hi

grateful for any advice, best way to show a client an unpublished webpage (HTML).

If I email it the images don't show.
have tried to zip the whole folder and send that but still no images displayed (also does not pick up the CSS).

only option I can find so far is a screen shot!

am new to this and this is my first client.

thanks

Set up a testing server online and set up a secure folder then point them to that.

Places like 'X10 web hosting' and '000 Web hosting' both provide free web space that's ideal for demonstration and testing purposes when you don't have any yourself.

However, as they like to keep a lid on those who want to put up phishing and pirated material related sites they review each new signups work by hand and this can take up to 72 hours before the initial site becomes visable online. After that they only you check you over occasionaly if anything unusual is happening at the server and the hosting behaves as normal.

If it's really urgent PM me and I'll give you an email address to send the zip file to and I'll put it online with one of my development sites.

emac - if you have your own hosting account why not upload it there?

For the images, try using relative paths.

However, unless your client has paid, I wouldn;t be se nding source files out at all. I'd simply take a lowe quality screeshot of the site (Firefox has a good plugin called screengrab that captures the full webpage - however tall - in a single file) and whack a watermark on there. Send this to the client.

Can you not send the I.P address of your hosting and path to the directory ? I would also watermark any graphics as its not un-common for someone not to pay and steal your designs !
