  • Ensure that the image dimensions do not exceed 3000 pixels for height or width. If the files are larger, try resizing them in an image editing program such as Picasa, Photoshop, GIMP or Fireworks.

MB Web Design Launching New Service For Spring 2010

MB Web Design will shortly be launching MyDesignerWebsite, a new service that will allow small businesses to design and launch their website within only a few days for a small annual fee.

The website will launch with 5 templates to choose from, with more added each month. At the time of ordering you will be able to customise the template to suit their needs – text font typefaces, header font typefaces, all text colours and background colours can be chosen from a set palette, or you can choose your own!

Once you’ve chosen your website package – which start from as little as £6.25 per month – we will contact you to establish the content you require on the website, and you can email us photos to use. In as little as 7 days your website will be put online for all to see.
