I'm really sorry that you feel like that, Daisy.

As far I know, the idea of this website is for people to get ideas, advice, inspiration, and to learn about interior design and home decor. I contribute to Houzz by giving advice to others too. The course I have developed aims to help with the sorts of problems that members of Houzz experience, and that I see on the advice boards regularly. It is therefore highly relevant to the audience here.

I value greatly the quality of advice that I give out to others, and this is why I am looking for exactly the sort of people who come to Houzz, to help me to test my course. I would hate to offer an untested product to people, and that is why I am asking people to beta test my course: to make sure that it meets their needs and is genuinely useful. I have had a lot of people apply to be a beta tester already, and so I know that there are many people out there who will see this as a great opportunity.

I am not asking for any money, just people's time and feedback for what I hope will become very helpful training for people in the future.

I'm sorry that you've taken offence to this.

Hi, i am a decorative finisher by trade and work mainly with interior designers to create bespoke surface designs in paint and plaster mediums. i myself would love to try out your course and think its a great idea for general public who are not to sure about where to start with designing an interior.

Speak soon
