    Just plainly use Micosoft Word. You dont have to make it anything fancy. Just make a nice border. Use word/clip art and write a little. Print it and boom, u have yourself a flyer.

    Buy a domain. If it's a real job it will be worth it.

    DONT DONT DONT use freewebs. It looks incredibly amatuer and unprofessional. Scamp out the money to rent out a domain name and server.

    The site itself is nice. I'd want to get out of the cookie-cutter layout if I were you, but keep the general design of it.

    I'd say that you should embed a blog into it. It gives customers updates, and keeps them coming back to the site.

    The main page is far too wordy. The average customer wants to just look at the page and not have to scroll down to understand what it's about. Put a few images and maybe the first paragraph. I'll help you out with the layout later.

    An advertising site shouldn't need ads. Like I said, the whole Freewebs bit makes it look unprofessional.

    For the flyers, create a layout that will fit a standard 8.5"x11" paper. Use a pastel colored paper to match your site. Gradients are pretty, but they're pretty much impossible to get duplicated consistently when printed. And don't print them out at home; your printer isn't going to make them look nice. Order bulk from a custom printing company. The more you make, the cheaper, but you'll probably only need a few hundred.

    I'll give more advice when I get back; I'm going to work.
