Hi, I'm New

Hey there everybody.

Quite a nice place this seems to be.. Community and hosting rolled into one, exactly what I was looking for.

In a mad rush this morning I was eager to find some reseller hosting as the VPS I had been using was coming off line at the end of the month. Sadly I didn't find UnitedHosting before I found WebFusion.

Finding how pathetically corrupt WebFusion are I have emailed their sales team an immediate cancellation and promptly signed up here for the basic reseller package.

Just waiting for my confirmation email to come through to start setting up all my sites again. Alas I have a few others spread around the internet not placed on reseller hosting.

A little about me

I'm a website designer currently employed in Maidstone, Kent by a small company but finding it a slight drag due to the lack of actual design Ive found I have in my role in the job there (think of it more as a glorified data entry person) as their main selling point is a CMS.

So I've begun actioning my pathway to freelance web design in my spare time for now, until I have a game plan, portfolio for a real studio, or enough business to become self employed.

Ive been playing around doing the websites here and there on and off since I was about 15, then did a BTEC in multimedia design a few years ago.

Anyway, enough of the essay introduction a few of my sites which are either in progress, or are completed but allow for client customisation by themselves in one way of another.

Kent Scoobies - May not be up as the hosting is on the VPS which is going down.

Dean Larkins - Mobile Mechanic

Ralph Crampton - Professional Racing Driver

Power-GT Imports & Performance

Well those are a few that I have off the top of my head, theres also a bunch of sites which I have to pump out at work, something in the area of 10 brand new sites a week, but due to the sites being on a CMS the clients also have the ability to ruin them.

All criticism welcomed, just glad to be here and hoping that webfusion cancel my order asap!

Nice functional sites, exactly what I like to see. It looks like you have yourself a nice niche (motorsport, cars, modication companies etc) which you should be able to get a LOT of business from. Well done.

Welcome to the forum! Still recovering from your note which says "10 sites a week" - that's' not webdesign but slave labour. Edith

Welcome. Must say I really do like the sites - crisp, clean and functional. I think I'll go with the Kent site with the Subaru logo as my favourite, Power GT a close second.
