Hey everyone,
Just an update, I am currently helping about 13 people right now. I have come to a decision, effective Feb 1st I will only be able to do 2 websites per month. If I should say get the 2 done in 2 weeks and there is a few people waiting I'll go ahead and help out. And as always my services are free. As I have explained to some people on here, I am on disability. Some know why, others don't. So to get it out there, I am on disability for being Bipolar. There are days where I am wonderful, and there are days where my head just doesn't work. I was overwhelmed by the generosity people showed me on here to help me get back into
vaping. So to show my generosity I wanted to offer my services to as many people as I could. The problem is, it's been very very hard for me to remember who is who, and which website belongs to who. Many people (not all from this site) have loved their site. I work hard to please the people I help. One person (I won't say who unless he cares to say his own name) I even spent 4 hours on the phone just perfecting his logo. I try hard. But I have had (only 2) people (not from ECF or sites regarding ECF) comment that my site looked amateurish and I quote "a child did it". Again, these are not of any of the sites I have done for ECF, and not comment from ECF. Well, number one they may be amateurish. I am new to graphics and animations. And I thank some people on here (sbphotog) and a few others for helping me learn photoshop. But alas, I don't know how my sites are. I know I am my own worst critic. But I think, maybe some people would prefer a more professional designer. Albeit I am free, but I will list the sites I have spent the last month and a half on. You can look and decide if a free site from me is as good for you as a paid designers. Ultimately it is your choice.
The main reason I am limiting it to 2 customers, is I don't think I can handle more. Like I said I am on disability, and often think I'd like to get off it and work. This was also a test run for me. I made it
through but barely. (not that I am done yet) But it's been hard for me to try and keep everyone/thing organized. So 2 per month will allow my head to be clear, and be more personal with each person. Again, if I get finished earlier, I will be more than happy to help a 3rd or 4th. But can only promise 2.
I do appreciate the faith these fine people have placed in my hands for designing their sites, and I can only hope that they have continued success, and maybe, just maybe, once and a while get a comment on how good their site is.
So feel free to PM me, and see if I have an open spot that month, or where I stand at the waiting list.
Again, thank you all, and hope to chat everyone up on other threads.

Yeah, you'd have to limit the tasks you take on for your own sanity. And, your FREE clients certainly should want you to not grind out rushed junk.
