    Gradients on a logo?

    99% of logos are created in Adobe Illustrator. This is the industry standard graphics tool of choice for every graphic designer. If gradients were a problem, you'd have to remove about 70% of the worlds branding Lol! Vector gradients can be scaled up or down without any image degredation. To...

    Thanks for the advice. But i notice many members here are promoting their services and recommending others; and some show their domain name after a thread. Seems unfair!

    Help finding a good SEO company

    Be very careful with SEO consultants. 90% are just crooks looking to take your cash in return for empty promises. Its an unregulated area and people setting up from back rooms with websites and telephone. I would suggest you buy a good seo book - written in the last 10 months, and study it...

    Two websites for same company, am I wrong for doing this?

    Hi TommyGG, yes, you are right about brand building and i would agree that 1 site encompassing all services is the best way to go. But many big companies in high competition areas are funnelling in traffic from more than one site. It depends on the service and product(s) too. I'm not suggesting...

    Newbe needing advice :)

    I agree with websitehandyman. If i was you, i'd migrate the blog over to wordpress - self hosted. You could make some serious money just by putting affiliate adds on your site and earning commission. Wish i got that number of visitors wow! Can you see? You've found a niche man! Keep it quiet...

    registering a domain name

    No worries Fisicx. As Rudi said, i didn't say 'Host with Godaddy'. I recommended buying domains from them only or namecheap.com, but hosting with a UK based company - Heart internet, 1&1 etc. Have a good weekend all!
