Newbie Project Of the Week

We have, in the past couple of months, finished our late winter projects. If you have Not, then look outside, it's here and you better hump it. We will be doing a summer project this week

A "Wish for Summer" project.
We are going to brighten things up on your sites. This gives cabin fever surfers cheer and we will use it as a sales tool :) Use this same technique on all your sites and galleries. For this project we will be making a simple free site that has a bright illusion to it, and some AVS entrances.

Pick one of these types of sites to make:

Normal layout for a free site:

1. Approx. 20 thumbnail pics.
   
2. Entrance page that's mirrored for several sets of 6-9 recips.
   
3. Several AVS entrances
   
4. Everything is search engine(SE) ready and will be submitted.
   
5. Main page and a couple of gallery pages.
   
6. Your unique style to make it all yours.

This project is as simple as using a different type of background. Doing this will give it a more unique feel and if done right, brighten the place up for better listings. It also looks very professional for reviewed SE listings.

The background you are going to make should be bright and cheerful, like the background on this page.

To make this background you should follow these simple steps.
First, with any graphic program you have, make a blank image that is 10 to 15 pixels wide and 700 pixels long. Add in bright color areas where your logos and special links will be. Play with it and tweak it to fit if need be. Even nice bright gradient colors like on this page will work great. You'll find you can do thousands of variations with these. Small picture inserts on these Hbar backgrounds can work great for themed sites.

Save as a .jpg file and put in the directory/folder of the site. In you BODY tag you need to insert background="jpgname.jpg" (putting in your image name of course). These should typically be 2k to 4k each and very fast loading. You can use this entire theme throughout the whole site or create new ones to match each page of the site. But I suggest you come up with one for the entire site for this project.

Now go get creative and brighten up your next site to pull those surfers out of their cabin fever!
