What about using information, pictures or logos for... well.. lets just say a car for example.

I like it but I think you'd be better off starting with a lot less forum categories. They're all great category ideas but having so many inactive makes the forum feel dead when it seems to have a fair amount of posts lately.

Sent him an email but he never got back to me.

I agree with what you said about having a budget for a coder. I wasn't talking about having a budget for the programming. You absolutely need to do that yourself and assume that you'll have a good $3,000+ worth of your own time in the development process. But it does cost a lot to do the initial advertising blitz and have a good design made.

My view is that you'll need to spend upwards of a thousand on design work and tons of time just figuring out how to do it differently. I would suggest finding something that nobody has done before because you won't be up against hundreds of similar games. I'd say avoid sports, crime, racing, fantasy and space themed games. It's just too competitive for someone to compete without a big budget.

Looks good!

I know this is sort of off topic but what would be a good average page loading time for an online game?

The rich should pay more taxes. Business owners are extremely important and any tax increases should be made to not harm their businesses. But it is FAR too easy to take money out of a company. I say lower the tax rate on corporations and give business owners a reason to stick their money back into the future of the company rather than spend it on themselves. I think you'd see more investment and job growth if a tax policy like that were enacted in the USA.

I forgot to mention that it is all coded and I have a custom content management system for the gaming site.

I'm not going to use ivowebdevelopment.com. I've switched to ivodev.com

I've added some more stuff to the site and changed the domain... http://www.ivodev.com/

So I have all of these designs from an old project that never actually came to fruition. I have PSDs, HTML and I still have a copy of the integrated vbulletin forum design (somewhere lol). What do you think this stuff would be worth? I doubt I'd sell if it isn't worth a lot. I also have the logo but I wouldn't want to sell that.

Wow, ivodev.com is available. Sounds good! I decided to go with ivowebdevelopment because some of the others would have been odd sounding. Since my business comes mainly through word of mouth and sales calls through my job I don't think the domain matters so much. I bought ivodev.com but it's still being transferred to me from one of those $1 domain sites... ;)

Hey guys! So I've decided to create a website for my website development business and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on the design. I think it's too simplistic and there is too much attention drawn to the logo. I plan on adding a slogan and contact information on the right side of the header. http://www.ivowebdevelopment.com/

This forum really does need something like this. I've been nervous as hell about hiring anyone from this forum. Thanks! :)
