CONTENTS Unlike printing, a website can and should undergo constant change to make it interesting to visitors and keep them coming back. It should deliver information, regardless of your type of business - it should offer more than just a list of your company's products or services.

HOSTING Merlin Graphics does not offer any web hosting services, however, if you require assistance, i will be glad to help you choose the right provider and the right hosting package for your needs. To get an idea how much it will cost, have a look at my ISP (a link to their site is provided on my home page)

DESIGN The internet is virtually a canvas of unlimited possibilities. If you are starting out with new website, start small - you can ad new pages later on. You can choose a design theme from my templates page or give me a list of webpages that appeal to you, or we can work on a new design for you. I will be helping you in the future to keep your pages updated and to add new contents as your business continues to grow.

GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) files use a maximum of 256 colors, and are best for displaying noncontinuous-tone images or those with large areas of flat colors, such as navigation bars, buttons, icons, logos, or other images with uniform colors and tones.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file format is the superior format for photographic or continuous-tone images, because JPEG files can contain millions of colors. As the quality of a JPEG file increases, so does the file size and the file download time. You can often strike a good balance between the quality of the image and the file size by compressing a JPEG file.
