Default What color should my website be? (yoo hoo, Mr. Subtle) - 09-26-2007, 03:59 PM

I'm going to start marketing myself to the gourmet food/cooking industry--mostly for direct response.

Any ideas on colors and graphics to use to fit in with this crowd?

Ha! That's the funniest thing I've read today

Most of the gormet food places I've seen seem to use dark greens and cream... red is also associated with food I believe.

Less text, less text, and more pictures!

I agree -- it's just so damn hard to find any pictures of scantily clad women on the Internet.

HAhahahaha... you're right, but it's probably a bit harder than finding the typical internet marketing site that isn't RED, BLUE, CANARY and BLACK. (oops... sorry Ken... "Lord, I apologize, be with the starving pygmies in New Guinea... amen.")

I didn't want you to go blind, if you know what I mean.
