I searched for about 30 minutes and had no luck with the animations. I kept getting porn sites. Anyone else have any ideas? Do the lotion makers have a place on their site to download items like this?

Artwork is the most difficult aspect for "do it yourself" web-sites, check with your distributors, lotion and bed manufacturers for finished images. Most of their finished images advertises them, instead of you so I'm not a big fan of them.

If you have a digital camera, cut deals with some of your hot customers. Google for a Model Release Form they're all over the net, just verify that all your models are over 18 so they're old enough to engage them self in a legal contract. You can also visit http://www.onemodelplace.com/ to find local models.

If you have and know a image program (Adobe Photoshop or something) or have a friend that does, I think it's better to own and copyright your own images, you can use them for web-sites, promotions, mailers, fliers, everything.
Have Fun.

Tom

Re: Building website, where to get pics and animations???

Take it easy with the animations. They should be used with great care.

My nephew had done some modelling. I approached him with an idea last year. He got several friends together, male and female, and we did a shoot for a local resturant. The deal was this; for their services I would provide at minimum a couple of professional images of them for their portfolios, along with a referral. If the project was sold, they'd recieve further compensation based on the sale.

For salons, you'll have a bunch of potentials to approach for your own shoot. You could even turn it into a promo event.

Try www.register.com and www.GoDaddy.com. Also try Frontpage which is by Microsoft. This is a good start to build your own websight. Good Luck!
