Logo Updates:

We can do this for you, or you can do it yourself. Service options listed
below:
- We modify the generic logo (a $25 value) for FREE. We will
modify this logo, you provide the words and we'll modify the generic
logo image.
- Or you can provide your own graphic logo image, and we can
provide a quote for installing this for you.

Your logo is an 'image' embedded into the webpages, and the intro
pages, using a SWF, or flash animated file. To remove the logo, and
add your own, you can do one of two things:
1. Add your logo using Swish.
- open the logo.swi (Swish 2.01 or Swishmax) file, located in
the editables folder
- remove the generic logo from the 'outline' pane'
- import your own image (using the outline panels - import
image option)
- line your new image up over the 'background' image
- THEN DELETE THE BACKGROUND IMAGE, this image is only present
in the 'logo.swi' file, to help you line your new logo image up
correctly.
2. Add your logo to the background image on the webpage.
- delete the 'logo.swf file from the flash folder
- start your favorite graphics program
- edit the background graphic for the intro page by importing
the "INTRO-BG.JPG' image located in your images folder
- add your own logo image to the intro-bg.jpg
- save or export the updated image
repeat the steps above for the template pages, but import the
't1b.jpg' image, also located in the images folder
