Hi guys, im sure a few of you have seen my site by now - www.trenthamparkgolfclub.com/new/index.html Its almost finished, but i would like to 'jazz' it up a little bit by adding some kind of animated buttons for the links i have in the right hand side of the website. I dont want anything too flash and I want them to look simple, something like this website has along the right hand side (underneath the 'Authentic Jobs' link:

http://veerle-v2.duoh.com/blog/comments/creating_flexible_buttons_using_photoshop_shapes_and_styles/

Im using Dreamweaver, and have a free trial of photoshop CS5.
How do I go about creating 'buttons' or links like that? Or if you have any other ideas/suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
Funky

SEO Techniques. This was going to be one of my next forum posts, but seen as youve bought it up in here, id may as well deal with it in here. Would this be what you mean?:

Keyword Usage
This describes if your most common keywords are used in your meta-title, meta-keyword, or meta-description tags.
•Keyword(s) not included in Meta-Title

•Keyword(s) not included in Meta-Keywords Tag

•Keyword(s) not included in Meta-Description

•Your most common keywords are not appearing in one or more of the meta-tags above. Your primary keywords should appear in your meta-tags to help identify the topic of your webpage to search engines.
 
Meta tags aren't really that important, not compared to other text anyway. First you need to find a few keywords that you want to target. I'd assume these would be 'golf course stoke' and 'golf club staffordshire' and the like.

You then want to use these in your body text as much as possible while retaining coherency. For example:

Trentham Park Golf Club (TPGC) has established itself as a superb parkland course conveniently located with excellent access from junction 15 of the M6.

...could be...

Trentham Park Golf Club has established itself as a superb parkland golf course. Located near Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, it's conveniently placed with excellent access from junction 15 of the M6.

That's just an example. Any time you mention the would "course", it should be preceded by "golf" or "club" (the next sentence on your site doesn't). And your site's title should always contain "Trentham Park Golf Club" at the very least.

There's lots more techniques too :).
 
funky, hit me up on 3dcandy[at]gmail[dot]com with what you want buttons wise, and I'll craft them up using CSS for you...I need colours, size (if possible) and whatever and I'll sort them out...

that's very good of you sir, please don't take it as me being rude, but I'd rather at least try to create something myself. I'm not going to learn by letting other people do it. I've Got a free day tomorrow to have a play about with it.
Thanks again buddy
 
Sounds good...I was just gonna point you in the right direction...
Look at CSS3 properties for some pointers. border-radius, text-shadow etc. are your friends!
