    do you have a lot of games?

    do you still work on more games?

    do you need someone to answer queries and about the products?

    Look no further, i am gladly able to help.

    I have experienced managing before on other homebrew teams/developers, and would gladly help one of you guys.

    Yes, i maybe only 14

    but i don't want to get paid or anything, i only want to help you guys out there.

    I am skilled at various things on the computer and like to manage websites and forums.

    If you need any help, please PM me or post here, because i will be more then happy to help for free :)

    thanks,
    -Lukearcade22

    Good to know :)

    I'm not underestimating the capabilities of a 14 year old, but I think another good thing to learn would be Photoshop. That way, you would have even more to offer, despite your age.

    Good luck!

    One thing, from personal experience, age doesn't matter. It is how hard you try and how well you can do it. Good luck!

    any thing really

    I am talented at various softwares

    Have reached an A in English, so responding to e-mails is very easy

    I have experienced managing before

    And I learn very quickly

    Product managers are basically people who answer questions and manage games that are on the market

    That was cold.... real cold. You should really accept that, it's a perfect job for you! Everyone needs to start out somewhere, and you were just handed a great opportunity!

    I second that. Beggars can't be choosers. After that comment, I don't think anyone will want your help. Also, an A in english doesn't mean anything. Anyone can read a book and write a somewhat decent paper about it and go through the busy work.

    Also, it's not cool to change your post completely, making me and indyraider look stupid.

    Don't just be sorry, you can learn from this experience :)

    I think that that job would have been perfect for you, as it would have been a way to establish yourself on these forums and if WellSpentYouth had given you a good rap, perhaps you would have received other offers :)

    Well, I am very grateful to "IBelongInTheForums" for making my website. He was very nice! I am sure Luke is sorry, he will just have to live with the outcome. He still offered to help other people :p

    It still looks picky, even after you edited it. And plus, until you get a contract with someone, (which won't happen considering your age and lack of manners) you have to do freelance work with smaller companies, because successful companies have their own "product managers" so they will never need your help. I hardly use emoticons but you really deserve it... :mad:

    Here is some feedback of the website.

    I like that it is very straight forward and simple to use, but there are a few things that I don't like too much either which would be easy to fix.

    1) Since it is very thin, please increase the font size and widen the center.
    2) change the background to something less plain. You want your website to look attracting at first glance, so they more on to the content. maybe a navy blue or forrest green (sorry for using crayon colors) gradient with a soft, faded, black inner shadow to give depth.
    3) move the top bar to the side with nice sized text to make it very easy to switch through the sections in a bullet list as opposed to a written list.
    4) get a logo for App Tech. I know you as the designer have no power over this, but it would help if you could get one up.
    You don't have to listen to all suggestions, but they would really help it look and feel even better than it already does.

    PS: I will keep an eye out for iScreamer!
