Who handles your web hosting?

Oh, one more thing. Make sure to resize your images to no larger than 500px on the longest side at a resolution of 72 (a monitor can’t see any better than 72 so you are wasting space each time it loads). Uh, I’ve been a pro photographer since '74 so and have 1000’s of photos on my photo site without running out of bandwidth by resizing.

Next time you decide to move your site, check out Arvixe. I have been with them for about five years now and they are very reasonable. You can also host multiple sites at one low price (I sound like a salesman - I am not, though). Also, it looks like you are using WordPress or similar. Be careful to shut off comments or they can use up bandwidth very quickly. You would have to have hundreds or even thousands of hits per day to exceed your bandwidth unless you are with a smaller local guy who keeps the bandwidth low so he doesn’t have to pay more.

Also, if you are using WordPress, you don’t really need a web designer, you can do it yourself. There is a little learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty quick and you can make immediate changes instead of waiting for the designer to do it.

Just a thought…

Yeah, I was getting ready to start learning WordPress for some sites I need but with the [B]new killer member discount from Ambidextrous Services[/B] I don’t have to have a “look Mommy, I did it myself!” website!

I was never much into the “I Love Me” walls - or sites. I just figure I’m not working enough yet to take up all of my time so I might as well keep control of the site stuff (control freak I guess). Besides, $700 to $1300 goes a long way toward a nice night out with the wife (or a new pressure washer if she doesn’t know about the savings).

Good luck with your new site design though… they have some nice templates to work with.

I was definitely referring to my skill level, not yours.
