My Small Business - Website Improvements

By -
I recently upgraded by business' website appearance to reflect professionalism and clean design.  A big part of web design is of course graphic design.  I am not a professional graphic designer so I use works that artists provide free to the web design community.  It is important to make sure any images, photos, etc are approved by the artist for commercial application.  This narrows the field quite significantly.

Here are my favorite sources for free, commercial use graphics:

http://icons.mysitemyway.com/
http://www.devwebpro.com/developer-icon-sets-collection-of-the-best-free-to-both-personal-commercial-use-icon-sets/

(Note: Make sure the images you use are specifically approved for commercial use by author/artist)

Take a look at the new site at www.kirksvillewebdesign.com.  Here's a screenshot for the timid.

Pretty Nice Eh?  Google Sites can look good, I promise!

Hey, I'm Web Princess aka Beckystar and welcome to my first blog, thank you Kyle for having me! Using social media buttons to share your site or content is easy and expected by your visitors. Social buttons or icons facilitate the sharing of your site, content or blog and are now a linchpin of social media. It’s not enough to simply produce content these days.
