you're right, perhaps i spoke out of turn by offering a critique. well, what's done is done, though i apologize for any hurt feelings.
i'd love to direct you to my web site, zack, but i don't have one. me having the best or worst site in the universe is irrelevant anyway. i said to scrap it because, well, there's not much to scrap. whether your spent ten minutes or ten years on it is, again, irrelevant, though i did give you a nod to getting this far, which is impressive by most standards. your site lacks the basics of good commerce, and you don't seem to mind that at all. if i have to be the pin in your balloon, i guess i'm that guy today ~ get over the criticism because it comes in all forms and concentrate on improving your web site. because as it stands, you can do all the things in the world to drive business to it, but it's hard to picture too many people putting their confidence in the site as it stands.
so, until the site is up to a minimal standard of professionalism, i'm not seeing too much of a point in delving into marketing options. right now, you have exactly one option ~ fix the site. i can appreciate being under-funded, most people who attempt this are, but that's also one of people's greatest failures be it in screen printing or any business. if a good site costs $1500, what are you going to do? pay it, get a great site out of it, and when people are lured by your marketing they're greeted with a great brand's site that they feel completely confident in, purchasing from a company that has their act together.
take it for what it's worth, which is exactly how much you paid for it. leave this site exactly the way it is out of stubbornness to show up some random dude off the net, and you will fail. no one wants to see that happen.
