Her card was flimsy crap (probably Vistaprint) with greyish coloring and pink text, which made it hard to read. She then had to explain that the photo on the card was not her, but a senior portrait that looked a lot like her (FAIL). And here's the big one: no website. Instead, she had the address of her flickr site.

hey hey whats wrong with vistaprint lol i got prints from there and they turned out really good. i can honestly say its not flimsy - depends on the type of paper selected??? anyways thats besides the point.
well im glad that i dont have the issues that girl has.
as for mysite - im working to revamp it. my main issue that bothered me most was the slow load of my portfolio but im workign on that. i never had a problem but too many people have told me they had a slow load time and its driving me insane.
anyways, thanks for those tips
as far as the ad - since its for free - im not going to scrap that - should i keep it simple and eliminate all the pricing and only have samples and a little blurb about the company? how did you do yours?
