  1. I need some constructive criticism on my website

    Take Swannn's advice and use a template. They are free all over the internet, and will instantly improve your site 100%. I agree that a website should be a sales tool to entice customers to call you, but honestly, you would probably be better off with no website until you get something that...
  2. My new site built on Wordpress

    I used a program called Artisteer to customize my template. It probably doesn't give as much artistic freedom as some may desire, but I found it to have plenty of customization for what I needed. You don't really need to know any code unless you want to get into little details. I had to edit a...
  3. My new site built on Wordpress

    thanks Mosh, I'll give it a try... Just changed a few things on the site... darker background behind text and larger font in both articles and menus. I think it's getting better.
  4. My new site built on Wordpress

    Sign Boy: I've got somewhere between 15-20 hours in it right now, but that is mostly because I don't know what the hell I am doing and keep finding things that I want to change, probably could've had it done in 6-8 hours if I knew exactly what I wanted. Mosh: We are an independent business, no...
  5. My new site built on Wordpress

    I'm thinking the same thing, gotta go in and change the template, and go back and edit all the lines of code I removed in the style sheets to get it the way I want it, uggghh. Thanks!
  6. My new site built on Wordpress

    I used the NextGen gallery plugin, it leaves a little room for customization.
  7. My new site built on Wordpress

    Before the bashing begins, I am NOT a web designer. I hate my previous website, and it is painful to update, so this time around I decided to use Wordpress as the base for my site. Through making my own template etc. I have come up with what I think is a workable solution. The site is not...
  8. how is business so far this year

    Sllllllooooowwwwww...... been using this time to redesign my website and work on some new marketing materials. I will be hitting the marketing hard at the beginning of March. I want to make this a record year, or at least make one hell of an effort to make it that way..
  9. I need some inspiration

    Oh but he's not, Bob doesn't joke....
  10. I need some inspiration

    Bob, are you serious? Let's see your storefront!? I think that this one has plenty of potential, it looks nice and clean from the photo....
  11. Thoughts/Opinions on BBQ Sign

    can't turn it sideways, pole configuration cannot be altered, so I am stuck with the vertical layout unfortunately. Thanks for the ideas, I am going to work on it a little more....
  12. Thoughts/Opinions on BBQ Sign

    Agreed.... actually this customer was originally going to call the business "The Pit" but evidently the name was already registered, so they had to change it.
  13. Thoughts/Opinions on BBQ Sign

    This customer came to me and basically told me to go nuts with a design for their sign, total freedom on this thing. Size cannot exceed 32"w x 48"h. One idea they had and really would love to see is moving flames on the sign. I do not see a practical way to do this, so here is what I have come...
  14. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    This is exactly that same way I feel about it..... I just couldn't explain it as well as you. :thumb:
  15. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    Very cool.... after a few years of owning a smartphone, I am still in awe at the things I can do with it. For example: my wife's friends were planning a surprise birthday party for her at a local restaurant. My wife has a blackberry in which she has a GPS tracker app installed. I gave her friend...
  16. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    a new one costs around $2k, but a lightly used unit goes for around $700-$900 depending on options. If this iPad goes well for Apple, we will see a slew of new tablets come from all of the pc manufacturers shortly
  17. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    no multitasking is STUPID! There is NO wow factor in this thing, besides being really thin with a nice display. Great battery life is probably relative to the fact that it can't multi-task. This thing doesn't even come close to my Motion Computing LE1700, which is close to the same size but...
  18. Looking for a heavy A frame sidewalk sign.

    build your own! Looks more custom and can be as heavy as you want.... make more $$ on them too.
  19. Paper backing from vinyl..is it biodegradable?

    I have reused backing paper from my laminator (usually ends up being one LOOOONG roll of paper on the take-up reel) and use it on the floor when painting things etc. I use Oraguard so it has a nice grid printed on the back of it that comes in handy when cutting it down for various purposes...
  20. Got a really fun job, but how do I do it? Print on anodized aluminum?

    it's only 1 color with reverse (knock out) text, RED. Can this be done with laser or acid etch? Thank you all for the suggestions.
