howdy, first time website creation and selling yourself are always hard to do.

I would suggest not going near a computer for the early design stages.

Sit down with a pen and paper and think about what you want to say, both about yourself and your talents.

Think do i want a gallery, pricing, pics of me working etc?

Think about a general design that works for you, were you want your navigation, your logo, your page content etc.

If your new to any web design think simple, think clean, neat and professional.

Dont get carried away with swirly graphics, flashing images etc, if 1) you arent capable of doing it, (Keep it Simple) 2) cause it looks nasty!

Once you have an idea of what you want in your head, people on here should be able to help you fill in the fine details, but essentially only you know your business and yourself.

Hope this helps

Pete

Tony, do you still want me to re-size the images on your website? If so, please send me your email address so I can send them to you. I've done the first four, and can do the rest if you like.

Cheers,
