Basic Design and  Layout

• main color(s) 
• background (color, texture). 
• This could be your main color
• Full background on page;  just top; top and left side; or just the left side of each page
• CLICK HERE FOR A SOME SAMPLE BACKGROUNDS
• color of buttons (complimentary color), and shape
• logo (if you have one)

Every page should contain:

• same layout through out - same colors, logo, buttons, and background for consistency in web site
• contact information close to bottom of every page is recommended - this makes it easier for people to contact you no matter where on the site they are. 
• Your contact information should include:
• full address
• phone number(s)
• fax number (if applicable)
• email address (if applicable)
• navigation bar (all links on your site) at bottom of every page

Things to keep in mind:

• keep information and pictures as up-to-date as possible (lose credibility if information is out-dated)
• text is most readable black on a white background (this can be set up even on a colored background).
• the more pictures on a page, the longer the page will take to download.  This could turn potential clients away from your site
• a really good quality picture makes a sale easier.  It is better to have no picture than a poor quality picture.

Home page

Your home page is the first page, therefore the first impression, any potential client will see.  This page should be a reflection of you and your business product.

• your logo, if you have one, should be part of your home page (and perhaps every page)
• a featured picture is nice to have on your home page.  This could be of your stallion, your ranch, or your product.
• A welcome statement including briefly what your site offers

Stallion page

If you are standing a breeding stallion, the following should be contained on the stallion page:

• a good picture or two
• basic information (age, color, registration, etc.)
• pedigree
• his accomplishments 
• his offsprings' accomplishments
• breeding fee, guarantees, and other contractual information

Mare page

Promoting the strength of your brood mares is important, especially if marketing their offspring.  Your mare page should contain the following:

• a good picture of each mare
• basic information (age, color, registration, etc.)
• her pedigree
• her accomplishments 
• her offsprings' accomplishments

Sale Horse(s) page

If you are offering any horses for sale, the page should contain the following:

• good picture or two of each sale horse
• basic information (age, color, gender, registration, etc.)
• pedigree of each sale horse
• a write-up about each sale horse, including accomplishments
• price

 Bio page

• complete contact information
• directions if necessary
• map to your place
• picture of your, your family, or your place
• other information about you and your family that you wish to share
