| It's
one thing to decide you need a website. It's another altogether to
actually create it, promote it, and maintain it as a vibrant and
meaningful facet of your business. In the world of online
development, there are as many avenues of approach to website
presence as there are flowers of the field. How do you find the
right one?
Do-It-Yourself. There are dozens of web-building packages
available for the determined do-it-yourselfer: Front Page; PageMill;
Hot Dog Pro; Go Live Studio. They're out there. Readily available,
and not-too-spendy, these packages offer basic programming abilities
to the amateur web-developer. Keep in mind that the development and
maintenance of a website is something of a mix between rocket
science, artistic magic, and creative intuition. If you have the
time and determination, you can learn to spin successful, well-built
webs with these programs. After all, this is how most web-design
professionals got started, self-taught, and earning experience
points every step of the way.
