I could see how that would be a problem. I would not expect them to
do any work until they received a deposit from me. I think that is
only fair and besides, it's good business. I don't work for free and
I certainly don't want someone who I hope to have a long-term business
relationship to do something for nothing.

What I generally wanted was a intro page with one picture that you
could click on (I provided the picture) and take the person into the
site. Then it would just be a few pages of general info.

Anyway, thanks for all the tips.
