I'll let you know how it went..

Hey, okay, I finally decided I need to get some clients, so I paid $76 to run a classified in two local newspapers for 2 weeks. Here is what I put:

Experienced Web Designer looking for work. Call 754-9690 or visit www.101h.com/tyler/

I let you know if I get any phone calls, or, heaven forbid, an actual paying client.

Well good luck, I hope you find some work. I love your flash intro but it took ages to load. It took 3 and a half minutes just to get to the 'loading' screen. No prospective clients are likely to wait that long, and it doesn't give a good impression, no matter how great it is when it finally loads.

What?

I've viwed it three times and every time it's loaded quickly. :confused:

Oh, I'm at work accessing it over a LAN. It does tend to be slower here than at home, maybe I just picked the wrong moment to view it.

If you didn't have a problem Dave, I'm sure it is fine.

*Modulus is hurt by Goldi's remarks.... goes into Windows explorer to check the size of intro...it's 109 KB*

[Goldilocks]

Modulus, please don't be hurt! :(

Dave may be right, it might be just fine. Sometimes things can be extremely slow when I access the Internet from work. Now I think of it, I didn't have any trouble loading it when you put it up for review, so don't panick just yet!

Im not sure about this yet Modolus but maybe we could partner up. We could give discounts to clients that signup through my hosting service and this would promote you greatly. Im not sure about this yet, I would really have to think, but your flash skills are great, something that I alone can not offer to customers.
Thanks,
Paul

Oops didn't know that. Oh well, guess I have to find someone else that knows flash.
Thanks,
Paul

Oh is that what you wanted.. a flash person? Well I don't know flash worth squat.. so I guess I couldn't of helped anyhow.. sorry.. I made that site in flash in 2 days, and had to look up how to do each effect.. as you can see they are quite simple.

[Modulus]

Hmm... I decided to take your advice and put up a profile section on my site. However I'm not sure if I'll add their movies... it would simply be hell to maintain!!

[Paul]

That's great, do you have a URL to this. If you want I could provide a gallery for you, I would however need to write a script that would grab this stuff from my site and put it on your.
Thanks,
Paul
