Tips for Making my own Site?

[Casper1]

If you are really serious about advertising your product and want it done well, you are going to need to hire a web designer. If you want to handle it yourself you are going to have to learn a lot about web design and several different technologies before you can get what you want.

To answer your photo question, you will need to resize them and perhaps use a higher level of compression to get the file size down. 1024 x 768 is the maximum resolution for most photos, but really you should resize them to be no larger than the size you want them to fit in.

If you want good quality on your images, don't drop the quality on the JPEG compression below 60% unless you really need the reduction.

I can suggest a few things. I know a bit about this--I have nerdy friends. You can outright buy your own domain and that's fairly cheap, but it's not going to show you how to design anything. I would suggest Goddard or Homestead. I would also suggest you use something like Dreamweaver to design the site. Homestead has it's own designing suite, but I think that costs extra. Also, knowing a little HTML will help you a lot.

Hi guys,

This thread is quite old - I now have my site online (link in my sig). I ended up spending a weekend learning HTML/CSS and writing the site from scratch

Thanks for the tips though!
