Default Offer to assist box for template users

Hey Guys,
I noticed a lot of you are only integrating text (No images) into the body of your pages. Although this is a great start and unique content helps with search engines, it tends to look pretty bland.

I am not sure if this is due to lack of photo formatting skills etc but I would like to offer a little help by proposing you guys use what I am going to call an offer to assist box.

What this is, is a div that stands out from the rest of your text that you can put on any page with a simple copy paste. It has your picture and your contact message and details.

You can see an example of this at the bottom of this site http://www.scottsellsaz.com/

If you would like one, please post here - what we will need from you is a photo, the contact message you want in your box and what you want listed for contact details.

There is no charge for us doing this for you, we just want to make sure we help you along to making your sites the best they can be.

Cheers

I like the box but as I've mentioned to you before, I have come to the conclusion, after a bit of debate on these forums, that I don't want my photo on every page (I used to be pro-photo on all print material). I do put my contact info in, however, and just having that in a box would be cool. I also have a nice logo I could use although it's kind of big (even though I have optimized it to make it load quickly) and I'm not sure I want to advertise my company name more than my own.

I have lots of graphics saved but am just trying to keep up with adding content to my sites (especially my new Oak Lawn site). The graphics will be coming when I have more time as I agree that ongoing words can look bland and I doubt that many surfers read everything.
