    If you need a web site, content is important, but soare images.
    Images and the site layout tell the story. You need tohave a certain
    look to your page, whether contemporary, folk, whimsical, etc. You
    do not want your site to look amateur and going with the cheapest
    bidder isn't always the best bet. 

    1. Make sure the photographs of your work are professional and not
    taken by you with your digital camera. You are a jeweler, not a
    photographer. 

    2. Make sure you have a variety of images in your portfolio. 

    3. Keep the pages consistent with color/theme. 

    4. Do not include TOO much text or you will lose the viewer and they
    will click off of your page.? 

    Trying to save yourself money and do it yourself is great, but
    remember, you aren't a professional graphic designer, you are a
    jeweler. Its better to stick to what you know. 

    If you have any questions or want to talk about having me build you
    a site, feel free to contact me via email. An example of one of my
    sites is: www.spectrumartandjewelry.com 

Best,
