thanks Chris and Gail I think that right click protect ( used to be a little javascript) is important to keep the "honest" honest..... I am, still at this point (although using Adobe products) imbedded in the PC world. if that has any bearing on the suggestions.. Also, I have spoken to my tech guy (nephew) and it seems he prefers to do something from Wordpress because of wider range of templates and coding options. I am not sure where we will go for server space hosting... currently I have the domain names secured, thats about it... so as far as the nuts and bolts of the project, I will go with his tendencies and adapt.. (hopefully I won't have to learn too many nuts and bolts) My personal initial concern is concept and appearance and navigation. Ideas. so I am hoping to gather together links to Cool sites that look and flow well and keep viewer interest. I would like to point to feature of any of these and say... "can we do something similar, but....." and " I want to use this for the splash page , maybe an animated logo, and have it do this, and link to these", etc..... I would like to avoid the traps that cause folks to loose interest and leave... any pointers for these ideas are helpful. and largely it should allow folks to access a shopping cart to be able purchase originals and repros, along with pages about freelance work and commissions.. Not too much to ask, no ?/ ha ha the best thing I can do right now is to process images of the art and illustrations I have and that might/will use into web sized and prepared versions... systematic enough, I can do that in Photoshop... I will continue to look for suggestions here and on the FB page, and hope to have some good conceptual ideas and maybe like a storyboard? worked out for when my nephew comes up to the studio in a couple days... I'll keep you posted as to progress... thanks for the help , all.. Stephen On 10/22/2017 2:08 PM, Chris Gralapp wrote: > Hi Gail, > > Yes, I also made a site in Adobe Muse, as well.
