    Linkedin Image

    Make the image 500x500 pixels for the logo and the banner 650x220... that should be fine. If the images show as poor resolution double the sizes above e.g. 500x500 1000x1000 2000x2000 etc...

    Stock Photos

    We used iStockPhoto when they first started but then the prices went up and we found the portfolio quality went down too. Recently found DepositPhotos to be good. Subscription prices value for money and Web Designer magazine normally has adverts from them with 20% off codes.

    Basic Web Design software a kid could use?

    Agree with DotNetWebs, learning the basics first is an important start. Afterwards, move onto web editors like Microsoft WebMatrix or sites like Microsoft DreamSpark.

    For VOIP I was thinking a separate broadband line

    How difficult is it to build a fully functional comparison site?

    Hi Jat33, I agree with codefish's comments. Our sister company did a similar project for a client. The easy part is building the website. The hard part is afterwards, persuading visitors to come to your website. This takes a lot of hard work, time and patience. Unless you signup VC's to hand...

    Found this post and thought, great I could do with one of those Nextivity boosters for my O2 phone in the house. Then I looked at the price £460 :(

    For VOIP I was thinking a separate broadband line

    Hi Page, We started using VOIP on our existing broadband line with Gradwell six years ago. We found through experience, that a separate broadband line (Different ISP to the 1st line for redundancy too) and router works best. We don't have any of the teething problems we experienced since moving...

    Drive D: Error

    Hi, I know it doesn't help in this case, a future suggestion might be to use an external hard drive to backup your files next time. Most come with pre-built backup software. The first time you plug it into your PC, either let the software decide what to backup (Docs, emails, music, etc) or...
