Designing The Site

Designing The Site

It used to be said that absolutely anyone could create a website. That was
true: absolutely anyone who knew HTML. Today, you don’t even need to
know that. Programs like Microsoft’s FrontPage or NVU (which is free; you
can download it at www.nvu.com) let you create sites without you needing to
know your tags from your tables. If you can use Word, you can create a
website.

You can either have fun playing with the programs and designing the site
yourself or you can hire a professional designer to do it for you.

Freelance sites like www.elance.com and www.guru.com are good places to
advertise. You can invite designers to give you quotes and pick the best
based on price and talent. Be sure to check feedback and portfolios though; a
low bid is often low for a good reason.
