Thought I would put myself out there, since everyone else seems to be. :)

My site is Graphics-by-Sara (http://www.graphics-by-sara.com) and I have over 10 years experience doing web pages, html and graphics.

Email or PM me if you need a reliable graphics design artist/web designer. Oh, and I do web maintenance as well.

Um... is the web even 10 years old?? That's even pre-Windows95. Wow! :)

Read her post again.
It matters. 'and' means ALSO. Which means ALL THREE for 10 years.

Hope you don't mind the debate :) We're just bumping your thread!

Symantics, its a total of 10 years combining those three things.

She could have smoked crack in that time also, she is just highlighting some skills, those being the 3 highlights, in the ten year period.

Bumping: yea she deserves it though, she has a large body of work.

:) Thanks guys. *LOL* @ smoking crack.

If you read the resume, you will see what I have been doing. ;)

I have worked with graphics since 1992, which makes it 10 years for that and HTML since 1993. I still shudder at my first homepage on AOL. No offense to the AOL users out there, but I was soooooo happy to have a dial-up vs. using AOL. To this day I still wonder, what would have happened to AOL if I hadn't been one of the first to use it successfully? GeoCities housed the rest of our pages until we finally bought our domains.

And yes, there was such a thing as the internet! Microsoft wasn't even on the 'net till 1993. You can read more about that here: History of Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/misc/features/features_flshbk.htm) Hubby taught me the fine basics of DOS. :) Yup, the pre-Windows era.

Thanks for the debate, it will make me chuckle all day~

hmm... all your sites are pretty simple. i'd build up a solid portfolio of sites that are of proffesional quality before i start asking for work

Thanks for your opinion. Hm, do you have a portfolio? Would love to get an idea of a professional one.

Blackdog, that's a bit unfair and a very bad example. 2advanced is one of the better design COMPANIES on the net. There is no way she could achieve that.

Hi, Sara.. I would suggest if you change your Navigation alittle bit, it took me awhile to finally get it all right ;)

Lord Michel,

You had a problem finding all the pages? I just redid the navigation on that site. What could I improve?

Thanks,

Sara

Hi,
Its much better now, BUT.

Look at the butterfly, and then look at the shadow of the butterfly.

And the Simply Sara could use a texture?

Oh, you are talking about the Simply Sara site. Silly me. I thought you were talking about my graphics site. :)

www.graphics-by-sara.com is the site for my business.

Thank you for your replies and/or critiques. This thread was started because I want to find a free-lance job doing web graphics, templates or sites.

Please respond if you have a job offer.

Thanks,

Sara
