Need a Website?

Build sites fast, with full control!

Greetings,

You're here because you want to create websites, either for a service or organisation you want to present on the web. You want something that looks good, presents the relevant info', and gets the customer or prospective member to pick up the phone, and contact you. You can use computers to surf the 'net, send emails, and the like, but maybe you're new to creating websites. You don't have a lot of time to throw at this, and you want it right first time, and fast.

Common choices are:

• Use an "Off the peg" website builder package. The problem is, you more than likely are forced to have an advertiser's notice on your page (which screams "Amateur!"), you don't get full control, things don't appear exactly as you want them to, you can't fix it, and it can all be frustrating - I know this because of the people who ask me to fix their sites!
• Use a "WYSIWYG" or visual editor. Better, but the appearance of the page in the editor doesn't necessarily match what the visitor will see in a browser. Without an understanding of how web pages work, you're still powerless to fix this, and you're still constrained by the controls of the editor.

The bottom line is this - the above solutions are not the answer. You need to know how websites work. Browsers interpret simple code that site-builders and WYSIWYG editors generate. If you understand that code - which really is very easy - you can fire the middleman and do a better job yourself. If you absolutely need something in half an hour, perhaps because you need to be online today and you're on an international flight later in the afternoon, then maybe the site builder is the way to go. But in all other cases, they are a detour, and ultimately, time wasted. At some point, you will realise that you'll have to deal with the web page yourself. The most efficient way to go about this is to get this manual, which is specifically designed to get you from the starting blocks, to knowing everything you need to produce basic, attractive informational websites, that get you clients, in one working day - including time to practice and/or generate your actual website.

So, the solution is...

The core languages of the internet - HTML, XHTML and CSS - the ones you might be considering paying someone a lot to write in - they're easy as pie. A straightforward, effective, informational website, that gets clients to call you, can be done by hand, very quickly, very easily. By targetting this specific need, I save you a lot of time. I explain all of the above points, and more, in easy to understand terms, in just over a hundred pages. Even allowing for making a first website, you'll get through it in one working day.

Anything less than that is unrealistic, or a short-term stop-gap that would be a bad long-term decision.
