My Website.... Question about Design?

[_just me]

Yes, the fat guy is me.... That's a what a terrible woman who isn't supposed to be so terrible can do to a man.

Those damn women! I bet she was a liberal.

I don't know. He could've been in a psychologically abusive relationship or something and this would read as insensitive to his real pain and suffering.

I know, I know. I'd just leave him alone when it comes to this kind of thing.

Polls don't work. But I recommend not having your personal and private websites attached to a business website in order to not scare off business that might think you're distracted or not willing to do business with anti-mormons.

I have thought of that. However, most of my work is going to be Conservative and Mormon related, so I don't expect to be attracting anti-mormons anyway that would be agreeing with me per-se.

I don't think it will be too big of an issue. Like with the fitness site, the program I'll be creating to sale to everyone, no select group, even people who aren't gay, or don't like liberals, still would buy Richard Simmons or Jane Fonda exercise products or music.

Once I get more content going, the links to other websites will not be so big of an issue.
The corporate site will be cleaned up more, more neutral in it's presentation of the various products and services, so as to not inflame.

Although, I will continue to re-evaluate that, depending on the directions the business goes.

Instead of starting so many little businesses perhaps focus on one business project. And linking to any hot button website is not going to do you any good, because a lot of people are just going to say "WTF?" and not do business with someone who connects business and private life so overtly.

Ill bet she also liked Neil Diamond....my guess is that many of Mr faqs problems are someone else's fault.

That said, the sites look like standard cheesy wordpress templates that have been put together by someone with no formal design experience. If you are going for function/content over form, no problem. If you are actually trying to impress with the design, you may want to actually hire a professional.

Not really sure what kind of clientele you are looking for, but, as a professional, the instant I actually checked you and your other sites out I would never do business with you, in any way, for several reasons (none of which are design related). Since you seem to be floundering here, I will give you some advice: don't link any of your sites together if you want to be taken seriously.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about.
While the sites aren't operational yet, still working things out, and forming them, the Evergrow, Ex-Anti-Mormon, and WhatisRightandWrong websites ARE most certainly professional looking websites (once they are ready).

WhatisRightandWrong: http://themeforest.net/item/broadcast-n ... eme/509077
Ex-Anti-Mormon: http://themeforest.net/item/goodnews-pr ... ne/1150692
Evergrow: http://themeforest.net/item/minos-for-s ... lio/492742

Yes, they are themes, but they are some of the best looking and most functional, and highest rated themes from ThemeForest.

Yes, my other three sites, LDSfaqs, leeuniverse, & FullbodyFit are FREE themes, and older in style.
LDSfaqs though has an "archeology" type feel to it, hence why I like it. But I do recognize it might be a little old, hence my question for this thread.
The FullbodyFIT site was simply a clean and simple, little more modern look that I picked, just so I could initially get the site up, some content, get things going. I have another theme, likely the highest rated and most popular theme on themeforest in design and function that I will be using for that website.
(this is it: http://themeforest.net/item/karma-clean ... eme/168737 )

But, it's so advanced, I simply don't have enough content yet. I'll put that into operation once I write the book, start promoting, etc.
And the leeuniverse site was the only "family" looking free theme or paid that I could find, that had only a family/homey feel to it. I do have a couple other versions of it by the same designer, but his one is the preferred. I do also realize it's also a bit "old" style, but like I said, it was all I could find that was at all nice.

Anyway, use the wayback machine and see some of the sites what they have looked like in the past years ago when I first wanted to do something, namely the above free ones (they've been improved more or less). I'm finally now starting to do something. Everything's not perfect and ready yet, but anyone.

Anyway, if you think the above four themes are "terrible" and not professional, you're an idiot.
I don't design websites, but I know good looking and good functional websites for professional services.

Are you paying money for those domains?

[_ldsfaqs]

Of course, domains aren't free....

[_Bond James Bond]

Of course, domains aren't free....

So how much money are you spending on five (more?) domains?

I read part of the "thesis" for FullBodyFit. Eight commas in one sentence is too many.

My other sites mostly are more "modern" looking (see links at site).
I like this ones style a lot for the site, but I'm worry'ed it's a bit old looking now.
But, I haven't found anything yet that could replace it.
Basically I'm torn. Part of me thinks it's just right, and another part thinks it's not as modern looking as it should be, for example compared to my other sites.

What do you think?

p.s. Don't be the predictable anti-mormon and simply say it sucks because you don't like me the Church, or the idea of such a site. Give me some reasonable opinions according to your personal views on website designs.

I think that someone who vehemently complained about being outed as 'leeuniverse' shouldn't post a link to his website where he is listed as 'leeuniverse'.
