Ok, ellie's arguments are formally right. Don't expect too many customers now 
But your site shows a part of your personality. It's very authentic. Something you won't find on technically perfect, expensive but soulless corporate sites or in some fancy mee-too blogs.
I think you're on the right path. Keep learning and working. One can buy a professional web designer but not authencity and heart. The people will feel the difference.
Good luck! |
Thanks a lot! It's pretty much impossible that I'll give up and stop working, so no need to worry about that, I just have a lot of areas I have to work on. I do want the site to show my personality, my initial target audience was the teen market and I figure since I'm a teen girl myself, maybe my personality would make the customers feel...I don't know, more comfortable?
I definitely don't want to look cheap and ametuer because I know what a big turn-off that is for me, so I'm going to work on the color scheme, navigation, and layout of the site a bit tonight or after Thanksgiving.
I'm going for a youthful, vibrant look but I want it to still look professional. It may be hard to pull off for someone inexperienced like me, but I'll get it right sooner or later.
