Beginner in need of help

Hey everyone,
I've been designing a website for my business
(http://www.losthorizontreks.com). I don't have any previous web design
experience and am learning as I go. I am happy with the site layout and the
way it works, but all of the text is in jpeg form, which means search engines
are limited to the page titles. Is there a way to keep the layout but make the
text searchable by the engines? Does the question make sense? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the question makes perfect sense.

Fireworks is a graphics program. The HTML that Fireworks produces is intended
for prototypes - quick examples you can show people to see if you're on the
right track with a design. The Fireworks HTML is not robust enough to use for a
production site. What you want to do is use either a program that's designed
for creating robust HTML (such as Dreamweaver) or learn to write HTML by hand
in a text editor. It isn't really that hard.

What you have now is a mess. It would be impossible to maintain. Just looking
at your file info%20links.HTML is a nightmare. It doesn't need to look like
that...and it shouldn't. (Also, naming conventions. That %20 is what happens to
spaces in your file name. It's better to remove spaces or use hyphens instead.
Underscores are okay, but they tend to get lost if a file name is also a link
and becomes underlined. Use lowercase for file extensions.)

Even if you have Dreamweaver or another Web authoring program, you really
ought to learn what it is you're doing. Check out

Good luck! :smile;
