Your site & examples look great. Loaded fast too.

Just picking your brain here...and I am currently shopping for web development bids.

How do you feel about Secure eCommerce on say an inventory of about 120 products including eBooks? eCommerce software on this one is a mystery at present; looked at Miva, Host has some software utilities, but anything picked needs to be compatible with a potential custom Warehouse Management System (read fancy smancy Inventory/Order Processing software).

If a guy wanted maybe five to seven sites of varying complexity built, no typing, pix, or adminstration needed (provided by client), would that earn a "bulk rate?" If a couple of those sites were on a tight deadline how would that hit the mint?

Hmmmm....

I'd stick to requesting illustration jobs, given a brief investigation of the site design:

* <body bgcolor="#000000" text="#003333" - There's text at the top of each page--can you read it? I can't.

* <font color="#000000"><font color="#003333" size="4">WEBDESIGN:</font></font> - Turn the font black... then dark, DARK blue... why? Black on black is, admittedly, hard to read; but DARK blue on black is no better (see above) and besides, the font is already DARK blue from the body tag. Maybe that's something Dreamweaver does to be exhaustively compatible with those 5 users on the planet whose browsers don't accept TEXT attribute in a BODY tag. Meanwhile, that's a page heading without an H tag--very non-standard.

I am sure someone will consider me a villain for critiquing an offering in Connections. But even with "flexible rates," one should know when one is considering a web designer who might make a bloated, non-standard site for you (never mind aesthetic decisions, which I hope would be up to the client).

Caveat emptor;

I was actually in the techy industry for a while, and now rue the choice to never really apply myself to Weby Tech modalities.

1303, "base or low-born rustic," from Anglo-Fr. and O.Fr. villain, from M.L. villanus "farmhand," from L. villa "country house" (see villa).

Meaning "character in a novel, play, etc. whose evil motives or actions help drive the plot" is from 1822. Villainous is recorded from c.1300, from O.Fr. vileneus; villainy (c.1225) is from O.Fr. vilanie.^{1Quote from: David Artman}
