    I would prefer the word free out of your domain...
    Try to use another free service like
    freehostia.com
    PHP:
    rather than freewebs.
    I don't think a visitor can trust you if he finds your site is made for free...
    You may also use a domain name for your site like frozenarticles.com.(try
    www.co.cc
    HTML:
    if you are not willing to pay for a real domain name)

    Freehostia.com is a great free service - but if you want a serious website - get at least COM.

    I didnt like the background pic and the text is too thick for my style, but the overall is cute.

    Sorry, but at the moment, your writing skills definitely aren't up to scratch to run a professional article writing service. The Linkin' Park sample article on your site isn't up to a professional standard. The one about global warming uses the same opening line as the global warming article in Wikipedia.

    You've got to think about why anyone would choose your service over one that already exists. What adds value?

    You should get a professional logo for the site.

    1. You should get your own domain for this service. Even .info is enough.
    2. Take out that Adsense. It's showing a "seafood testing" ads on my side.:confused:
    3. You need to work out more with your writing. If you keep writing like that, you will stick with $0.01/words forever.

    actually ive had a few clients already.... and the wikipedia opening is a definition... sorry if i didn't come up with my own definition for a wrod. I'd like constructive critism not someone bashing me

    Also, I'm sorry if my writing isn't perfect what would you really expect from a junior in high school.

    I'm definitely not bashing you, you asked for a review and I gave you one. I didn't say nobody would use your service, I asked what adds value for your customer, to stop them going elsewhere.

    Whilst the Wikipedia opening is a definition, there's nothing stopping you putting it into your own words.

    I'd expect a junior in high school to not start up a site selling something that he wasn't proficient in.

    All that aside, I think you'd be better off getting a free hosting package at somewhere like www.hostrator.com. They don't display ads and give you way more than what freewebs will (FTP access, cPanel, etc). Then go to somewhere like www.oswd.org and get a decent template to fill out. Then begin advertising your site. If it looks more professional, people will go for it.
