After giving it some thought, you're right.

Do you know what steps I need to take in order to sell domain names? Where do you go to apply? (I'll google this as well; maybe you know something I don't though).

You're right, I am pretty young. But I'm surprised you could tell that by my web design; bravo! Addressing your first point: would you suggest a domain name change?

The yellow 'Free' texts do come off a little.. slimey.. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

I'll definitely be changing the title to something that sounds a little more solution-like.

I appreciate your feedback. If you think of anything else, please let me know!

You're absolutely right. I have more housekeeping and icon editing to do. I'll never be able to restructure the URLs, though.

I'd like to ask for your advice on your second point, though. What would be a positive way to spin this? Because I am absolutely competing directly with them. What would you do to make that situation positive?

onetimeusename,

Great questions. It's called 'PoorlyProgrammed.com' with the intention of irony. The slogan is: "Not just another poorly programmed website".

I don't have an acceptable usage policy anywhere YET. But you make a solid point: I should make that a priority.

The platform used to create this is wordpress. I did my best to hide that fact because I feel that alerting people to the fact that it's wordpress would just make people roll their eyes and click away. It has that connotation; the "oh, that's for noobs" feeling.

Thanks for your feedback!:)
