1. These downloads can hide computer viruses.

2. There is nothing that screams 'amateur web designer' more.

INTERNET SECURITY
I recently gave a talk at a home schooling convention on Inernet security. In preparing for the talk I did a lot of research and discovered how dangerous many of these free downloads can be.

It is easy for the unscrupulous to add computer viruses to these download.s Unless you have software to detect these ugly bugs, you are wiser to avoid them completely.

(If you want to learn more about Internet security, please send me an email. If there is enough interest I could do a webinar on the topic.)

AMATEUR WEB DESIGN
There are several dead give aways for an amateur designed website:

** Overuse of cheap clip art
** Animated gifs - too much
** Complex backgrounds
** Inconsistent site colors/colors that don't match
** Huge graphics that take forever to download


Now, before I condemn too much, let me admit - "Been there, done that" !!!

I was so excited when I first started learning web design at all the cool things I could do. I went overboard with the graphics and the distractions.
It wasn't until I started taking classes that I realized all the mistakes I was making.

Your website reflects you and your business. A cheap looking website translates to a cheap business.

Take a critical eye to your website and see if your graphics are enhancing your credibility or detracting.


NOTE: One of the most valuable bonuses of the Website
Design class is the video on "Website Critiques". The critique was done b a master web designer.

Everyone on that webinar learned what to look for in good web design, how not confuse a visitor, where to place your offer and much, much more.

If you are enrolled in the Website Design Class, you will get access to this recording as a part of the class.

BUT it is not too late. You have only missed one class which was recorded. If you sign up today, I will work with you to get caught up and learn proper web design.
