HELP WITH WEBSIDE


Hello I am looking for someone to build me a side like this one if you can do this please don’t respond

http://www.rchobby-tron.com/starmax-rc-jets.html

 

You heard the man. If you are capable of building a craptacular website, don’t respond to him!

Thanks, Justin!

    I can’t build a website of any kind, at all. Does that mean I should forego electronic communication, and just show up on his doorstep?*

    *I’ll offer cheap access to an explanation of side vs. site and an opportunity to escape my sarcasm.

    Ok, I didn’t respond so now I’m waiting for Sparky to contact me. Or does he also not contact me, if he wants me to create a crappy website for him? Judging from the site and the code my mom could probably do this with Frontpage. Maybe she shouldn’t respond either.

      He’s getting a lot of silence on his end; it will take him a while to sort through the large stack of people who didn’t respond. Most likely it’ll be a while before he picks somebody out and doesn’t respond to them, so it’s a waiting game at this point.

      I’m hoping he picks me, as I’m pretty sure I was one of the first to not respond.

        He already has not responded to me and we have not had a long discussion through chat and email about how I will not design his site.

      They fall madly in love until both realize that they are overweight 50 year old male insurance salesmen that work in the same office.
