    Hi there,

    I've just learned that making "Buy Now" links red is a no no, so I need to come up with another colour & this might be difficult considering not many colours will work with my site design.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks & have a great day!

    why not just make it the standard blue.... it's simple.... people know it's a link and on your site it would stand out because your menu links are a different color.

    btw, your sample 1 link goes to a 404 :) one this page

    It's headology, yep. The default colours are blue for new, and red for read. If you choose red for the link colour you tend to confuse folk, plays with their heads...

    It's their first time on your site and - just as the wife look over your shoulder* :eek: - you are told you've visited all the links.

    Actually you are using a reddy-brown rather than true red, but if I was you I've try darker shades of brown, see what works best. Also, try making the hover link blue, that will make the links stand out without affecting the overall earthy style of the site


    :D To wife: *Behave woman, that 'urts, I was only looking, honest!

    LOL, you are funny Malachim & token20

    Ok, I need the colour ONLY for the buy links & I'm assuming that's also for my pricelist page www.exoticpublishing.com/price_list.php

    Kaptain I think blue would clash w/ the colour scheme.

    Malachim dark brown might work & I'm not even sure I have a hover colour now.

    The site is being totally redone code wise, so all these errors, mistakes SHOULD be gone when I finally find a graphic web designer & flash developer to do the work the WD needs to move forward AND, of course give him the link colour.

    Thanks :)
