as I don't run applications maximised. Looking at the site I don't see any reason why it couldn't be made to fit 800x600 quite comfortably and scale with browser size.

You just don't get it, do you? People try and offer you advice and all you can do is make accusations!

So I'm a troll, am I? No need for the link - I know exactly what a troll is. Take a look through all of my posts on here - nothing but sound advice! That's what this forum is all about.

I say it's you that's the troll. Your post was ambiguous, to say the least, and all you've done is cause trouble when people have tried to help. Now that's trolling

And we all know the best way to deal with a troll - you just ignore them! I think this post says enough now. Perhaps it's time to let it sleep before this excellent forum gets its first resident troll.

Folks - I urge you not to reply to this thread now.

I do have to admit that the list of websites that was posted by xfernal, IMO, is actually quite well done. I also think that the graphics are excellent as well.

SsZero: I find your comments insulting to other members and, if YE was my website, you would be banned instantly and permanently. The others that replied to this thread were simply trying to help you out by offering you creative criticism. In addition, I just had a look at your website and your 'client showcase' which 'says' you did work for KaZaA. Hate to be the one to point this out to you, but KaZaA is a product by Sharman Networks Ltd. and not its own company... not to mention the fact that I highly doubt (based on your comments in this forum) the truthfullness of your website. I suspect that you are, as others have suggested, a 12 year old kid, in which case, your company being a corporation is invalid due to the fact that in order for it to be legal, you must be 18 years of age or older. I wonder what would happen to your business if someone sent a link to this forum to all your 'clients' (and maybe I should dig in a little deeper and verify all your 'clients'

Any sane potential client of yours that saw this and the way you treat others on this forum would probably be very turned off and you would end up losing that client.

Sorry to rant on a bit about this (everyone else), but, some people are freelance because they don't have the time to work full-time in that field. I'm pretty much what you would call 'freelance' because I'm attending college right now, full-time and my studies are taking most of my time.

Anyways, to summarize, you should treat EVERYONE with respect... especially in business. Not only is it right, it can lead to either getting new clients or losing new clients (think about it: If you were respectful and not posting mean messages on this forum, the others may have recommended you to some of their colleagues who were looking for websites. Since you weren't respectful and attacked anyone who tried to HELP you, they're likely (myself included) to tell anyone they meet not to do business with you, as xfernal already has.

Sounds like someone needs a lesson in business ethics!

(Again, sorry to all other YE members about my huge rant on this. I just find it degrading to the industry when individuals attack fellow entrepreneurs.)

After doing a little more digging while waiting for replies from Zero's 'clients', I checked Pennsylvania state records for holoMaXx.

Here are the results I got:

There is a ficticious name 'holoMaXx Technologies' located in Philadelphia, PA (which this 'company' is located at), however there is a 'Holomaxx Technologies Corporation' located in Harrisburg, PA.

It appears that this individual is using someone else's business corporation name to conduct business, which is illegal!

Sources of Information:

holoMaXx Technologies:

HoloMaxx Technologies Corporation:

Congratulations SsZero, in a single post you proved Xfernal right, you lost all business credibility, and you made yourself look like a complete idiot! I can only imagine what other crap you posted that was so stupid that you decided to delete it yourself.

According to the HTTP Headers, you DID follow the advice of webconnoisseur and xfernal and fix your scrolling problems. After looking at xfernal's pages and comparing them to yours, I laugh at your post. You SHOULD hire xfernal to redesign your website as it looks like something my kid sister designed.

As the President and Chief Executive Officer (does SsZero even know what those are??), I know what I'm doing first thing tomorrow morning....

Plaintiff: Cremto Inc.
Defendant: SsZero

Followed by ANOTHER lawsuit filing...
Plaintiff: Matt Dean
Defendant: SsZero (yet again!)

for libel (printed slander) and deflamation of character.

Maybe xfernal and myself should team up and sue you to oblivion.

I have already left a message for my lawyers to contact me tomorrow morning (Monday) as soon as they can.

SsZero: we all have an image to maintain

He's one to talk... he's the whole cause of this, with his unprofessional libel against others of this forum.

To Xfernal: Thanks for recording and posting SsZero's comments before he deleted them. Since SsZero seems to be a coward, only posting his messages for a short period of time then removing them, this is much appreciated.

To SsZero: Since your 'title' underneath your name on this forum is 'Satisfaction Guaranteed', but your name is 'SsZERO'... one has to wonder.

I still smell a troll. Just leave him be guys - he'll go away.

This thread has made me laugh quite a lot though!
