ok, I guess the problem here is that some of us design websites for a living, some of us don't.
Some of us design expensive websites for a living and some of us do it rather more cheaply.
Some of us have absolutley no design skills at all, so either need to pay someone to do it for us (with varying budgets) or attempt to have a go using Front Page or similar.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if budgets are tight, a homemade site is something we are just going to have to put up with, untill some more money comes along. So perhaps we all need to be a bit more sensitive to that possibilty.
Creospace, your reply did seem a bit harsh (although you did offer constructive critisism about browser/compatability issues
and you offered to help out, which is typical of the generosity on UKBF)
Elite, you were being a tad rude, but it is easy to take these things personally (bit like someone telling you, that your baby is ugly)
Anyway, for the record, I do happen to have my own website which I designed myself (frontpage -heaven forfend!), but I am currantly having it professionally redesigned.
Have to say though, that in the currant climate, I will never ever ever show it to you, not never (even if you beg and offer me sweets!) :wink:
