kinda ugly dev website for you to be asking for 200+ (even ranging from 1000-2000$), based off looks of website where it is atm, i highly doubt people would choose you over another, better set up, dev website.
Okay, first of all, thanks for your honest opinion. But I do not want to make it like "too much" it's not a dev site that I want to be filled with design etc. I want it to be clean and easy to get information.I know you can do something better than this, good luck!
What do you offer different to other website developers? Your website looks very clean and minimalistic but on it, all you have proved you can do is copy from bootstrap with the carousel and position text
I do not want this to get misinterpreted as hate it is just feedback, A developers site should be something that proves what they can do for the client
Thnaks for your feedback and I totally get your points. As thisw as the first website I done for myself I was just playing around abit, but I will re-make it and yes the slideshow is from bootstrap. I was just adding it today to see how it looked.Tbh, I don’t really find any ideal clause in the website and its pretty clean and straight to point. However if you want the a diverse to traffic or at least make people have brief look into it you gotta do some changes into it. Supposedly you can make the site a bit more eye-catchy. As for now you only have 1 x 1 page and that doesn’t taste like a developer stuff, what i’m trying to say is bring more tabs more creativity (theme is absolutely fine and doesn’t needs to be changed unless required).
This is just my 2-cents and I hope you get what i mean and wish you goodluck for the site.![]()
Okay, you are professional as hell. Is that what you want to hear lol. You have a company and telling people they are shit, I am teaching myself and doing as best as I can. I asked for feedback not a toxic 20 year old nerd that thinks he is cool bc he got a website up that prob someone else made for him.How old are you man? Just stop doing whatever you're doing right now. Ugly main website/portfolio = ugly websites in general; main developer websites represent experience and design skills, whereas yours doesn't. Take a look at mine, let it be your "example" website of some sort, if it looks too hard to you, then just get out of this kind of business as I don't know why some freelancers are below the age of 15 even. This is also my firm here in Croatia: https://web24.hr
Ye I am self-teaching might not be my best website but thanks for standing up for meYou are such a bad person, I bet most people on this forum started freelancing when they were around that age. Not everyone finishes their study first to start doing what they love. That's called self-taught skills.

Its not even about freelancing at this stage, maybe he is just doing this to overcome his idling. Everyone has abit into this, more or else we should never judge on someone’s first tryYou are such a bad person, I bet most people on this forum started freelancing when they were around that age.

Thanks, I am doing my best and still learning. Let the guy be lol, I couldn't care less about him.I disagree, there is no age for learning. If the guy has a interest in something you can’t actually try to trash upon him (this will actually leave a bad imapct on yourself as well). Yea, he did ask for opinions and suggestions but not for someone random coming and telling him to quit and degrading his work. He might be a beginner but at least he did something. More or less he won’t find work or clients but yea “First your learn, then take the l out”. No offenses mean but this is something I disliked reading :/

No problem mate, i really like the passion and interest you are showing in. Never ever let anyone else judgment make a halt to your workThanks, I am doing my best and still learning. Let the guy be lol, I couldn't care less about him.
I won't thanks!No problem mate, i really like the passion and interest you are showing in. Never ever let anyone else judgment make a halt to your work![]()

I will thanks for your feedback. I will totally remake the website and then post a new one here! Thanks everyoneFelixDev Don't worry about that guy who thinks he is a top-notch developer because he has a business in a poor country it's just his anger coming out from his circumstances keep learning and soon enough it will become habit

You cannot comment on peoples short nerves where all of your recent posts have been just constantly bashing this kid who is attempting to learn, If you started with this advice that would have been fine because it is feedback and since you state that he is young so often my guess is that you are over the age of 21 and so you should act like it. Remember you wanted to learn one day the same that he did so maybe instead of using the bad experiences you had back in the day from showing your work around Croatia use some positive reinforcement because not everyone has to live the same life as you.The fact is that everyone needs to practice and not just post something not even finished like so enthusiastic about your work when you haven't even compared it to any of the websites, compare its abilities, its design, its features, compare them overall, then come back here and post your final result, a final 5-months result not just 10% of the work.
I know you want to feel pumped and have some kind of positive energy going around you showing other people your current work, I've done that many times in Croatia, though people aren't interested in web services at all, and their mentality is kind of old, that's why I moved to Germany where web development can be my part time job (since I work from 8 am to 4 pm on websites), and may I ask really why would you charge hundreds of pounds for something that will look like your website? Not bashing you or anything just very very curious.
When I started back in 2012, I charged $20, sometimes even $40 for a website, no more than that because I just felt my experience wasn't there to compare to other developers or to even make something they do within the timeframe client has given me, start with less charges and price quotes and then go up as you practice and learn more stuff, hell I even learn stuff today even though I've been working non-stop on new kinds of websites, something new always comes out before you even get to learn the thing that got out a few months back (which would be considered new too).
Also since you aren't even 18 or whatever the mature age is over there where you live, you can literally be scammed and ditched as a web developer 24/7, without being able to take any legal actions against your client or even call e.g. PayPal support (if the payments are being processed through PayPal), as it may be your mom's PayPal account where you'll have to literally complicate everything just to try and get your money back or get the client to pay the invoice, been there hundreds of times, PayPal is shit but most people still use it.
It's just you aren't as competent as other web developers and you will suffer trying to fulfill clients wishes if your only ability and skill is writing paragraphs and aligning things. Because that's how you put it up on your main website, that's what clients will see, what you're good at. My honest suggestion is to practice on other websites, download a template or two and mess with the colors, mess with the things you'd like to change (firstly googling how to e.g. align my text to the middle), and so on, that would be a very good start rather than showing your short nerves from my first, four lines long paragraph.
Thanks for your feedback, and I really appreciate your words. I will take this with me and will continue to work and learn.I'm just going to sum up what I said on your last post, not good.
Yes you want it to be simple and yes you want it to show your information but at a professional level that's not only what people want to see. They want to see your taste in design and your skills. Basic bootstrap HTML sites show none of this. If you want to charge £200 for websites then show for it. Static HTML sites are a thing of the past now. I cannot express this enough but you NEED to do better.
Here's what I want you to do: mockups. Download figma or Adobe XD (if you don't already have) and start using your brain's creativity state. Think of interesting styles and layouts for your site. DO NOT HOLD BACK! Even if you don't have the skills to do something you want, do it anyway. Plenty of people can help you accomplish it but you just need to have a mindset of what you want. I don't want to see a basic site. Go above and beyond.
For example:
Azerith design I made: mockups | site
Yes it's a forums theme but that's not what I'm getting at. Look at the creativity and unique features no other website has (to my knowledge). Where have I seen someone do a user menu system for xenforo? No where but this beautiful site is where I got the idea. Why'd I do it? Why not. I wanted it to be different than the other sites.
Have that mindset. Be creative and different. Go above and beyond. Don't hold back because you might think you don't have the skills. You can learn how to do it later. Come back here when you have at least 2 different designs for a DYNAMIC website that WILL NOT use bootstrap or any other CSS frameworks. I'm going to get you off that road. You say you are experienced in HTML, CSS, and JS; then let's put it to the test. An experienced person can use what they know about CSS flex box or CSS Grid (I personally like CSS Grid) and JS to create something responsive and feature-rich like bootstrap but unique to you. Get at least 2 different mockups of something creative and unique and get feedback from those. Then dive into pain and suffering (let's be real, it's going to happen) to accomplish your chosen design.
Good luck!
