Google ads are money

I place ads on my web page because I can eventually earn money with it. These are sites that pay by click. Say someone goes onto my site and clicks on the links. I make a few cents every time they are clicked. Just a way of helping the income. Its called adsense by google. Take a peak!. I would rather it was just my art but hey... what the heck right, lil' extra income.

Check out our website for our new company:

http://www.gotgotneed.com

The opening page is very a straightforward logo, but I've tried to make the rest of the site avoid the iWeb look. It's quite Quicktime heavy, so would appreciate comments on download time etc. All thoughts welcome.

I'd love to get some simple animation in there, roll over buttons etc. but have no html knowledge. Any suggestions?

Cheers.

Okay, I'll bite... How did you really make this site?
 
Thanks Fiasco. I just tried to find ways of avoiding everything iWeb seemed to insist on. Like a menu at the top with a default font, which I turned off, and made my own buttons as hyperlinks to other pages. My business partner made a company DVD with a similar layout so I thought I'd try and replicate elements of that in some way. Unlike my previous Photoshop-heavy attempts, I made this almost entirely in iWeb, with their shapes, grads etc. which was really manageable. I really like the software in it's ease of use. It's definitely got its limitations (like no built in rollover buttons) but otherwise it's a great way to get a site online with little or no web experience, and a bit of imagination/determination. Cheers.

Italian iweb site

Here is my iweb site, it's in italian but hopefully easy enough to navigate to get a rough idea. It also makes use of Mal's E-commerce tools, and that is a real plus for me.

Here is the link

Let me know what you think

Ok, here's my try at making it look different than the given templates.
The site is done with Iweb, the forum isn't.

"Wicked-sick" cool mate!!!

PS: I loved reading "A sound of thunder" as a kid. I don't like what they did with the movie in having "waves of space time" change the future in sequences, because in the book they just journeyed back into the future and found it all different. So although some of their plot needed a little more explanation, your illustrations are just beyond cool!

I'll also add that I found the site design very, very cool, (and reminded me a little of "Children of the Lost city" with some of the retro-futurama stuff), but just a little wide. But overall, way, way cool. Maybe I just love the themes hey? ;)

I'm interested in what other professional web designers think of this approach — just "scroll right" to see all the images. I don't know if I've seen that before on a portfolio piece but it seems to work. What do others think?

I like it too, however I don't think it would work in any other context.

I just revised my website. Nothing fancy. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Adam, the text looks OK in Safari but does not really increase in size... but in Firefox the text was all over the place.

Hi all, is Firefox an issue with iWeb? I mainly use Firefox (because I'm a rabid blogger and Safari has issues with that) but it seems that Firefox is having trouble with text display in iWeb pages... or maybe that is pages hosted on .mac accounts? I'll start another thread.
 
Using domain from different host to iweb???

I'm trying to start up a small business website and I recently purchased a domain/hosting service from lunarpages. I never created a website before and have no idea what I'm doing. I cannot afford someone to build it for me and I feel like pulling out my hair trying to do it myself. I checked out a demo for iweb and it seems easy enough. However, if I cancel my subscription from lunarpages and keep my domain, can I transfer my domain to iweb? If so, how? Also, do I have to register for a .mac account?
 
iweb site...

Ok...here's my site...a band site...one thing that wouldn't work for me and I see it's been a problem for others...is the slide show...when posted none of the photos showed up they were all black...anyone with an explanation?...but when you see what i've done instead...well i've decided not to worry about it as i prefer the alternative used. Check it out... and while you're there have a listen to the music ...great original sound coming out of Montreal!

Hi Lucky, domain hosting and the software you use are usually 2 totally different things. You should be able to use iWeb with any service out there OK? If it's your first time doing a website, make sure you read through all the iWeb tutorial stuff you can take, ask questions here, and then when you've completely tried and tested the website preview functions (usually a browser buttons in the few other web design packages I've tried) and have clicked around and checked it looks the way you like it, then and only then publish the site to your Lunar pages account.

Can you cancel it? I don't know anything about Lunar pages and it might be perfectly fine, but always ask here first about hosts. There's some really good deals out there. Lunar's probably fine though, and if you are in a contract for a year that's fine as well, just keep us in mind for next year's subscription — we can help you find a good deal.

Note on publishing: keep all the emails from Lunar cause you'll need the server directory and passwords to enter into the iweb publishing page.

Relax, you'll learn this stuff one day. Play with it. It's fun. You're at the front of a smallish learning curve (if you're not going into professional web design) — so play with iWeb, read a few basic tutorials, and you should be fine in a few weeks and publishing stuff. But right now, learn by doing. Click on stuff. Change stuff. Radically alter stuff. And then preview how it all works... find that "browser" preview button thing iWeb MUST have....

...anyone with iWeb help LuckyLevy out?

The poster before me gave you some really great advice but I would add a little something and it may be controversial. If as you state you really don't know what you are doing you might want to check out .mac. They offer a trial subscription. You can get it when you are ready to publish to try it out. This is the easiest way and the least problematic for a novice. You click one button and you're done. I know someone will say it's slow or any other negatives but I have yet to find anything that does not have its supporters and its haters. Costs nothing to try.
Best of luck
 
Would lucky then have to do "domain forwarding"?

Personally I think once Lucky's only got to get the 3 bits of information from Lunar and Lucky's fine.

1. hostname
2. username
3. Password

That's not too hard is it? Once Lucky's got them in his iWeb publisher account FTP page (whatever it's called in iWeb) Lucky's fine hey? See, Lucky's already paid for a domain and hosting service. Once anyone types in the above 3 answers into iWeb, you can publish the whole site with one click can't you? iWeb has SITE publish button doesn't it? Or is it image by image and page by page?
