Free, free, free! How the forget are you going to make MONEY?

If anything, you're just two kids richarding around with knowledge you could actually use somewhere important to make ACTUAL money.

By taking client requests. The free programs are just that, they're for everyone. The ones we'll be making money from are the websites, custom applications, etc.

I might join, if you realize that doing this will mostly be finding people who will actually want some kids messing around to design there websites. There might be a few people out there who need design for cheap, but they will probably never find you until you build up popularity.

Maybe you can start by building websites for your church, or organizations you are in. (for free of course) You'll get experience working for actual people, and you might build up some popularity in you're local community. If you're in a small town with few or no other design companies, it may help  a lot.

Good thing we do.

We already are fairly popular, on a local level; unfortunately we attend two different schools, but teachers at both schools say that they're interested. Friends of ours have also said they'll check it out, one already wants a website.

What's their website going to be about. It'll be a waste of your time if you make them a website, they do one thing with it and never update it and it doesn't attract any traffic.

And then they will probably refuse to pay for it because of that.

Kyzor, "Hey man you still owe me money for your website!"
Friend, "I don't want it anymore, I don't owe you anything."

Is this the 4th thing you made that has to do with you and serving others? And they all got locked within the first what, day? Pattern recognized.

Also, do you even design hyperjets?

I mean, if you make a business you should try to think of a more original name. See: Java, Linux, Apple, Microsoft, and especially Google and Mozilla.

Obviously the company's name should be Wynd Fox Fan Club.

Also, good luck.

WynDesign would be a catchy name.

Indeed it would. And it's ambiguous enough that it could describe nearly anything.

Unlike HyperJet Design, which should only be used for designing hyper jets.

How about a video posted on youtube showcasing your editing and flash skills.  Just because you bought the adobe clusterforget pack doesnt automatically make you a professional editor and flash animator.
