Greetings!
If
you would like for me to assist you with showing off your dogs, hobby or
business, please fill out the form listed below as best you can so that
it will allow me to "see" into your
ideas
for a new Web Site!
Here
are some basic tips on what I am looking for when
I
start to design a new site....
I
will first tell you that everyone has to have a domain name and hosting
to get started. A domain name is the (www.forexample.com) that you
need for people to locate you. The domain service I utilize is less
than 10 dollars per year. Renewed annually.
Then
one must have a host. This is the space that your Web Site resides on for
people to view the pages. The hosting service I utilize costs less
than 40 dollars per year. Renewed annually.
You
may use a free host, but with multiple hits it will close down and will
also display those aggravating banner ads!
I
need for you to pick out a background layout that you like.
Each
Web Site in my portfolio has listed below it, the type of background used.
I
also need you to decide what type pages you want on your site and what
colors you like best to use for it.
Each
home page, which is entitled, the "index page", will include with no extra
charge, the guestbook and counter, and music if desired but will slow down
the loading of the page, especially noted in computers still on dial-up.
The
guestbook and counter have banner ads, but can be changed to no banners
for a small yearly fee.
Otherwise,
their services are free.
Another
issue would be pictures. The more pictures you want on a page, the
slower it loads. I remember when I was still on dialup, I often times clicked
off the site if it didn't load like I wanted it to! Therefore, losing
people to other sites.
I
recommend using 10 or less pictures per page for optimal download time.
My
sites are built on a screen resolution of 800x600. Please change
your settings within your computer's control panel to view at optimal resolution.
My
designs are not limited to the Boxer Breed... all other breeds welcome
as well as commercial sites.
