    Hi Folks,

    My buddy and I are going to be discussing a site redesign for his site. He is an artist and cartoonist so he wants to ensure that the message (skills/ability) gets out through his illustrations. When I say "message", I mean, he wants his illustrations to intise or draw potential clients to use him for his skills and abilities. We also want to ensure good SEO and SERPS.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for site design or examples of similar sites. His site is www.cartoonistsonline.com.

    thanks in advance

    Because the site is just a big portfolio right? and since its all about drawings, try to design the site asif it was on a piece of paper, hope you understand what I mean :) heres an example http://landing.ancestry.com/military/vday/ , dont look at the theme, just the layout. Hope this helps!

    Tommie thanks for the tip, its great.
    Sebasic - yes it is and we would like to make sure the proper optimization is in place which means content (words) , not just a portfolio of pictures.
    thanks and cheers

    it sounds alright... but if you look at the trend of addictinggames.com and addictingclips.com... addictingcartoons is going to be worth a lot.
