Website Design

I am Christina Angeloni- a Webmaster and Graphics Designer, sample work: http://akathewebmaster.com/samp
The image for Gorilla Sports Nutrition was published in April 2008 Powerlifters Magazine. The real difference between web and print graphics is resolution (print needs mighty res) and  you know what size printed material will be shown at. I do both. I do logos, banners, brochures, splash pages and websites. I use Quick Web Creations and for newbies who want to do it themselves, I suggest:

Graphics Free Editors

Online:

Quick Web Creations Text an box ad creator

Picnik Online Image Editor

For your Computer:

Serif Software This is almost as powerful as Photoshop and it is free. I use the purchased version and Serif also makes a pdf, animator and drawing program.

NVU HTML Editor Free WYSIWYG Download is from CNET a company I trust.

Free HTML Editor with over 100 templates: My Free Website Builder
Easy; shows both source code and WYSIWYG

I also sell over 1,000 templates in the Right On Target Store. Some are Flash driven with a small text file. Ask me- I am on Twitter, and use the messengers for online appointments-or live chat.

Right now Microsoft has a new (free) program  Microsoft Office Live Small Business Home sign up for a hotmail account and a go live account -both free and you can get a website hosted free-designed with their online designer - they give you a domain name, (or you can transfer a godaddy domain name) with 500 meg free hosting and so many free options anyone can have a website with rss feeds and blog (modules).  I built one- East Coast Graphics.  If you want a store its $14.95 per month comparable to Ebay. You can remove the search box and go live icon.  This is better than Vista Print's offer. You can choose so many design options -it is alot less likely you will be duplicated. You can also use you own logo and customized header. You can also choose to upload an entire website using 3rd party software-100% customized.  This is the best deal going-even if you already have a site, I suggest building one and linking to yours, giving your website rating a boost. You can always get this tweaked by a designer down the road.  This program also allows you to add HTML snippets. (affiliate marketing) and meta tags (SEO). I am going to blog this.
