Very nice design. Direct link:

Suggestion: put design as 1 instead of 4. Also, putting your email in the same line as "talk to me at:", or aligned, would convey the information better.

I agree with the last suggestion. The "Talk to me at: (email address)" part looks strange.

Fantastic design, amazing for a first project! You definitely want to add the amount people have donated so far, it would be a nice motivation.

Love the design too. While you're at it, you may want to change the link for your email to "mailto:francine@willworkforamac.com" instead.

It's currently linking to "http://willworkforamac.com/francine@willworkforamac.com

Hi! Aw, thanks for your support =) I hear some mean things about PayPal sometimes too! Unfortunately it was the simplest donation process I knew how to implement (I was checking out Stripe but there was a lot of API/developer stuff I didn't understand--my friend had to help me install my Mixpanel trackers because I didn't really understand Javascript either), and it seemed like a convenient way for people to donate.…

Check out www.wepay.com. Full disclosure, I use them and they're awesome.

Came here to say this, I used wepay.com to raise money from family and friends to buy my brother-in-law a birthday present. They are super easy to use, and super easy to get ahold of a real person if you run into problems.

I'd be interested to know the percentage of date requests (mildly put) donuts will receive through her site. Hope this won't end in a stalking disaster.

Very nice site, I'd donate if I weren't saving to buy my own MacBook (probably would also help if I had a PayPal account)

I know exactly how it is to lack a mac. I've been a Windows user up until about a month ago, when I finally threw my hands up and said "screw this, I'm getting Ubuntu" (surprisingly, Photoshop works on Linux quite painlessly)

Best of luck in getting a Mac and I hope it serves you well!
