It sure is cheaper. That's how I started out in web design myself. You'll just get better and better. Plus it gives you the freedom to optimize it for search engines yourself. It's a much better option than just using a business op template.

Way to go!

Well Im not a pro, but it do save me a lot money.. I price around for getting a simple website done here in singapore and the cheaps I could fine was 700usd so i figure I do it myself.

but thanks.. though if you can learn how to build nice sites you can make some nice amount money..

Video is playing fine over here, too. The only suggestion I would give would be to maybe tone down the shade of purple that is used behind the menu. Good luck on your business!

Please read my reply in a positive light.

Yes your video plays - but - I don't know who will see it. Why? Did you see your URL to get to the page where the video plays? It's http://trydarkchocolate.info/Xocai-healthy-chocolate-news.html

Most people won't type that in. They will type in http://trydarkchocolate.com first (note I used .com) and go to someone else's similar website! Notice I used .com and not .info

I don't think people are used to the .info yet. Anyways, http://trydarkchocolate.info/ does not play the video as you would want.

So there are a few issues about your website:

1. domain name: it doesn't make much sense to have a .info domain if you don't also own the .com version of the same name. I know why you chose it, .info names are extremely cheap. Unfortunately you don't own the .com domain name. You will lose a lot of customers who will go and are going to your .com competitor. Business people need to understand that owning the dot anything other than com makes no sense. dot com websites own and rule the internet. dot infos do not and never will. Rule number 1: when registering a new domain name, always try for a .com - if that isn't available change your name until you can find one that is available. Settling for a .info or a .net means nothing if you don't own the .com domain name too.

2. If you want your video to play on your website then people need to see it on your home page which should be http://trydarkchocolate.info

Not http://trydarkchocolate.info/Xocai-healthy-chocolate-news.html

Please take my comments in the positive light in which they are given.
