I designed in Powerpoint ....
I have a bad feeling about this as I may have to re-design but anyway. To make a long story painful...I originally designed a website on ppt., content, graphics, format for forms etc - probably as long as two years ago....didn't even know about WYSIWYG stuff back then.
I handed it over to a web designer and an SEO guy and said thanks very much...come back with the finished product...which they did. Anyway was in the middle of testing this with friends, friends of friends etc. when I moved from Ireland to the US, so basically it was never open to the general public so to speak, so the domain lapsed (kicking myself) someone has now taken my chosen name in .com .net .info - what's even worse is that it in no way relates to their product !!! (warning to others, if you find the perfect domain - KEEP IT!)
So here I am and I want to start this project again, but this time doing it myself on BV, but I am particularly worried about the graphics I created - actually it is a type of membership card with photo and quite a bit of text detail (back & front)
Here are my questions: (finally ...says ye!)
1. What programme shall I use to create the membership cards - I can't get the ppt. ones to load in BV. Even though I am still very much an amateur, I recognise the need for not only good graphics but more importantly I want this card to be interactive in that the customer fills in all their details and can preview prior to purchase. If this has to come at a later stage, so be it and I don't mind if there is a learning curve.
2. I am also in the process of building another site on BV and am using one of the free templates. Lovely beach type graphic but I seem to be stretching the image as it has a border around it and I have inputted text within it. Is there a way of manipulating this image to not stretch? Did I see somewhere about 'Adobe'?
3. Anyone have the code to insert a general 'Google search box' on a site? Looked on Google...maybe I'm overworked and need new glasses, but I can't see! (I don't know HTML at all so rock on BV tutorials, worked for me with other code)
Thank you so much for your responses.
