Great site

[junior]

hi my name is junior, and ive invented this new idea that is bound to make you money, please check it out at http://www.freewebs.com/laazymoney

[Coding Monkey]

Just as a fastidious point, you should check the spelling

[mumper]

Hi Junior, welcome to the forums. Interesting idea but I have one for you.
Instead of me paying three pounds to you - you pay me to correct the copy on your website.

[Coding Monkey]

....and Matrixx to host your website on a proper domain name.

[junior]

i spelt lazy like that on purpose to give it a better effect

[Coding Monkey]

"to cut sraight to the point"

[junior]

why u so evil mac whatever, im just a beginner u know

[Jayne]

Hi junior,

Welcome to the forum :D

But may I suggest removing the pole, UKBF is fantastic, which sod said it wasn't :twisted:

Jayne

[mumper]

Junior, Mac's right - if you want to earn money through your website it has to be right. It's important that you present a professional image if you want to be taken seriously and that includes the quality of the whole site. On this forum you'll find that the critics tell it like it is.

[Coding Monkey]

I was telling you that you spelt something wrong. You disagreed, I showed you.

Is that evil? You came here asking for feedback. I told you that there was a spelling mistake on your website.

[junior]

if i may ask what's UKBF

[mumper]

Eh?

[Urban Space]

Yea Mac, lay off the newb! :D!

Junior, what I don't get is how any of us have any guarantee that you'll send money back our way...? You could just run off with £3 of our hard earned cash!

Liam

[junior]

ok, im sorry mac, im just fusrated, can someone pleaseeeeeeee, i mean 'please' give me some advice, and urban space y would i run off with just a measly £3 when i can make 100's of pounds

[Urban Space]

UKBF - United Kingdom Business Forums.

Liam

[mumper]

Are you ready? - Are you really ready? :D

[Jayne]

if i may ask what's UKBF

Lol..got mixed up, thought the poll was to ask if this site was good. You are on the UKBF (UK Business Forum)..So the Yes in the poll was from me, please delete it :lol:

It's for you site isn't it.

Jayne

[mumper]

Aw bless - Jayne's tired:-)

[Urban Space]

I could have a look over your site if you'd like? Re-write it to make it sound more professional? For a fee of course :D! I did exactly the same to Darren's site and he was very impressed :lol:

PM me if you'd like to discuss it further!

And make sure you don't take their criticisms to heart like I did :lol: Don't threaten to storm off the site and then blame it on hormones!

Liam :lol:

[junior]

so jayne u think the sites rubbish

[Jayne]

I haven't looked yet..I didn't want to muck up your poll thats all :lol:

Sorry

Jayne

[junior]

its ok jayne, i was just asking by the way, but can you please take a look if possible

[junior]

please can i have some advice

[Jayne]

Hi,

I've had a look...It's a very plain site and the bit about not trusting you at the top, makes me not trust at all.

You know what they say, never trust someone who says trust me...I think you should re-think the text. It really sounds like a scam..sorry, but that my honest none techy opinion. I'm sure it's not a scam, but it reads that way.

Jayne :D

[Urban Space]

Get a proper domain instead of a Freewebs extension! And try looking into other methods of payment other than PayPal. Not everyone can use PayPal!

Liam

[junior]

ok, thanx for the advice

[Urban Space]

Can I ask, are you English Junior?

Liam

[Jayne]

And how old are you Junior :D

Liam

i dont have alot of money, but if you know a professional website builder that's free, please tell me

[Coding Monkey]

Yep, the counter, "website built and hosted for free...." and general lack of proper domain name don't help with your credibility. Everyone has a budget, so look toward what you would consider the most important issue: design or content.

[junior]

Can I ask, are you English Junior?

Liam
i spelt thanx like that on purpose.
but from now on im going to start talking formal english

[Jayne]

There's loads on here who would help you, tell us a bit more about yourself in the introduction and people can get to know you better. Once they see you are ok, they will help :D

There's lots of nice people on here and then there's Liam :lol:

Just kidding Liam

Jayne :D

[Urban Space]

No, don't take that offensively! It was just a question. There's something to the way you write that doesn't quite click! A certain 'je ne sais quoi!'

Liam

[junior]

Please does anybody know a free professional website builder, if so please mention it.

[Urban Space]

Atspace have been great to me! They don't however build the website, they just host it! Heads-up Junior, one PM coming your way!

Liam

[Coding Monkey]

Free and professional don't really go together.

See if this is of any use (http://www.acidsoft.hit.bg/downloads.htm)

[Jayne]

I don't know one Junior, sometimes it takes a few days for everyone to see the posts. Be patient, someone will know one. :D

Jayne

[Urban Space]

Free and professional don't really go together.

True - you get what you pay for!

Junior, take a look at the PM I've just sent your way. There's nothing wrong with the website layout, as such, I suppose it could look a lot more professional! Have a chat with me and I'll see what I can do for you.

Liam

[fastfences]

Hi Junior, and welcome.
I think you'll find that what you're doing is actually illegal. It's known as soliciting money, which is tantamount to begging. You are asking for money, but not providing anything in return. Certainly you may respond that you're giving them 3 pounds, but that's not exactly correct, is it?

Best you do some research,
Cheers, Nigel

[Urban Space]

Knew something wasn't quite right! And what makes it worse, if someone did want to participate they can't! When you click on the paypal link on your site, you get

'Sorry, this FreeWebs account is still provisional and forms are not permitted. Freewebs accounts are provisional for the first 7 days'

Now what does that tell us? You've not even been in business for a week, you're breaking the law and you're using FreeWebs as a platform to launch your own success, which, is against FreeWebs Terms and Conditions.

Busted!

Liam

[junior]

uh.

You got it all wrong mate, I'm not giving them £3, they'tr giving me £3, and I pay them to refer people to pay me.
And each time they refer someone to pay me they get £2.

[junior]

Can someone please give me some advice

[bwglaw]

As a Business Mentor for the Prince Trust I have a lot of respect for those young ones who wish to set themselves up in business. I also give credit where due. Also, my job as a lawyer is to be blunt with the truth when advising a client. You are not my client but I will give you free advice.

First, I would like to say the website design is good. If you designed this then I do encourage you to consider training up to a career in web design.

Now the hard stuff. The legal issues. As I was reading the first few posts no-one has mentioned what I wanted to mention until I came across to Fastfences post.

Yes, your site is indeed illegal. What you are 'offering' can be construed as gambling and quite possibly a lottery. Unless you have a licence to do this I strongly advise you to close down your website before the authorities find it and issue you a severe fine, if not a summons to the Magistrates.

Sorry to give you the hard stuff but I am sure you will appreciate to hear it from me rather than the authorities. I also hope you find my comment about your web design encouraging and I wish you well in your venture and good luck with whatever you do.

[junior]

Thanks, Jono

[Jayne]

Oh Jonathan, that sounds snazzy and trendy..think i'll call you Jono from now on :lol:

Jayne

[bwglaw]

Anyone who calls me 'Jono' from now on will have a lawsuit on their hands! ;)

I will seek damages for injury to my feelings, including but not limited to medical treatment, damage to reputation, and the like!

Hee hee :P

[Jayne]

What about Jon or Jonny are they liable :lol:

Jayne

[fastfences]

Far better to be 'Jonno' than 'Jon-boy'! Remember The Waltons? :roll:
Cheers, Nigel

[Jayne]

No I think that's got quite a ring to it...Jon-boy, sounds like a boy band member :lol:

Jayne

[bwglaw]

All other names except Jon, Jonathan are liable to damages!

Family tend to call me Jon, whereas others call me Jonathan. I cringe when someone spells my name as John... so...erm...common :P - yes Im a snobby git!

[Jayne]

Ok then Jon no way i'll call you that again :lol:
