Closing Remark:
Thanks for reading my answers to the questions I was given. I would like to maybe give some of my useful tips for designing in which I stand by, even though I am no expert. A web site is like a newspaper so I take tips from looking at the daily newspapers. Keep the site clean and the downloading time reasonably fast and last but not least, enjoy what you are doing! Its a art of its own and who knows? One day, I may just stop the whole episode and return to my normal life. Us web designers have no normal life. We eat, breath and sleep creation Don't We?
