New Airsmithing Website

[speedyejl]

Me and my buddy are starting up an Airsmithing bussiness. Im gonna be doing some Automag stuff on it, basically everything besides milling and annoing. We are looking into an anno setup currently and, getting a Mill. The anno and mill will be mostly for other guns. but who knows with the new Aluminum bods!!

It's a pretty good page... I just really don't like the buttons... I like pages made from tables... very clean....

use frames, frames are really nice, and if you want to impress, a flash intro

oooooooh, OSX! ;)

Your cleaning/rebuilding and O-ring rebuilding links go to the same page. Not sure if they were suposed to.

Looks nice so far.

yeh, youre cheap, that much is for sure....im not sure if youre maybe too cheap? i mean, "wow, thats almost too cheap--he cant do good work" but you dont want people saying "damn, hes expensive, cant afford that kind of work". most shop rates around the industry are $15-30 per hour for a paintball store. go to Doc's machine shop or another big airsmith, it can easily be $45-75/hour

Stay in school - or go back! Your grammatical errors made me feel embarrassed for you!

If you are going to start a business you need to do things. Be good at what you do and represent yourself well. You wrote in passive voice, which did not convey any confidence in your abilities. Take the autococker page - I wouldn't let you work (or pay you to work) on my cocker. You show no detailed knowledge or comfort with the cocker - you basically wrote that you will work on it because it is popular. That doesn't inspire confidence in your abilities. Furthermore, there is a huge run on sentence and there is inaccuracy in the history part. The sniper, which is the pump the 'cocker is based on is no where near one of the "first" paintball guns. The 'cocker was one of the first SEMIs - but that is entirely different then what you wrote.

Hope these comments help. This was no way intended to be a flame. I'd suggest you find someone who can write to do the page for you.

P.S. Learn to use a spell check!!!!

Dealer Forum? ;)

I gave thought about putting this in the dealer fourm. But I'm not really selling products, just services. In other words I'm not dealing in the conventional sense.

Also about the cocker page its sorta funny. Long story short I didn't write it but it was sumbited by my cocker guy. I'll agree with you on that.

O and about being cheap heh. Our prices are resonable, and since we don't have a big customer base (yet), being cheap might get us one :) Also anyhow, currently our profits minus the price for things we use (lube, orings, etc) are going to three things. A powder coating gun and oven, an annodizing set, and a mill.

[FutureMagOwner]

when you get your mill ill give you a model and my slug and you mill it for me for free so you know how it works?

[Kevmaster]

at $5 per item mainly--its gunna be a hella long time before you get that anno bath and mill, but good luck

[speedyejl]

I could buy a powder coating gun, and an anno bath now if I wanted, I dont think I can burn $1000 on a mill yet though. The idea is to see if there is enough of a market out there.
