doesn't the site where you registered it give you any information? i used register.com and they have great packages and a webpage took my only about a 4-5 hours to set up.

Hi - I just wanted to let you know how HAPPY I am with my website. I used "SpireCreative.com", and worked with Adam Bragg. If you contact him, tell him I sent you, please! =) He has beginning packages at $199, and you can check-out his work at www.OCakes.com (my website). I also receive e-mails to a separate business e-mail account (which was free), so my customers reach me at "[email protected]". ALSO, he pointed me to another sight where I can track how many hits my website gets, every day! Anyway, I wanted to tell you about him, because my website has been my store front & it has been wonderful!

I have a site nothing fancy just galleries on it. I paid under $20.00 for my domain name and my friend host it. I do all my own uploads and work on my site.

I have a website with over 1800 pictures in 5 public galleries and 1 hidden gallery (a password-required "naughty cake" gallery) My website was created, for free, by a friend in the UK, and is hosted by him at no charge. I could not be happier with this arrangement. icon_biggrin.gif

Very cool you guys were able to get the sites for so low! Lucky to have those type of friends. My website designer is an old friend too! So, he's given me quite a few tips, like taking pictures without flash, and if at all possible, use natural light, etc... but one thing he does, which is why I don't upload my own pictures, is that he "minimizes" the size of my pictures. I'm not sure how he does it, but customers are able to click through my gallery fairly quickly, where if I would upload, the pictures would take forever to open - just a thought incase it would help you guys!

SugarFrosted - I would LOVE to see your site with all those pictures! WOW! =)

My husband found a website where you can buy back grounds and alter them for your own website.

Here is mine if you wanna check it out.

www.everylastcrumb.com

I think it cost us $80 for the template and then I pay $10 a month through godaddy.com to host it.

jojo1, I bet your cake turned out great and I would love to see it!

I use Viva paper towel on 99% of my cakes, to smooth the big areas and the small areas, but especially the sides. I should buy stock in the Viva Company. I LOVE VIVA! Viva VIVA!

It's all GOOD! thumbs_up.gif

SugarFrosted: I thank you for pointing-out the obvious - ha ha ha!!! I'm pretty embarrassed I asked you for your web address, when I KNOW they're normally listed at the bottom (duh!). Thanks, I'm going to look now! =)
