By the way, Defcon-5 is civil peace. I think that Defcon-1 is more what you are looking for.

man, that is one ugly website.

pay the $4/month for "real" hosting, and use something like .NET Nuke or the other portal solutions.

at a minimum, you will be taken slightly more seriously if your page isnt parked at freewebs.com

Travis... Why do you keep editing your project page each time it goes down the list?

And Jason is right about your site... if you want to try and look like pros, you need a good site and a spell checker.

@Travis: wow, are you bitter or what? :P

if i was running a game studio, then i would have something sexy up.

right now, I am in the process of setting up a non-profit. www.cwite.org. and no, there isnt much there, but right now i am strictly dealing with the IRS, and the information they need is there.

know your audience, and thereby know what you need invested in a website.

once i get approval by the IRS, I will be spending 1k or so on website development. but until then, there is no reason to go overboard. I spent aprox 2 hours on that site so far.

You could also try Iconjure's web site design services, the guys are awesome to work with, and produce professional results.

and fyi, my site costs $4/month from godaddy.com

the portal I use is .NET Nuke. i like it, though i havent tried others so i dont know what it compares to.

I also have a domain name setup through godaddy.com, and because of that they give me a few free email addresses and email redirects, which also helps improve your professional image.

I also have a fax setup thru godaddy, though i found that if you want a fax, myfax.com is better/cheaper (but for you, you dont need a fax for your game studio i think)

I seriously recommend to look into some kind of decent spellchecking. I can't even read these blogs with a straight face due to the impressive number of misspelled words. If you can't be bothered to at least check the spelling on the titles of your games...that doesn't send a very good image. Anyway, I wish you luck.
