I have really been thinking about starting a website to display my art... Hoping to make a business.i take pictures, paint a little and make jewelry. Somehow, with all those creative things, my brain fails to connect with a computer. The assistance and startup for this would be wonderful! I like the idea of a logo too!

My husband owns a restaurant and the website needs help!

Oh, the HOPE with this one. I'm in the process of creating a business logo for myself, and researching and thinking about all the things I'm going to have to learn to get my own professional looking website up. It'd be wonderful to just concentrate on making the products and forget about the mind boggling world of computer-language and what kind of logo attracts people. (which Okiana is really good at, those logos are delicious!)
