I can edit it in NVU, but does anyone know a good source for blank CC templates? They all look so out of the box. Has anyone done this with this service before? Thanks in advance! __________________ Magic Satchel

I have made banners and backgrounds in PhotoShop and imported them as images. That has been the only way to make it less generic for my clients. __________________ Tamika R.

At least I know it's not just me! I'll work on banners. Do you personally use something else now? __________________ Magic Satchel

If it involves a lot of graphics then you will need to create and save as images as Tamika said. If you are trying to pick up a color scheme from the website and don't have the color codes, try using Color Cop. The basic version is free and has really helped me to customize color schemes and pick up on new colors that I like and want to try. You could also try starting with the Basic templates and getting creative. And you can create from scratch if you are html literate (I am not). Click on the "Use My Own Code" link at the bottom of the templates menu if you want to go that route. Good Luck, __________________ Karen Cole, MBA www.aveonservices.com

Please remember that everything you customize will need to be an image and so you client will likely need to have an account that allows for more than 5 images. __________________ Tamika R.
