It's actually very easy. Get any web page designer (they give them
away free on cover CDs these days) then trawl around the web for pages
you like and click on "save as html" and then just change stuff around
to fit your site.

There again, for all you know, some of your players may be able to do
the design in exchange for free turns. My site was designed by a
customer who is a professional web page author and did it in exchange
for some goods (quid pro quo is *always* cheaper!) and it's gained me
loads of business.

(Sample quote: "Am I your first customer from Slovenia?" I didn't even
know they had *electricity* in Slovenia, let alone computers! ;-))  )

A word of advice *DON'T* use Flash plugins or Java! They're slow to
download and Java has the bad habit of crashing browsers and it's
guaranteed to p$$$ off the viewer!
