Website Developer

Nice thread but if you don't have any more done projects you should show your development projects even though you're still working on them would still be nice to see but your site is enough and looks good.

Hey, I'm Segeco and im a website developer, I started in 2015 and I feel as if I've progressed massively compared to when I started. I've mainly done private jobs for clients and no public releases.I've done several other jobs for clients such as:Website status checkerServer homepageA website adaption for PKeys (Admin Panel)Ticket SystemIf you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Oh and my website is http://segeco.me

This isn't horrible for someone your age, keep up with the work, and don't stop where you are.

I'm working on a Garrys Mod Marketplace at the moment, I'm just deciding weather to release the link as there are some issues. (In terms of viewing, not using.)

How much are your services?

Why the loading page? I dont see anything that would need it, just makes the website take longer to load, and with the "Wall o' vouches" I might suggest a name or community you did the work for.

Your website scrolling gets a little choppy near the bottom of the page.

I like the point that you advertise that you're working on another Garry's mod marketplace, since Scriptfodder is already one.

While I can appreciate your passion to be a web developer and that you are learning new and useful things to help. I would advise that you take on some more clients and learn more before you jump right into a Gmod Marketplace. You are getting into a very big ordeal when you target this genre of people. Especially with points that have been made before such as optimization and of course: SECURITY, SECURITY, SECURITY. Because you will be processing payments, and if ANY exploit is found that someone can get into your system and breach security (and trust me, someone WILL try), then you will be over as quickly as you started. (A kid on Facepunch once tried this, and it didn't go well for him, but mainly because he stole work from others).

This is not to discourage you from not taking on this task, but it is just something I think you should take into consideration. I've been doing web development since you were probably knee high to a grass hopper. (I was 14 at the time, I'm 29 now) and I'm still learning things at 29), and it's a tough competitive market (but rather rewarding if you're good enough). Keep learning, keep trying new methods, and always keep up-to-date with everything that is changing. Don't just go for one language such as just PHP itself (or whatever you chose) - take on PHP, JS, HTML5+CSS3 (the whole kit, so you can do it all yourself) and get into different techniques and libraries such as ajax and jquery. Every little bit helps you be more on your own so you can do the job effectively.

I applaud anyone who wants to do something productive with their time instead of going out and partying and doing foolish things that 15 year olds do (I did it once myself), but just make sure you dot your i's and cross your t's before you make anything official. And don't make mistakes you can't recover from. Most importantly, BUILD BUILD BUILD a portfolio.

Best of luck! Richard

Not to mention after Robert started shitting on developers for trying to point out he's just in it for the money and his second script was just a fast write it got SQL Injected like drugs with a homeless person.

I would start from taking apart website templates, then getting into the php stuff later, learn to build a website instead of just back-end front-end is important too.

What is this saying? Or who is this directed to.

I kept it unnamed and never posted any links to the website, hardly advertising.

Your website scrolling gets a little choppy near the bottom of the page.

Thank you for pointing that out, I will look into that.

Horizontal bars are gross

I'd also suggest changing the main picture at the top to something like this I made like in 3 seconds.

Edited http://i.pi.gy/blQx.png for example if you want to see what it'd look like.

Ive also changed the picture, Hope this is better :)

I just had a quick read though your website and right at the top:

As you may know, Im a 16 year old freelance website developer.I tend to make websites for clients at a reasonable price, Ive also made many websites in the past.I make websites as a hobby due to its simplicity and how feature rich it is. Ive also been in many different website projects.

Not trying to put you down, but when you have to sell yourself to someone, getting your grammar and spelling is very important. For example "I'm", "I've" and "Ive also been in many different website projects." would be better written as "I've also been a part of many website projects". I do realize that English may not be your first language, however, first impressions do matter.

Did my best and fixed it up, sorry.

No worries.

For people your age the website is not bad, I personally like the parallax scrolling. Clean design, responsive works quite well except Wall o' Vouches. when those titles isn't really in the center and got slightly covered up but it's just me being picky.

Other than that, good luck.

I personally vouch for Segeco, even though he may not be very old, he is very passionate about web development, and from what I have seen has a lot of talent. He hasn't done too many projects but has begun developing quite a few. I wish you the very best of luck Segeco!
