Hi Ben - keep up the good work, mate - it's good to see a bit of entrepreneurial spirit :)

I'm right with Eagle on the graphics app thing. You'll get lots of angry clients if you only submit bitmaps. A lot of clients like to be able to scale things, plus bitmaps, even at super-high resolutions, can look really iffy when printed on to gloss.

You don't need to spend a fortune on softs, either: download MS Acrylic/Expression from www.microsoft.com/products/expression/ - it's not quite as good as Illustrator, but it should do the job very well and let you create full scaleable vectors that you can save in .eps and similar formats.

Also, check the spelling, punctutation and grammar on the site: "letterheads" for example, has two "t"s.
