How can other Indie Hackers help you this month? (April 2018)
Hey guys,
Inspired by @channingallen 's post on "What are you working on this month?" I would like to start a new series of posts "How can other Indie Hackers help you this month?"
The idea is to share your skills, learnings, or simply become an accountability partner to someone else who wants to build his indie startup / project.
We have a terrific community so let's leverage it!
---
-
What help / service / advice / learning can you offer to other Indie Hackers this month?
-
What do you need help with?
Please make sure to comment first on someone's else post :)
I will start!
I can help other IndieHackers to start a similar business as Manypixels (productized service or managed marketplace) and offer my learnings on how to find an idea, how to find distribution channels, how to get your first users, how to perfect your service delivery. Happy to jump on 15-20 min WhatsApp calls or exchange emails with a few people from IH.
Looking to get help on copywriting (planning to launch the v3 of my website) and looking to hire a freelance back-end dev.
@Vinrob Never heard of ManyPixels, but based on your user reviews... https://www.producthunt.com/posts/manypixels ...it looks like you're running a scam service. Please advise if this is not true. Thanks.
Hey @tonya_simpkins As you can see a lot of PH customers complained about communication delays. This all happened due to our launch on PH which gave us 150 subscribers in a few days. We were not prepared to that in terms of project managers but this is being fixed :) The designs are still kick ass, super high value and if there are any delays I often throw in a couple of extra weeks :)
Last but not least: 1. Manypixels has a 10 days money back guarantee (no questions asked) and 2. I am super responsive either here, via email (my first name @ Manypixels.co) or Twitter
Hey Robin! Love the concept of your site, but feel you're missing some big holes at the beginning of the user experience. I don't think copywriting is what you're lacking right now - I paid for a premium plan (copy is good enough). Rather I'd recommend focusing on your onboarding, it completely lacks. I could help if you need some feedback/insights. Otherwise, hoping you're able to keep the business afloat as it can provide a major value to startups.
Thanks for your kind help. I definitely ask for 20 min WhatsApp call, once my design over. Loving Manypixels and referring to many :)
Thank you! Feel free to email me if you want me to sometimes look at your requests or if you need extra time on your subscription to make sure it goes well. I will also give you my WhatsApp number in that email :)
Ah, if I was any good at copywriting or decent at back-end... Thanks for your help offer though, big fan of your business ManyPixels :)
Thanks!
Thanks for offering to help, just sent you an e-mail!
Just replied :)
Hello, I just went to Manypixels and reading over everything. I'm still alittle bit confused as to what you offer in the timeframe that you have listed on the site. I am not a developer, but interested in learning more about this company.
Hi Robin. Thank you for offering your help. I'm a first- time founder. I definitely need your help on how to find distribution channel and how to get 15 first users for the service that I'm building. It's an unlimited Testing service that would help startups to get quality web application testing done by real testers on real devices.
Hello,
i'm intersted in finding out more about your services and how I can use them on my new platform. Please send contact information. :)
Hi Pamela! Thank you for your interest in our service. You may email me at analyn (at) testrise (dot)com. Feel free to visit our website at www.testrise.com
@Robin Specific to copywriting, can you elaborate on what type of help you're looking for? What do you want the copywriter to help you with?
I'd like help to do the copy of my landing page and a few other pages of the website.
@Robin Got it. Curious, what do you dislike about your current copy on the website right now?
I'd be happy to help with copywriting if you'd be interested :)
Great, email me (my first name @ Manypixels.co)
I can kill it on the backend. Sent you an email.
I would love to know about your initial strategies for user acquisition.
I can help with copywriting :-)
Feel free to email me (email is info@ my website)
I've emailed you :-)
thanks for the support - sent an email :)
As a UX designer, I can offer design feedback on your site or app.
I need help posting more sites and apps on betas.io.
These can work in unison. If you post your site or app on betas.io, I can give you feedback on there because well, Betas is dedicated to giving feedback! Just let me know the site or app you posted in this thread, and I'll be sure to give you feedback! Aweeeeeeesome.
Really neat idea! I'll submit my site soon and try to give some feedback if possible. Just out of interest, does this make revenue, and if so, how?
Thanks! That would be awesome Sam. No, this does not make revenue. I'm focused on growing the audience and keeping everyone engaged. I plan on having a paid, featured section on the homepage as sort of a "promoted" section where people can pay to have their sites there for 30 days, but the value isn't there yet. Need a much larger audience.
We just posted our site to Betas. :) Looks like an interesting website. Looking forward to getting some feedback!
Just left some feedback! https://www.betas.io/posts/5ac2755885b9160004c523e9
Hey brother! Thanks for the feedback. We will definitely look into some of the changes you mentioned. :) It's definitely a true "beta" version right now, so lots of room for improvement! Betas is still a cool concept to us. Interested in seeing what happens when more people are leaving feedback. Would be super helpful.
Thanks Rocket. I'm currently working on that now. Trying to find others to help leave feedback. You can see my long answer on this topic in the thread below.
At this scale, I can leave most of the feedback, but at a larger scale, it will be a lot more difficult. I'm really encouraging people to return the favor.
For instance, in the feedback I left you, you can see my name and the posts I have on Betas, next to my name. If someone gives you feedback and they have a post, I highly encourage you to return the favor! No, but seriously, if you could leave feedback on Betas, on Betas, that would be awesome! That's the kind of thing I'm going to focus on in the next month.
I'm going to put together a daily or weekly opt-in to be notified of the latest sites and sites without feedback. It's been requested and think it will encourage existing users to continue giving feedback. Hopefully that keeps the community engaged and growing. Thanks!
So, I posted to betas.io weeks ago, and see that you've done a great job getting word out about it. As a next step, have you thought about focusing on getting reviewers? Your site, like so many (including my own project!) is facing a classic chicken-and-egg problem. The incentives for posters like myself are obvious - people loooove getting feedback (this problem happens on IH a bit, too). And, so far, you've attracted a crowd of people (like myself) who want feedback. What's the incentive for people to offer feedback? I see that you're doing a great job giving feedback yourself, but that's not scalable. So, again - have you thought about what'd bring reviewers to the site?
Hey Max. Yes, classic chicken and egg. As a designer, I enjoy helping people out with design tips here and there. Of course it's an opportunity to market myself and my expertise, but it's fun to dissect a design, think about what's working and what's not, both from a design perspective and a user perspective. I just love analyzing design, it's something that really intrigues me. It's trying to answer my own question of "What makes that good?" or "Why do I like that?" or "Why am I confused about this site?".
Turns out, other people enjoy doing this too, as evident by other people who've left feedback other than me. I think you can also attribute that to the simple nature of how you give feedback. The number of other people who've given feedback would be much lower if there was a larger barrier to giving feedback, I'm sure. I wanted it to feel as simple as answering a question on Quora. But of course, like Quora, there will be questions or posts or tweets or whatever that go unanswered. It's really difficult to give everyone feedback myself, so this month, I'm going be focused more on the marketing side and finding more people who enjoy giving feedback, specifically, on sites and apps.
To help the likelihood of getting feedback, I added a sharing feature to help draw people to your post on Betas from social media. This helps everyone. It not only helps increase your chances of getting feedback, but it also helps the Betas community grow. Like you said, I can't do it alone, so that's one way the community can help itself out.
This month I'll be doing a lot with marketing and reaching out to many of the awesome people who've left feedback other than me, to really get a sense of what made them want to give feedback and to try and find others like them to be apart of the community. I also added posts next to your name when you leave someone else feedback, so HOPEFULLY that makes giving feedback reciprocal.
Scenario: If you gave my site feedback on Betas and I see you also have a site on Betas, I'll (hopefully) want to return the favor and give you feedback as well.
If you posted something on Betas, I recommend giving someone else feedback, so hopefully they'll be inclined to return the favor. I would even give feedback and ask them directly to return the favor and to give your site feedback. That could be a good way to get more feedback.
Have you considered forcing people to leave feedback before allowing them to submit anything of their own?
Like @SamCavicchi mentioned, I don't want people to just leave feedback like, "Nice.". Although, people probably will anyway, so maybe I just test it out for a little bit to see how it goes. Great idea! I'll try to update when I have some results.
That's easily solved with a minimum character count. And you can weed out the garbage comments with a simple upvote/downvote system like you see here or any comment-based discussion system.
Of course, this is all easy to suggest because I'm not the one who would have to implement or moderate it. Just a thought though.
Great point. Ya, I like the idea. I'll see if people are willing to leave feedback in order to post their site. Something to test. Thanks.
I feel this could force people to leave disingenuous feedback
I specialize in design and front-end development. Currently, I'm a software engineer at Airbnb 🏠 and bootstrapping https://featherchat.com/
I can offer design feedback on whatever you're working on. I can also answer any questions you might have about architecting front-ends and APIs. 🎉
Nothing, for now. Paying it forward 🙏
Feel free to shoot me a DM on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonathanzwhite
Hi @jonathanzwhite I will definitely take you up on the offer.
I love the idea of this post.
I would love to help Indie Hackers figure out their MVP strategy and product, and plan their MVP sprint. I find the main difference between experienced entrepreneurs, and first-time founders is how fast they can get to their first customer/first validation.
I just launched https://www.hodlbot.io last week. HodlBot is an investing tool that lets you easily diversify across the top 20 cryptocurrencies. Would love it if you guys checked it out and gave us some feedback :)
You can check out the blog here for more details:
https://medium.com/@AnthonytXie/hodlbot-cryptocurrency-investing-on-autopilot-dce2e4c9a7f7
On a related topic, how much time would you typically allocate to a MVP?
Before I start a MVP, I give myself one day to make a magic landing page version and collecting sign-ups. If there's any uptake then I'll actually start working on the MVP. It depends on what the MVP is, but I try to have it done in 2 weeks.
Starting today, we are beta launching our product https://remoteleaf.com.
Looking forward to acquiring first 20 customers.
Any chance of adding Golang or Frontend categories?
Added Frontend category :) May be I can add you to the golang list if you want to subscribe. I just don't want to include it in the public list.
hey ,
i am not looking for full time jobs.
I am looking for freelance assignments.
especially in GTK+ , ELM
can you get me such assignments and keep 20 percent of project fee ?
Hey @Kodekaran Sorry, we are doing it only for the remote full time jobs.
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing @Vinrob :)
I can help with product specifications and building tools for ecommerce and especially for Shopify and BigCommerce
I'm looking for help for prospecting , cold outreach and making sales calls.
@wissem - In specific to cold outreach, what would you like help with? (I use to do B2B outbound prospecting for a consulting firm in Washington, DC. I cold called hospitals to sell consulting programs/software.)
@kmelo I would say everything :D but more specefically how to increase my reply rate (currently it's 0%.)
Would you be open in having a quick chat? My email is in my bio.
Anything DevOps related (AWS, GCP, K8s, Docker, App Engine, microservices, etc)
Nothing just yet :-)
If you have an existing side-project that you don't know how to market, or if you're just stuck for profitable project ideas in general, I can help! Happy to brainstorm and do research!
If you host a podcast it would be really helpful to talk to you so I can learn more!
I can help other IndieHackers select technologies for an MVP, build web apps using Angular,React,Node.js,Python or ASP.NET and can help provide constructive criticism on product design. I am looking for help launching one of my three side projects ( 1: a localized version kismet of any online community, 2: a marketplace for podcast music, 3: a hand curated co-founder matching service )
I have domains for each site, just struggling to find the time to build the MVPs and need help with marketing.
Hey, I would love to talk to you because I would need your help and would love to help you :) Please send me a mail (you can find it on my profile)
If any of the below points interest you, or you need help in any way, please feel free to drop me a line.
Physical product manufacturing, especially apparel (higher end, technical fabrics)
Starting a podcast
Shopify development, or Shopify in general
Great start @Vinrob!
I am a software engineer who has experience both frontend (ReactJS/jQuery) and backend (Python/Flask). Feel free to ask me about technical stuff, I can design the MVP as well
I don't have any experiences in Sales and Marketing, need help how to get first 10 paid users for one of my SaaS product

Web Developer here to help!
I can help other Indie Hackers on creating professional looking landing pages as well as creating full blown web sites. I do this on the daily and I'm looking to spin off into doing my own thing.
I'm barely out of the gate with this effort and would love some help in lead generation. If you know of anyone that needs help with web dev, I'd love to get in touch.
Awesome! Are you familiar with AngularJS?
I am.
Great thread Robin!

Hi. I am full stack developer. Front end - React, Backend Python.
I have good enough knowledge on Vanilla javascript :)
I am completely free for this month. So happy to help and collaborate.

Maybe I can help you with this. In case that you are bored in your free months I have multiple ideas on which you could work if you are interested :D If you are interested, please send me a mail - you can find it in my profile
I would really be interesting in helping others :)

Hi Philip, why do you need AngularJS help?
This comment was deleted 6 months ago.
Great Idea!
My background is in Paid Advertising in particular AdWords and Analytics. So more than happy to give some tips and guidance on how to include it in your Marketing or to give advice on marketing funnels in general .
Thanks for your offering, Robin! Might come back to that:).
Do you have any reading recommendations for someone looking to optimise their adwords campaigns?
There are actually a lot of good resources from Google itself. It kind of depends on how advanced you are. Are you just starting or do you have some experience already?
Have you checked out Academy for Ads (https://landing.google.com/academyforads) ?
That might be a good start also linking to other more advanced material.
Yeah I'm just looking to get started with my new project, thanks for the link I will definitely give it a read before I do!

I'd love some advice on AdWords since I'm planning on starting a Google Shopping campaign next week :)
Same as below: just write me on Twitter (@the_mmw) and I am very happy to help.:)
I'd welcome any ideas/advice for marketing the React UI component toolkit I'm launching this week
Sure! Shoot me a DM on Twitter (@the_mmw) with your questions so we can discuss!:)
I can do backend engineering (or front-end, but not UI design)
I need help with search engine marketing and growing a YouTube channel.
If anyone needs help with researching or trying to find information. I would like to help in that aspect in anyway I can.
Currently I'm trying to figure out the best way to setup my landing page and gain traction for signups for a product I want to launch.
What help / service / advice / learning can you offer to other Indie Hackers this month?
Make your product a success. www.productprocesses.co
What do you need help with?
Becoming better at sales.
I can offer advice on how to work with Meteor as a framework and it's capabilities. Have been active since the very beginnings (0.11). Also have experience with Vue
Spreading my open source platform that I want to start spreading soon: Sounds Social
I can help by giving other IndieHackers some early exposure.
I'm curating interviews on web entrepreneurs and nomads.
We talk about the software they use to run their business and how it makes a difference in their organisation.
I'm happy to volunteer my sales and marketing expertise, especially in cold calling and b2b.
I can help with Instagram marketing. Hit me up if you need any help.
I am a web developer with good skills at Vue.js, Node.js, PostgreSQl, webpack. So I can help you with building your first(or now) web app.
I am looking for inspiration to start my own project or it would be nice to collaborate with somebody to build something beautiful :)
Help / service / advice / learning I can offer? I am relatively new to the indie startup life style. I don't think I have too much to offer on the business side of things, but I have been developing web app's for a bit over seven years and would love to try and help anyone having issues with the technology side of their business.
What help do I need? Oh where to start?! Like I mentioned I have been working on web applications for a while, but most of my time is spent on the back-end. So my project's UI looks like a dumpster fire. I feel utterly hopeless when looking at all of the elegant sites I see posted on IH each day. My strategy is currently to just provide such an amazing service that customers wont mind the crummy UI long enough for me to hire someone to improve it. I also have very little sales experience so while I have been reaching out to customers I do not think I have been very clear and feel like I ramble and do not clearly explain my product. If someone who has experience with pitching products had a little time to coach me, that would be awesome!
I need help with copy writing for my website . I am re branding my existing site and would like my site to at least generate 2-3 leads per month
I can offer testing advice and some help to startups who cannot afford to get their software fully tested. Just drop your email at www.testrise.com and I will get back to you.
I am looking to get some help with spreading the news about my new service. Specifically how to market to early stage startups that already have revenue generating products.
I can offer any front or back end development advice.
I can't think of a name for my 30 day workout challenge app. I'm thinking something *Fit but open to any ideas.
TrentaFit .
Thanks. Thats not bad. Trenta meaning 30 in spanish?
Italian. And it looks like someone bought the .com domain this morning so I hope it was you! Did you grab it?
Hello all,
Create landing pages that convert sales/ leads
Design marketing funnels
I've started drafting a guide to Indie Hacking, so some feedback/ user interviews would be useful
I've been Indie Hacking for about 3 years. Been working in and around startups for about 10. I have experience across Operations, Marketing and front-end development. Looking to get back into working with startups again, potentially as a product manager.
It's still a work in progress but, you can get a rough idea of me here... mrgrillet.github.io
Great idea @Vinrob
For the rest of the indie hackers out there there:
I can help with SEO, content, funnels, and general monetization online.
My MVP developer recently took a full time job that can help him get citizenship (not remote either) so I’m hesitant releasing my beta right now to the list. The product and my business is in the Airbnb space (remotescale.com) - reach out if you’re familiar with RoR & NodeJS! CUSTOMER DEVELOPMENT is priority right now, along with finding a long term technical lead :)
Happy to help where I can as well here!
Hey Kelvin!
I believe I could help you. I have 5 years of professional experience with RoR and I also did some NodeJS.
I couldn't find your e-mail on your IH profile, so shoot me an email if you'd like to get in touch with me kacperoza@gmail.com
And BTW I'll be travelling the following 2 months so I might help you find some AirBNB hosts :)
I am looking for beta testers on my iOS pushup tracking app.
It is better than just using Notes because it calculates how many you have done today, this week, month, year etc.
I have been using it for a month myself and have done over 1,000 pushups.
I can help anyone that needs help with:
Icon design
C++
Let me know :)
I'd love to have an icon designed. If you need any help on web related technologies let me know.
Great :) Give me some details. What do you have in mind?
It's for the project I've been working on. https://github.com/sounds-social/sounds-social
It's free software and I don't earn anything (yet). If you want to help out let me know!
I'm really sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier. Here is something for you to look at and run with (hopefully):
Icon : https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xyfsvjjba880xl/ss_logo.png?dl=0

@ggcdn sorry to hijack haha - what are you looking for? Maybe I can help you out.
I have experience vetting user interaction, UX, bounce Ideas off me. Technical architecture, on the Javascript side at least up to the MVP level, larger scaling issues or questions aren't really in my wheelhouse. CRM, Business Logic.
I am looking for things to work on, I have an idea percilating so I could use some help, vetting it in it's infancy.
I mentor startups at an accelerator in the Silicon Valley in terms of Growth Marketing and run SEO @ Atlassian. Happy to give some advice on these (overlapping) topics.
Hey @Kevin_Indig very cool! I run content as part of a growth team as well. How did you get into the startup accelerators?
I was lucky to be invited after the leadership saw a couple of my presentations and blog articles ;-).
Who do you run content for?
I can help with mobile and frontend development if you need any advice or help solving a problem you're facing. I can also help if you need any tips on launching a mobile app/website.
I would love to get some specific SEO advice for my project inboxreads.co . I've followed a lot of articles and general advice but it'd be nice to know if there's anything obvious I'm missing or getting wrong.
I am planning an applicant management system, where candidates can store their profiles. The idea is to market the database to recruiters / employers.
I am seeking development and marketing partners.
I'm all about SaaS marketing!
Happy to help anyone struggling with how to start, what to invest in, or what skills they need to develop. There is no silver bullet, and everyone needs to create their own unique strategy.
I'd be happy to talk to anyone via email or telegram!
I need help finding all of the medical practices using the Athena Net EHR products. Anyone? :)

I need a BUNCH of help with getting traffic ;)
Hi there, Designer here ;)
I am a Designer/consultant focused on conversion, meaning I can help with:
Identifying why people are not buying and how to replicate why your current customers bought.
Identifying problems to why to website is not converting
Identifying what to feature on the landing page to get the best CR.
tweaking the website with the changes that will get you the most results.
If you need help with any of these problems shot me an email, or comment below 👇:
pedro@cortes.design
Didn't get how I can help? or Want to learn more?
Here's more info about what I do: www.cortes.design
Cheers & happy to help 👋
PS: This is the best idea for a post ever, congrats Robin!
PPS: Not needing a lot of help yet as an still an inspiring IH ;)
I'd love to have an ( experienced ) designer look over Hackterms. I feel that I'm strong with UX and not UI - and I know lots of people have lots of opinions, but I feel that UI design is my weakest point, and it'd be great to talk to someone with actual expertise, and not just opinions.
Actually, opinions would be helpful too :)
I think I can help Max haha 👋
It's super simple, but the UI is killing a bit the navigation and the reading which is affecting the UX, here's a couple of tips that will improve that much more:
Change the spacing, this is impossible to explain as there could a billion tweaks to do, copy this header it makes it a lot easier to see and your respects the eye level when you are looking at a monitor (right now you have it way up): https://university.webflow.com/
Limit the width of the text otherwise it makes it impossible to read properly without getting fatigued. Just look at the difference between Medium and Wikipedia (which reads like sh*t!), and maybe limit the width on the desktop to 940-960px.
Hope it was helpful ;)
Thanks so much - this is super helpful! Just limited my desktop width to 980px.
I love the webflow header and layout. I'm definitely going to look over that as an example and see how much I can integrate into my site.
I was about the advise your 2nd point. I couldn't even finish reading without my eyes hurting. 400 - 600 px is perfect.
I love your UI. Simpler is always better.
The simplicity, the un-busy-ness of the layout is nice. I clearly knew what to do.
Pedro Cortes’ site example has good features….he is spot on about a picture being worth 1000 words.
The sign up button - what am I signing up for?
Darker, fatter text, please. (https://www.wired.com/2016/10/how-the-web-became-unreadable)
I searched for MRR, which I know is a business term, but it is widely used in hacker circles. Would business terms distort your aim?
It is a very usable site.
Thank you so much!
That's the biggest compliment. I really love UX, and wanted to make a site that doesn't annoy my users (like all the other websites do). The problem is that (to me) Hackterms looks old. I'm already integrating Pedro's suggestions!
MRRis a great and useful term. Go ahead and add a definition! For now, I'm trying to stick to terms immediately relevant to programming, but project management terms are a good fit - as long as they are very commonly used by developers.I would make your tags a little bigger. Kind of hard to read. I'd also maybe show a few terms to give people an idea of what to expect with these terms. As a plug, I invite you to post hackterms on betas.io, it's something I built for people to get feedback on their site or app. I'm happy to give more comprehensive feedback on there as well!
Thanks for the feedback! Already posted on betas.io when you launched, weeks ago :)

Hello there,
I am looking to have an MVP on one idea I want to get off of the ground. ( i need help )
Real life chat
I would like to build an application that is aimed to get rid of social media, its aim is to connect you again IRL with your friends.
I used to have a tough time finding parcels of time where my friend and I were free to have a real chat (free of cell phone).
After I decided to quit all social media I find it was even harder to communicate with friends without using social media and smslike chat.
The aim of this app is to allow you to fix “real life chats” appointment when you and your friend are free, to have a real life chat around a tea or a coffee to discuss life, life problems, love, happiness sadness and all matters of our human life.
This is my humble take, and wish will help as many people as possible get out of their phone by deinstalling most social app and avoid sms like chats.
Sms like chats : don’t provide the emotions. you can’t feel the vibe of your friend, if he is sad or happy or just ok.
You don't know when your friends are free for a real life chat, they don't know when you are free for a real life chat.
Usually humans went directly to the house of their "friend" but this is not always possible in big cities without scheduling.
Humans have interacted for thousands of years directly, and I think it must remain the same at least for 90 % of our communications.
PS : with the fall of facebook and social media trust in public. Part of the community will try to get rid of them. But still wants the rapidity of technology. People will need ways of cutting on social media and gmail email tech. without cutting through an internet communication.
The app will surely be encrypted for the end user (don't know how I'll manage that )
Also policy of low data to nothing will be saved on customer ( this neither )
I am a beginner web dev, node js and mongodb for backend. but have done software development in fortran :) and c++ for corporate for about 1 year and half.

have a good day !
I need to create buzz and get people to sign up for Witsi.co. I'd love to get 50 users this month.
I'm finishing up the finalities with my affiliate program (hopefully today...they drag their feet), and after that I'm focusing entirely on a media push for the next month or so. My goal is 50 users, stretch will be 100. If I can get there by the end of April I'll be feeling great.
So how would you do it? Where would you focus? Who would you get to help?
I can offer help & advice with a growth strategy (and accompanying tactics), particularly as it relates to SEO, content marketing/outreach & link building, which is my specialty. I can also help you evaluate paid channels to leverage for traffic/customer acquisition, as I'm doing a lot more with paid advertising (AdWords & Facebook Ads in particular) in my day job at the moment.
An accountability partner would be fantastic, particularly if you're in the same boat as me. (Just starting out) or if you're doing some kind of e-mail newsletter business/project. I'd also like to develop relationships with designers & developers who I can bounce my cringe-worthy mockups off of and be immediately set straight. :P
Hi Blair, would love if you can help over a chat/call. SEO seems to be working but FB seem to have missed the target market.
I have dev/design experience and can help you with it.
