My website WIP, plus I need your help

[deetz58]

I have been working on my site for a little while. I went through godaddy and still have to pay the extra to remove their banner from the top of my site. I want to get it up and going fully before I pay the extra. What I don't like is that it only allows five pages, so I am having a hard time figuring out how to make a proffessional looking gallery on my site. If anyone has any good ideas please let me know.

5 pages only? Shit deal if ya ask me.

I say...1 automotive, 2 bike´s, 3 all the other art...4 guestbook...5 ´about yaself´

Tuffy..I'd loose the services page..You pretty much cover what ya do in the intro and all...Seems ya got the best for a gallery on tight space, in a slideshow...

Off track observation..On yer about the artist page...I noticed you say yer name like 15 times..hahaha...I didn't count but saw waaay more than 5 I'm pretty sure...Just seemed a bit overkill, "Mike this and Mike that"..LOL...No biggie or anything..Just cracked me up a bit:D

Looking good though for being limited :welldone:

Hey Deetz! Don't mess with godaddy's fees, take your domain over to http://www.synthasite.com tottally free, no ads/banners, build as many pages as you like. Been using them since June and there's really no catch. Email me if you need help on this.

If you pay for the hosting with go-daddy, the website hosting includes some programs that will handle the gallery.
These 2 are icluded in the package..

Personally, I like coppermine the best.

Or, you can add a forum with a gallery, which should be supplied in your paid hosting account.
We have one of our smaller websites on Go-daddy and use a different hosting company for our 2 larger websites.

My main website has a gallery in the forum, but we don't use it a lot. :wink2:

The one thing you want to consider is what you get for your money.
Databases are needed if you want to run any programs. PHP and CGI
The other is, how quick do their servers run. On most shared hosting servers, if they get a lot of websites on one server, it may slow things down sometimes.

Read the terms of service thoroughly. Some webhostings have restrictions on a lot of things.

Do the servers have backups or do you back up manually?
Be sure to back it up, especially if you have a lot on your website.
A server crash can cause you a ton of work, if you don't have everything backed up.

Get Macromedia Dreamweaver. It will save you a ton of time and hassles, plus has downloadable templates to make things easier.

Hope this helps.
These are a couple of my websites.

Kind of boring sites, if you aren't into automotive stuff. :wink2:
