    Is it legal to display movie poster images on a site?

    I have a thought for you... If you want to display a movie poster, then become an "affiliate" for a company that does have the rights. For example, you can sign up with Amazon.com to become an Affiliate ( https://affiliate-program.amazon.com ), and then they'll give you the Picture and also a...

    Is there such a thing as a reliable host?

    I'm currently with Midphase/Autica and have been happy. I've got a reseller account with them. They've had really good customer service. They actually answer the telephone and trouble tickets when you need help. The key to getting a "reliable host" is to find one that has good customer...

    User-Friendly Way to Update Site

    I agree you need a CMS. Try using iUpdateIt which will allow your client to update the "Featured Meal" highlight box whenever they wish. It'll also allow them to schedule changes throughout the month and have it automatically change for them. Pretty neat. As to the news page, you could use...

    How frequently site content should be updated?

    I'd recommend doing regular updates but don't kill yourself with it. Checking out your "search words and phrases" and "entry pages" in your site stats will give you an idea of what topics and pages people are finding on your site. Then, you should work on expanding that information. Think...

    i need some help

    If it's always going to be the same size you could use an IFrame. Do a search for Iframe code and you'll get some. It's really simple. Another option would be to do a server side include. A little harder, but also very effective.

    Content Managment advice

    I'd try something like iUpdateIt or embed a blog feed into the site. With iUpdateIt you'd setup the spaces by adding a small snippet of code into the site (really easy to do) and then they'd be able to login and make changes to that space. With the blog format, they'd update stuff on the blog...

    Should I host my client's website or not?

    I totally think you should host websites for clients. In my book it gives you so much more control over how things function and are setup.

    I've found you can do this sort of thing in a few ways, but the best I've found is using iUpdateIt. It is a simplified CMS system that allows someone to update a "select" section of a website. Give it a try. Another way to do this is to use a Blog and then "feed" it into a website using...

    Is this a valid tool for a web designer to use?

    I personally don't like using a full blown CMS system because it puts me in a box. I like to design my own sites and then embed select functions that my clients want. I'll do something like calendars from Localendar, simplified CMS from iUpdateIt, blogs from Blogger embedded with FeedBurner or...
