I took a free template and modified it little by little. Here is the final result: http://www.newshotstudio.com Where should I add a news box? Where should I put advertisements if I ever want them? Thanks in advance!
Site looks good! Don't like the scrolling title. It's a bit jerky and does not tell me straight away the title of your website. Replace it with a static title of your website, better for branding. Text on the button could be a bit smaller, and different font? Also the graphics on your website are huge and take a long time to load. Also probably won't be good for bandwidth later. Try reducing size/quality of the pictures used. Same applies to the thumbnails. Try to use thumnails instead of just resizing the pictures. The forum you have tried to integrate. But i think matching buttons, same header/pic, same page width would help. Ads could be added under header section.Or under new video / more.
I tried to fix my images, but Paint.net made it worse. I then downloaded a few programs that compress images and they replace the blank spaces with the color white, so it destroys the image. Which program should I use to make my images smaller?
