Hi! I am a high school junior looking to start a computer repair and building company. I've created a poster for it and would like your opinion on it. I have it so that you can comment so if you think that anything should be changed just comment on the part that should be changed. Thanks!

Looks pretty good.

But I'd go with less text. The average customer doesn't want to read that much. Also needs at least a phone number.

I would put a phone number on there but it would be my personal phone number and I don't want to risk getting spammed with scam calls

Well, then come up with a solution

Having your own business isn't easy.

You can always just download an app like TextMe which will give you a number for free (mute notifications from the app when you're off the clock). No need for a separate phone.

that sounds like a good idea, I'll give that a try. Also I wholesomely appreciate your profile picture from Hot Fuzz

I hate to go for the same area again but I think a comma would fit better and result in the sentence "flowing" better. The current version seems to produce an awkward sentence. This is being picky though, it looks rather good.

Honestly, don't. Computer repair shops are not profitable and they haven't been for a long time. Unless you can get large contracts to install business networks you'll never make money off of it. Most people who want a custom desktop are able to build and repair it themselves; those who aren't are often looking for some exotic liquid cooling setup, and the costs of screwing up on something like that would instantly sink your business.

 

Component level board repair is better, but obviously it requires a new skillset.

 

Other than that... the logo is nice, as others said you need a phone number.

Your text implies my out of warranty 1080 ti will get replaced for $50.

I'm not trying to make a living off of it I just want to build and repair computers for fun. Honestly, I would do it for free.

No, there is an asterisk that says "Plus the price of replacement parts"

Fair enough, but you still need to account for the possibility of breaking expensive equipment that belongs to your customer.

I know. Thank you for your concern.

Even if you bring the device back from the dead and they claim there is missing data, they may try to hold you financially responsible.  Make sure you have a contract they sign clearly spelling out your lines of responsibility and expectations.  To be sure, find legal aid to review it.
