I got two of three, couldn't get the middle one :suspect:

SyncToy from Microsoft is a good free piece of software :)

Signing up for TPS is free and takes all of about five minutes... It doesn't stop people ringing from abroad, but does stop the majority of legit UK businesses ringing - Telesales companies don't want to waste their time ringing people that genuinely don't have any interest in buying, so you'd...

Should be saved at the size the banner is, and make sure you're not zoomed into your website (press CTRL+0 to make the page original size). Also check the page isn't resizing the banner itself (check the img tag for width & height parameters :) )

http://www.rjadamsphotography.co.uk/portrait%20gallery.html - Page doesn't work Also, I'd try and fix the gallery image thumbnails so they don't load the whole page at once, it makes for a very slow loading page :) I ran your aircraft images page through Google Page speed for Firefox, it...

Try this; 0845 859 0018 - It's hidden on their contact page (Google FTW :D)

Don't use Wix - Flash websites are terrible for mobile users and SEO alike

I use Site5 and eukhost :)

You'd ditch SmugMug and the others, pay for web hosting (as Neil says above), then either install and configure it yourself - Not overly difficult, but I'm fairly well versed with Wordpress, or get someone to configure it for you. Photocart can be used for the entire site including galleries...

The cost of the round of golf was probably just covering costs, but I'm sure a lot of people will have had a drink or some food after their round, which is then profit :)

tens of thousands have though, so they're doing something right

If you want to use that template to do all of your requirements, you're going to need to pay someone a fair wedge of cash to build all of the functions, so I'd forget that idea and write that off as a viable idea. That leaves you with companies as you've already looked at; Clickpic, Smugmug et...

You can limit offers on Groupon - Obviously it's not in Groupon's interest to have businesses limit their offers though, so I'd imagine they try and talk people out of it :)

IMO, they don't "force" anything on business owners, but do try and sell them more than they really should take on - business owners should know when to say no if it's going to damage their business. Groupon CAN, and does work for lots of companies, but the deal has to be thought through before...
