Does your camera have a white balance setting? Did you try taking different exposures? Did you save your image in the sRGB format which is the most appropriate for web.

Jpegs are a lossy file format. Every time you re-save a jpeg it loses data. Can you shoot in tif or raw format? Then you can do your corrections and convert to jpeg.

Is your monitor calibrated? This is an important consideration as well.

If you can get the correct white balance, this should go a long way to achieving better images.
