Can I get help with a food menu and logo design? I need to find a web-site that I can download a free "Food Menu Design" template and a "Logo Design" template. Any free software that will allow me to print what I came up with. I do not care if it has the companies watermark or free trial version stamp on it. Looking for something fast and creative.

How can i locate a specific picture/logo being used on the web? Let me be specific, I want to design a logo for my company. I have been working through Green Box software to design my logo. We have agreed upon a design but the problem is that it is a free ware template of that software. I want to know by any chance if some other company is already using that template for their logo. I want to have a logo which is unique. I can do some minor amendments in that template logo design to make it different. After finalizing my logo on website, business cards or letter head, it would be very scary to find out that its already being used by some one else. How can i find out through any sort of search etc that where that specific picture is being used across the web? Your answers will definitely help.

Looking for a free website builder with no ads and no CSS or HTML experience needed? I'm looking for a free website builder where I can design a website without knowing HTML or CSS code. I also want the website to have no ads, and fully customizable. The pre-set themes or templates are often hard to design around my existing banner and logo. I already have a hosting company, so I'd like a website that I can host with another company. Please let me know if you have any reliable sources! Thanks so much.

Bad Business on My Part? ***Note*** I posted this in another category too, so I hope I don't get in trouble but I really need the opinions of people that read and answer in this category too. ***End Note*** OK... I design websites. I do not sell templates. As a matter of fact it is all over my website that I do not do templates, ever. But a little over a year ago a new client came along and said he was looking for a template. He said he wanted a website built that looked cool and that he would update it. I never told him I would give him a template, as a matter of fact I told him that he seemed like a busy guy and that I would be there to do the updating of his site for him. So what I offered him (verbatim) is: ********* $365 Includes: 5-7 page site designed and implemented Hosting if needed Up to 100 Email Addresses (if hosting with me) Flash Design (2 max) Logo Design and / or Manipulation Contact form on site (PHP) Free Updates for the existing content of the site (once site is designed and implemented) 1 Year - 24/7 Support (just email or call me anytime for any reason) Submission of your URL to over 200 Search Engines quarterly After one year, if you like to continue my services I just invoice you an additional $365 on the 1 year anniversary date. ********** Now... The anniversary date has passed. I sent 3 invoices to the email address of the guy that started this agreement. I sent a 30 day notice, a 7 day notice and a 1 day notice. There was no reply to any of them. I waited 10 days after the account was due to be renewed because that is what I say I will do in my Terms Of Service. And on this 10th day I filed a DMCA (copyright infringement) with the company that is hosting his site. I did this because, again, I do not do templates. And in my TOS it says: ********** All web site designs developed by and implemented by <my real name here> will remain the Intellectual Property of <my real name here> and domain names purchased by <my real name here> will not be transferred to the Customer if at any time either <my real name here> or the Customer cancel the Customers account, or the Customer violates any credit terms or other terms associated with this agreement and or their account. ********** and ********** Any artwork, images, or text supplied by and / or designed by <my real name here> on behalf of the customer and / or for use on the clients website, will remain the property of <my real name here>. ********** Among other things. I do not sell templates, I sell a service. If someone thinks they bought my designs, I'm sorry, but they didn't, and I have gone out of my way to make this clear. Anyway, today I get a call from someone else that works at the place I did the site for, actually the owner. He tells me that the person I was working with is no longer with his company, and the whole time he thought what they purchased was a template. I explained to him what I just explained here and I told him that I would sell him the design outright and royalty free for $99. He talked me down to $75. Which is cool. I just don't like my work out there, and people hacking it up and making it look bad which makes me look bad, which is one reason why I hold the rights to my work. The other reason is, since I don't do templates and every site is designed from scratch there is much more work involved, and if someone is done with their site, moves on to another company or whatever, then I am free to take that design with me and sell it to someone else who may have similar needs. I have been doing webs now for over 10 years, and this is honestly the very first time I have been in this situation. I kinda feel like a jerk, and although I had no intention of misleading anyone it appears that there was some confusion. But all in all I think the offer of buying my design for only $75 is a sweet offer to resolve the situation. Am I being a jerk? And if I am, do you think it's justified? Let me know, I really want as many opinions as possible. Thanks Oh, and yesterday I emailed him a payment link for the $75 and he still has not paid.

I need Help putting a template on my Yahoo Small Business website.? I have purchased a template. I have a website using Yahoo small business. I am trying to figure out how to put this template on to my site. I really need help. I am familiar with HTML but not CSS and it uses alot of CSS. Here are the instructions it gives me: BASIC TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS Before getting started you should always duplicate this folder in another location, in order to refer back to original documents when needed. In order to use the same fonts as the sample file you will need to copy and paste the fonts located in your FONTS folder, into your fonts’ folder on your computer. Location Of folder: My Computer/WINDOWS/fonts Refer to the style.css file (located inside the SITE folder, folder name: styles] along with the html web pages) when needing to modify your text, colors, and some background images and colors. View your source code to identify which items you want to modify. This web template is designed in advanced cascading style sheets format. In order to work with this template you will need some understanding of how to use cascading style sheets. To learn more go to http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp. THERE ARE 2 VERSIONS OF LAYOUT DESIGN TO CHOOSE FROM. All web template files for the table-based site are located in the folder named “TABLE BASED SITE”. All web template files for the CSS site are located in the folder named “CSS TABLELESS SITE”. To modify your Business Logo, open the image called “logo-header.psd”, located in your SLICED PSD FILES folder. To do this you will need Adobe Photoshop- or any other software program that handles PSD files. While modifying your logo/header image you may find it easier to embed your “service times/join us” information with it. If you do this, simply delete the current “join us” text/css info from each page. Remember to save the file, in the appropriate format(jpg or gif), to the images folder. Also, be sure that your HTML code reflects your re-named image(s). The same applies to all the images that are modifiable in the SLICED PSD FILES folder. Alternatively, if you do not have Adobe Photoshop you can download a free software program called GIMP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-sharp/) that works similarly to Adobe Photoshop. Another option, if you have difficulty editing your images, is to use the blank images provided inside the blank-extra images folder found in the main directory. ALSO NOTE: There are blank images that can be used in any type of graphic editor inside the folder named “blank images”. All sample text has been left in the template for you to highlight and simply replace with your own text. Again, to modify any of the font colors, sizes, etc, refer to the style.css file (found inside the “styles” folder). For Dreamweaver user’s wanting to edit the content within a scrolling div tag, simply select the outer layer and then double-click. The layer will then expand and you will be able to edit your text without going into the code view. A text navigation bar sample page (nav-sample.html) and css has also been provided for those who find it challenging to change the graphic button images. Please be sure the entire SITE folder is uploaded to your server, including: images folder, styles folder, and all html pages. Our templates do not include any additional scripts. All forms such as search fields, newsletter subscription, or contact information are inactive. By definition, these forms are dynamic functions that require customized setup between the end user and his or her server/host company.  ANYONE CAN HELP? PLEASE!
