OK, so I recently lost my partner-to-be that was going to be doing the marketing and web-dev side of my business.  He got an offer for a great COO position that actually pays, versus building a startup with me, so I can't really blame him for ducking out.

This leaves me, a person with no web-development skills whatsoever, sort of stranded as I need to A) get my old site (www.wiggyshifties.com) back up and running, and B) get a site or at least a decent blog for the gaming stuff that I'm working on like the SNES shell, GBA SP to GBA backlight adapters, modded portables, wireless controllers, etc.  I've got a brand name (soon to be revealed) and a bunch of other plans and ideas in the works, just no real ability or time to get a website/blog built.

So, here's my proposal for anyone with the skill set(s) that may want to help out.  I don't have a lot of cash to toss at this right now.  I spend a small fortune last year working with a marketing and sales company for the Shifties that ended up being worthless.  I don't want to mortgage the house to try and do something like that again, and my wife SURE AS HELL isn't interested.  Instead, I'd like to offer services in exchange for help.  I'll gladly trade out anything that I am capable of for the help, whether that's modding consoles, making covers and building custom cases, logo or any other 2D design, product design/development, 3D CAD modeling, licks from my pugs, products that are in the works like the SNES shell (would gladly do a special fancy pants custom, one-of-a-kind unit), or whatever else that I can do which I may be forgetting (I make a pretty mean beef stew that I can couple with some of my homemade beer ;) ).

Thanks guys (and gals?).

I'll help with anything I can! I don't really care about getting anything in return though.

Do you have skills with a Bo Staff?

But seriously, is there anything web-related that you can help with?  If so, that'd be a HUGE help, no matter how little.

Man, that would be weird as hell (dealing with someone so young), but I won't argue with any help I can get.  Thanks!

I can help with art and stuff, I did the art for Seymor Onion but not the coding but I have some experience doing some work in the past, in 5th grade  ;D but I am a fast learner with that kind of thing. I probably have some software somewhere that I can use, my mom did some sites for something. I'll see what I can do, school is starting up soon.
