Been working on a Freewebs website but have come across a bit of a problem. I have to many different makes of engines for the number of pages you are allowed on Freewebs.
If I put a list of the 27 different makes i own could i have a bit of input about how to classify the makes of engines (ie early British etc) into under 20 pages 
1.Mamod
2.Wilesco
3.Bowman
4.Cheddar Models
5.MSS
6.Hobbies
7.Stuart Turner
8.Basset Lowke
9.Marklin
10.Heisler
11.Hornby
12.Doll
13.Fleischmann
14.S.E.L
15.Sussex Steam
16.Wells
17.J.Falk
18.U.S.E
19.Camden
20.D.R Mercer
21.IP Engineering
22.Locolines
23.LGB
24.Reeves
25.Jean Comby
26.Midwest

Group them together, ie put all the German engines on a few pages, group some of the smaller English makes etc, think about structuring the information and plan it out in detail on paper first, so you have a clear idea of how many pages/screen you'll need and what will be contained on each.

Ok will do! I'll do a few drafts on paper and then ask what people think about it

Always work out a clear structure first, esp if you are setting it up for the first time. My site has just grown and grown and is currently 50 pages+ its needs a make over but I'll plan how the information will be structured topic by topic on paper first. I pay for my site so extra pages isn't a problem, but if you have a limit then really think about your content and what is relevant.

Search the web Jim, there are loads of sites outlining basic HTML/web colours and picture formats. I may even let you in on how to to interpolated transparent background gifs!
