Young webdesigners forum!

[Encryptions!]

.Code do you understand the basics of Web Marketing? Advertising on MSN isn't the basics, you need to get indexed on search engines and get a good PR on Google etc.

SEO your site and get PPC advertising is the way to go as well as plenty of recipricol links and directory submissions.

What age gorup do you consider as "young" webdesigners?

[Sygon.]

10 or maybe 11 - 18

[\\Tom]

younger teens probs, like 13 - 16? and then peeps older welcome too maybe?

[Mentor]

Humm, well youd probaly want some forum mentors, (as in proper word not me) whom can actaly answer and help properly along side the normal communaty, esplay if your targeting a limited age group.

Personaly i dont think age has much baireing on webdesign, it makes little diffence wether your 14 to 40, on a pention or in primary school "/

Indeed, but saying the age doesn't effect the designs, but it will effect the forum in different ways, such as spamming and how they reply to posts. Also, with all of these "young" teens in so to speak, they may want to learn how to design/develop, there for there will be most posts in requests rather than actually discussing or competitions etc.

It has came to the point where everyone asks for things for free in such a tone that I do not accept to code things for free as of their behaviour on a forum. I have offered once or twice, but in the end I may of had to pull out, So if I were to become staff at the forum, I would simply be a forum developer, not a mentor.


I agree with carl, I have seen amazing stuff by 14 year olds over the past year, and I am not just talking about other websites, there is also mass improvment in design on this forum too. I can't remember the site exactly, but the 13 year old girl can do better than any top designer on this forum, and possibly beat a 40 year old as carl said.

No matter the age, so long as you have creativity and common sence, and some programs, you can become a designer. (There's no job so simple that it can't be done wrong!)

Keep in mind just becuse someones older doesnt mean there not equaly a noob to the subject? you can be 40 and computer illietarte, and 13 and a computer genius, Age doesnt realy effect that in my opinion "/
