Name [required] (for tracking purposes only)

Email [required] (for tracking purposes only)

Section #1: Background Options

Please choose the background option you prefer. If you look closely,

you can see the background on the right has the faint images of truck

accessories. You may choose to use a background with or without the image

of the accessories.

Some might wonder if it is possible to use a personal or custom image for the background. It is possible but it is not practical and therefore not an option at this time.

The background with the accessories images is better viewed on the 'atdhelena' website by clicking here.

Please make your selection by checking the appropriate button below.

If you would like to change at some point from one to the other, we will

do that for you at no charge, as it would be covered under the maintenance

fee.

Don't forget to click the "Submit" button at the end of the page below.

Section #2: Background Color

You may choose a color scheme here. Simply select the color you

prefer by checking the appropriate button below and it will be applied

to your Website site-wide.

You may only use one color at a time, but if you decide at some later

time you would like to change colors, we can do that for you at no charge.

Section #3: Header Options

Here you may choose an option for the 'Header' section at the top of

the page.

As you can see from the 'atdhelena' site, this image can be a local

scenic picture, but it can also be other things.

You may choose to supply us with a local scenic picture or perhaps

a picture of your operation, such as a store front, etc. Email us if you

would like us to provide a stock image.

There is one very important issue to consider. Not all images

will work correctly in this pre-defined space which has a 6 to 1 ratio.

If you would like your custom photo to fill the space as the scenic option below you need to provide a photo that will work within that

6 to 1 ratio space.

If you need help with this means visit the 'Header Image' page for a detailed explanation.

Options:

Option #1 Logo Option #2 Scenic Option #3 Your operation

Logo Only Scenic Your Operation

Section #4

Optional Film Strip

You may choose to use this optional film strip on your site.

The space may be left blank or you can choose a generic film strip with stock photos, or you have the option of supplying your own photos to use in the film strip, the choice is yours.

The film strip can be used as a marketing tool by using the images that represent your best profit areas.

If you choose to utilized this feature, you may also choose to use 'Tool Tip' balloons along with it to enhance the usefulness of this option.
(see section #5 below)

No Film Strip Images

Section #6: Welcome Text

Here you can supply any text you prefer for the 'Welcome' message

on the 'Home' page. Just enter the text in the box below.

If you prefer not to supply text for this section we will modify what

you see on the 'atdhelena' site to fit your location.

Welcome Text

Section #7:

Introductory (Welcome) Image

Here you can choose to use an image as part of your 'Welcome" message. You may also use this form to upload any other images or files you need to send us here.

Please use the field below where it says, "Upload your image or video here"

to search your own computer for the files you would like to send us. You may upload as many as needed, but only one at a time. So simply upload one image, then go back and upload another and continue this process until you have successfully upload all that files you need to send us.

These can be a still photos, a slide show of your pictures (you supply the pictures and we will make a slide show from them for an additional fee [does not apply to "Charter Members"]) or a video (from you or us, but again an additional fee will apply [does not apply to "Charter Members"]).

A custom video can be provided by us for an additional fee also.

We can also supply an audio file for your use as well, that will be produced by us for you for use on your site, again, for an additional fee.

For one example, look at 'atdhelena' to see a custom video/slide

show.

Videos are usually very large files and can be difficult to upload through a venue such as this. If you need to send a very large file, such as a video, please try to adhere to the 20MB limit imposed by the server and it should work fine. But if not, and you need to send a very large file, please contact us for instructions on how to proceed and we will help.

As an alternative you can go to YouSendIt and use their service that

will let you send up to 50MB for free, and it's easy to use, the only limitation is that you can only send one file at a time. That is merely an inconvenience as you may return and send additional files for free one at a time. When using

this service please send to this email address: [email protected]

(note: If you need to send multiple files, as long as you are below the 20MB threshold, you may send as many as you like, one file at a time. Or alternatively you can use this email address [email protected] and attach all your files to the email. However the limitation here is imposed by the server, that is to say, your email server, and that limitation is probably around 1MB although it can vary from one ISP to another. Try it and if it fails to work try a smaller file.)

Upload your files here:

Please don't forget to click the "Submit" button

below to complete the process.

Once you click the "Submit" button, please be patient

as it will take a minute to process the entire form.

What Members Are Saying

Guy Howie ATD logo

Guy Howie from Fargo, ND has this to say about his new web site.

Hi Barry,

Just a thought on the web site as it evolves: I've noticed that the downfall of most web sites is the difficulty in navigating from page to page without having to return to the home page each time. This is not the case with your site Barry.

It is very user friendly and easy to navigate from the home page or any other page I chose to explore.

Also, by identifying my three main profit centers, these will appear to the viewer no matter what page he goes to. The framework of the site is solid & can be duplicated for everyone else. Each site can be easily modified to suit the particular market focus to suit the business. Looks like this should work well.
