All About Kate At katekreates.com
Getting graphics from Kate is like Christmas when I was a kid. You open the image and say, "Wow!" Then another: "Great!" And another: "Out of sight!"
Kate is simply amazing. She is one of the greats. Period. Her work is lovely, original, and always tailored to meet your particular needs. Probably one secret to her success is that she knows the Web and she knows business. Further, she has a keen understanding of people. Give her just a few of your half-baked thoughts about what you want and she'll come through with something that pleases, perhaps even startles, but always a work that is first rate.
Kate has produced every graphic I have needed for over four years. In all that time, even with minimal clues, she has always produced great stuff I immediately fell in love with.
Okay. There was one exception. It was a good piece, but I just didn't like it. Solution? She just did something different that came out super.
Have you any use for a great animated banner? Kate's price is $60, if you provide the wording you want. Order from my Deals page, and the price is only $50; you will save $10.00! It's a great way to introduce yourself to the work of a true professional. I suggest you go for it! On this deal, I don't take a cut.
If you are just getting started with a site or have one you want to rebuild, create the index page and a couple of others in draft form. If you are new to this stuff, download my free Web Page Starter Kit; you'll have a great page template in very short order.
Whatever, the idea is to build a couple of pages that contain the essence of the site you want to build. Include enough text so you have the flavor of how you will proceed with other pages. Forget images. Just put them in with bold text. Site Logo Here. Plea for bookmark here, and so forth. Also describe any ideas you have regards the art work needed. Colors are always important. Be sure you are clear on the colors you want to use.
Then ask Kate to look at it and make suggestions regards what will work best. When you've settled on what you want, she'll give you a quote. Take it, kick back and wait a bit. (Kate is *always* busy, so you need to give her a week or more.)
But the wait will be worth it. When you open graphics from Kate, it's just like Christmas used to be when you were young. Except there is not likely be even one that falls short of expectation.
But if you come to one and find yourself saying, "I don't know about this." Not to worry. Kate will make it work. Count on it. She is a wonder, if not a wizard! KateKreates.Com BookJones by Rosemary West
Ebooks make great info copy, to be sold or given away as a promotional freebie. If you have an ebook in mind, you need a compiler to put it all together. Of the bunch I've looked at, BookJones seems best for three reasons.
* Simple to use
* Powerful options
* Inexpensive
Simple To Use
When I first opened the program, I fumbled a bit, as I tend to do with new software. But the simple, direct, to-the-point help file quickly got me on track. In fifteen minutes flat I created an ebook consisting of articles I have written for "STAT News." And that's fast. And it just doesn't get any easier.
The program expects your content as .RTF files. But .TXT files work fine. Just open each file needed in the editor included, and save in .RTF format. You may want to strip carriage returns at the end of lines, particularly if you choose to use a proportional font.
Collect files as chapters. Illustrate each chapter with a graphic if you like; a lot of neat art work is included that you are free to use. Then "publish" the book. A table of contents is automatically included.
Finally, view your book as it will appear to others. If changes are needed, they are easy to make. Content can be edited, even rewritten, within the editor. Publishing is a snap, so you will never hesitate to make a change for it costs you only a minute. This tends to lead to a flawless product, which is always the goal.
Powerful Options
A variety of options are available for the final form. Most will want to create an installation file for distribution. During installation, users will have the usual options such as where to install the system. If you like, the installation can wrap with an invitation to run the program and open the book. The install can be password protected to assure only authorized people can access the book.
The editor is simple and straightforward. If you have ever used a Windows type editor, you will find it a snap to use this one. The common tools are included. For example, you can use any font on your system and set attributes to suit. You can set margins, tabs, bulleted text, and so forth. A spell checker is included. You can include an ad banner, if you like, pointing to your website. If you choose to display an online button, the reader can click to visit your website. You can choose whether or not you want to allow printing and copying.
