Vendor Recommendations & Referrals

I personally use and endorse the services provided by the vendors below and I would do so even if they didn't have attractive referral programs. If you need any of these products or services, please buy from my banner links. If you aren't ready to buy right now, please bookmark this page and come back when you are. Income from commissions enables me to do more pro bono work, like this site for Habitat for Humanity - South Collin County. Thank you!

PayPal is the fastest, easiest, most secure way to accept credit card payments on your site. I use it myself and have implemented simple shopping carts on several of my client's sites. Their instructions and support have just been incredible. Click the banner below and check out the Merchant Services tab to learn about all the ways PayPal can help you sell your product. Go ahead and sign up for a free Merchant account while you are there and they'll pay me a bonus. Thanks!

CMS - after working on three liveSites I'm very impressed with how easy their system is to set up and for the users to maintain. liveSite™ is a powerful web-based Content Management System (CMS) that empowers your staff to publish web pages, calendars, collect web forms, capture payments and contacts online, and create and broadcast e-mail subscriptions with ease.

iStockphoto is a  terrific resource for inexpensive stock photography, illustrations, video and Flash files. If you are a photographer it is a great way to make a little (or a lot of - many of the photographers started as hobbyists and have been able to quite their day jobs) extra money. This banner links to my portfolio, which isn't so hot. So head for the iStock home page and check out the amazing photography and illustrations at amazingly low prices:
