By the way, I love how shamelessly you plagiarize your content. Compare:

- http://www.ilentahand.com/faq.html and http://www.milliondollarhome page.com/faq.php

- "What are the benefits of a tutor?" on http://www.royaltutoring.ca/faqs.html and "Why get a tutor?" on http://www.learnon.ca/

It's also pretty incredible that you simultaneously purport to "provide the professional assistance most businesses could use to take their success to an entirely different level" (http://www.businessadvising. ca/) and claim, apparently in earnest, that "the 'hand' links on this website will result in increased local traffic to web pages."

Adrian, I'm going to offer you and your brother a reality check. Your web design skills and business acumen are both naught, and in three years of work you've succeeded only in writing that fact all over the internet in giant, indelible lettering for all of your prospective employers and friends to see.

I implore you to stop. Find something else. Get your lives back.

2. Who are you?
Our names are Nicholas and Adrian Paris. We live in Oakville, Ontario in Canada. Nicholas, 17, will be going off to McMaster University for his First year in Engineering. Nicholas plans to get into Computer Engineering 2nd year and eventually working for a big company. Adrian, 20, is entering his Third year in Political Science at York University. Adrian hopes to one day become a successful lawyer and help his community out.

Also, if you want to appear "genuine" and not a "joke" then I would strongly recommend not directly copying the FAQ from the highly publicized website that you stole your idea from.

A few things:
- I am not the Adrian in the story
- DON'T argue with people who's help/suggestions you just asked. They put time and effort into giving you a fair critique, like you asked. You just manage to sound unprofessional.
- I could do those websites with a WYSIWYG editor, with minimal web design experience/skill
- I AM IN THE MARKET for web design and I would NEVER waste money on you, I want a proper website, even if I do have to spend a bit, I would rather get something useful(people need to maintain websites/pay for hosting and it ain't that cheap)
- My best advice is get some experience with someone who knows how to do this or take some courses, or somehow gain the wisdom you obviously need, IT REALLY MATTERS
- Don't get discouraged, at least you started!!!
- I have a company too but until I can provide the best service, I am not open for business

My mistake, you are double first cousins.

The thing is, many of you say you "can" do it. Yes, im sure you can, anyone can, but realistically, how many people would bother spending time on it?

Appreciate the feedback

Services:
-crossing out a price and putting a new one to show some sort of deal is cheesy
-you don't need 3 'contact us now' buttons
-the 'review' should cite who that person is, otherwise its just an unsubtantiatable testimonial.. not really a good thing
-I'm assuming the picture of the site to the right is the one you designed for him? Why isn't there a link to it?

Portfolio:
-3 of the 6 of your works look like things that you directly own, or is a project of yorus... ?

Contact:
-Looks fine to me

General:
-WTF is asprart
-your fonts are a bit boring
-Might wanna colour the links down at the bottom (copywrite), they look like normal text, and they might be unnecessary since they're at the top
-Designs look a bit amateurish in general

Exactly, why would I waste my time making such bad sites? Why would I spend my money either?
