Needing to redo my business website, anyone here who could help? :guinness
Been looking at the same thing mate. Have you looked at something like themeforest? Buy a template for as low as $30 or so then add your own photos, words and have complete control over it!

Thanks, but an email would be easier as you don\'t have PM and neither do I ;)

depends what the guy wants really, some people want to spend £50 some want to spend hundred\'s and get the high quality there business deserves.
ChalieP if you give us a brief of some description, colors, name of business etc that would be a great help.

To be fair, I\'m limited on website building skills, but to turn my website from that orange to what it is took quite a bit of CSS coding etc (not just changing the #3c3c3c or whatevra numbers either) and I\'ve added details that weren\'t there before. And it does the job I think.
Like you say depending on what he wants a blog styled site may be the way to go? Easy to update himself or add content which isn\'t so fun on a static website. But things may have changed?

Exactly mate, wasn\'t meaning to step on your toes or anything bud! you\'ve obviously modded the code! on one of your pages you have a picture takes awhile to load as its a massive image that\'s been re-sized if you make it into a thumbnail your self i.e 200x200 or smaller then link it to the bigger image your site will load faster.:Thumbs-up

I was going to PM so we weren\'t to hijack but I have no Idea how :Hammer Can\'t find it anywhere.
Which photo is it mate? Depending on if I\'ve put it in the Gallery plugin it should automatically create the thumbnail for me. I don\'t know what speeds your running up there, but I\'ve got 37MB download so I may have missed it.

That page buddie, not a gallery page. It loads fine once you\'ve seen it once as its cache\'d but if you dont have it cache it takes a wee min. running 20mb up here. just giving you ideas for people with slower connections :)

That site looks quite good. I want to do something with my website and looks like it saves starting from scratch. Anybody else used any of these templates?

Personally don\'t use templates my self make my own unique themes.
with any template you will need some kind of coding experience for editing and customizing to your liking.

My current site is //www.longacrescamping.co.uk
Problems at the moment-
1. Very slow to load sometimes
2. Doesnt fit all browsers well
3. Need to change some text, i.e. on white background so easier to read

Thanks. I did do my website just in HTML - but it was very very basic (it was more to learn how to do it). I notice some of the templates are in Photoshop, which I do have as well.
I might have a play when I get a chance.

Regards the Photoshop files they have no doubt Setup a SLICE on them so you edit within the lines proceed and save them as the correct name provided. save to folder and upload.
if anyone needs hosting i offer a friendly, cost effective service. at the minute im redesigning my site to work around a billing package so its automatic and all accounts are created as soon as uve paid for it.
