Title text can be a good idea, it will take time, though.

Just cut'n'paste the alt text,[/QUOTE]

You obviously don't know the difference between the two or else you
would not advice people to do this.

alt = alternative information = instead of
title = additional information = on top of

OK, this was just in case Luigi found the task
overwhelming... I see your point, and you are
completely correct, as to what alt and title text
is. I know the difference... i think...

I offer as one-man business all the things which are on the websites,
they are inter-related this way
and to have one site for each thing would be more expensive, I think.

Consider using subdomains, e.g.
service1.scaiecat-spa.gigi.com
service2.scaiecat-spa.gigi.com

It would be much more difficult to put advertisements, to order visiting
cards or just tell people I meet
which websites my one-man business has this way
I have only 2 websites at the moment and only one on my visiting cards.

Just had another look.

You present me with two words on an otherwise blank page. ADSL and MODEM.
Well I use cable so I guess I don't fit into either category.

Which categories would you use?
I have thought about that there are not only ADSL and Modem but they are
many!
Should I use "broadband" may-be?
The question is whether the term broadbad comprises many technologies is
understood by those who do not speak english as easy as ADSL.
By the way do you know whether I need something more than a qualified
certificate for qualified electronic signatures, a https protocoll with ssl
and encrypting to let make safe transaction on the internet?
May-be you can suggest a link on this subject?

By the way, do you know whether I need something more than a qualified
certificate for qualified electronic signatures, a https protocoll with
ssl,
php ( to send data to the database) a database ( to save the contracts for
example)
and encrypting to be able to make safe transactions on my website with my
customers?

Garish colours never worked... not even in 1996. Well, perhaps in the 60s.

70s. Don't forget the 70s. Garish colours were really in. Most of them
though were chemically induced :)

If you are going to do this then present these choices:

1) A text only page that will be able to view almost instantly

2) A page with hundreds of thumbnails that may take some time to view.

Many more.

Who cares. How many even know? Just use the above.

Er, what on earth are you talking about? SSL and HTTPS does not make "safe"
transactions. It makes one that others cannot easily look at. Why do you
want anybody to not *look* at your thumbnails as they drift through the
routers? There is no credit card info in them is there?

The point is that if I write 2 long sentences as the ones which you wrote
only in english, only people understanding english would understand them.
So, the alternative would be to write these 2 sentences in all the languages
of the website. Was really that what you meant?
Many more.

The point is that I have to prove that the customers has read a certain
content and seen certain pictures of a certain product which he or she wants
to buy or rent through my intermediation if we are talking about holidays
lodgings (the content of the contract, what the parts of the contract want
to agree on)
The use of SSL and https would let me prove to the user that the website is
the one which maintains to be. It would also allow a safe transmission of
information between me and the customers. The customers could give me the
permission to collect for example their names, adresses and so on. Of course
I also have to be sure that the customer who signs a contract is really the
one who he or she says to be.
So, that is one of the reasons why I need certificates.

So, I thought that I might send the contracts and the information which a
customer would send to me to a database,
by the use of php. So I am trying to learn to write in php and use mysql
By the way, I tried to put date and clock on the page
http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/it/temperature-in-svezia-novembre-2004.php
The time is not GMT. It is italian or swedish time, so to say.
That sounds good for the user who reads the page in italian but might
confuse search engines, might it not?
Should I write "ora italiana" (italian time) to help robots?

Just cut'n'paste the alt text,


This is getting very detailed, but I'd suggest for
example:
Keep one of the necklaces, one of the bracelets,
either red cups or green cups, one glass flower
picture, the cat (I like it!), one of the wine
glass pictures, one ceremic dish, Elba.jpg,
sangregorio3.jpg, and "lille röda stugan",
hus02.jpg. That's 10, showing the scope of what
you have to offer. 52 is just too much for one
page. Spread them out on the other pages instead!


Do you know if they stay on your site and visit
your other pages?

I know much but not everything about it, I suppose, because the information
I
get depends on how the users configure their webbrowser.

The home page seems to be much more visited than many other pages.
Anyway, now I have made 2 versions
http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/adsl.html
and http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/modem.html
so what is the problem with many pictures now, if you also have a version
for modem?

I have a modem here... But then again I'm maybe
not your average customer...

You have a modem there...
May I ask you where you live?
I have put even a version for modem, now anyway.
The photos or most of them are on other pages of the site in a different
size

http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/modem.html
So, it should not be any problem for you and others using a modem to surf on
that page.
The ones who use an adsl connection could navigate the other version
http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/adsl.html

You could just add some space between the
fields/items, then it will be all right.

I am likely to have a detailed look at that in a few days

The reason I asked was: Is it possible that your
visitors just come to your front page, and then
leave your site?

and http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/modem.html

for modem?

Oh yes, a new problem has arised: I feel
discriminated against! Why not offer a "page with
many pictures" and a "page with fewer pictures" so
I can choose? If I want to see all your pictures,
I'll wait for them to download. That's my choice.
I don't want to have a "lesser" version just
because of my connection speed, and isn't it twice
as much work for you? Your front page should load
quickly anyway.
You have a modem there...
May I ask you where you live?

Yes, you may. No secret. Norway. You are welcome
to visit my home page (see sig.)

Quality of the thumbnails is very bad due to wrong compression. Look at
http://www.nicoschuyt.nl/test/cat.jpg
and compare with
http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/bilder/gattopiccolo.JPG
(both are 2k)
A lot of the larger pictures like the
http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/bilder/alloggioljungskile.jpg and
http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/bilder/amalfi2bisgrande.jpg are bad too
(unsharp, wrong colors)

It is possible that some did it but I did not find any evidence that they
were many.
And I navigate only the homepage of many websites myself, so I do not find
it strange that some of the users visiting my website may have just visited
one page.
Anyway, my website has many doors so to say. I try to build it in a way
that it should be possible for the users in the best case to come in from
every page of the site and be able to navigate the whole site

Well,
1) not everyone can speak english.
If I write one sentence like " a page with many pictures" those users who do
not understand english may not understand that!
ADSL and modem instead are words which most people navigating sites
understand even if they do not speak english
2) there may-be people using text browsers
3) there may-be people who do not like the same pictures as you like
Yes, you may. No secret. Norway. You are welcome
to visit my home page (see sig.)

Norway has not entered the EU..

As i said I did not see much difference.
(and may-be some of the pictures on the right are even better)

Hehehe, the ones on the right are mine :)
And if you don't see the differences you have a big problem. Even the right
should be a lot better if the source files were acceptable.
