Like you said, with time I'll become better but please know I am currently not charging for any services. I'm doing this to learn and improve by web design skills. This was my first full website, so errors are inevitable.
Thanks for replying, and hopefully you understand. I wouldn't use the domain LaughingInc for a professional business anyway.
I know that you are just starting out, that's why I have this aggressive stand, it's the first thing your should learn, if you expect to make something out of your skills...
Most people in your position don't understand that this type of job requires one's full attention, as long as you are only one, you will need to spend a lot of time working, 24H a day is not uncommon, with more members in the team, you will find more "free-time", but this kind of job really requires your full attention, keep that in mind....
I just want you to understand that 70% if not more, of your visitors will hire or leave the site depending on your very own site, and all I'm saying is, a good site is easier to find and will most likely bring your customers...
I currently have a hard time of getting contracts, because I don't have an online portfolio and all my created sites are inaccessible to me due to some private situations.
I'm however lucky and have a partner who takes care of "sowing" and "proving" our skills...
But let me tell you this once, I got my data back and a new server, we will get even more contracts, resulting in even more money earned and even less free-time... ;)
Good luck, but keep in mind what I've told you...
EDIT: Laughing .Inc can actually be a pretty good name, it can be used to in the right context and tell users that your work for example, makes them laugh instead of having to worry ;)
EDIT:
Compared to the first site, you second site is not only valid but looks far more better and cleaner, so you see there is more to websites then just having this and that...
