I think most know my views on "home-made" websites. They haven't gone down too well in the past (apologies to all who were offended ).

Unless you are very proficiant with graphic/web design and S.E.O, my advice would be to save up the pennies and hire a professional.

my graphic skills are quite good to be honest.

So why didn't you use them on your banner then?

[501damian501]

i feel my banner is perectly fine, does what it needs to, its bold, stands out ect, i can always use fanicy colours, shading and the rest of it, but thats to much for the eye.

Apology accepted.

But - Does anyone gain extra bookings as a result of having a 'flashy', possibly non-compliant web site? If I pay £400 for someone to 'design' a web page, will I recover that in extra bookings?

I don't know, and I'm sure there's no easy way to find out - pity though, as it would be an interesting survey.

Incidentally, my web site is home made, and most certainly looks it, (reflects my target audience?) but I have had 3 people in the last few months making a point of commenting on how easy the site was to read, and that all the information they needed was there - this was comared to sites of other local discos they had looked at.

I must be doing something right.

Incidentally, I've looked at the code for some 'professionally' designed web sites and was a little surprised and disheartened to see machine-generated code. If I was to pay huge sums for a web designer, I'd at least expect him/her to be able to write the code himself. Don't you agree?

I disagree, Ive seen sites by so called professional web designers that look a lot more home made than yours. the only fault I can find with it is I hate white on black websites.
