I love designing things, but I don't claim to know everything about anything.
When my buddy asked me to design the page for
in anticipation of launching the beta through the appstore, I already knew I could do this.
I am no webdesigner by any stretch of the imagination, but there are so many templates readily available that I was sure I would find one that would fit our needs. All I need is some basics skills in reading HTML & CSS in order to know what to change (which I have because I DID actually at one time learn to code with HTML & CSS properly)
