- They're not bad. Most people in this business make a living doing work worse than that.mikotondria3

well done. Might be more of a great copywriter than a designer.

amazing.
I want to see an example of a "large website where you can list things and sell them" – guess it means a Shopify site....

"that man didn't listen to the web designer and his website looks shit."

Important thing to remember is that this is obviously a one-man show. He represents only himself and he's hardly a company. He likely has no employees or anyone to answer to. Cheeky copy works for him.
People who want a relatively small and cheap, nice website can go to this (kid?) guy. Big business would never consider it, cheeky copy or not.

Sort of funny for us... if I were a client, I doubt I'd hire him :) More of an inside type of client v. design joke.

Well, you never know. Many agencies – and I can think of Sid Lee, Mother London and a few others – also sometimes adopt something close to this guy's tone of voice. He could well score some freelance gigs with the right shops, provided they've got a sense of humour.
- I'd consider him just for his nerve to do this, that's for sure.monospaced
- Haha, so would I, to be honest!Continuity

Dan is my new hero.

For shops hiring him, I agree. I tend to find the tone a bit over the top for real clients. It's all in choosing the right clients perhaps :) I don't really know much about W+K, but I liked this description of their "process"...

The bravado would work if he had the work to back it up, instead it looks like he's wandered in from Deviantart...
