Create A Web Site Without Software
SpinSite is a "web page designer" you access using an ordinary web browser. After logging on you begin to create and design each web page, states Craig Crossman syndicated columnist and host of the Computer America Radio Show.
(PRWEB) July 7, 2004 -- Trying to run a new consumer-orientated business in this highly competitive world without a website would be like trying to run a business without a listing in the Yellow Pages, only far worse. I'd say it comes close to trying to run a consumer-orientated business without a Yellow Pages ad, no telephones, no mailing address and no advertising anywhere to promote your business. An Internet website in many ways rolls all of these basic methods of communication into one very-necessary window of access through which your potential customers can see. The bottom line is that today, most any business and especially any NEW business that offers consumer products and services really needs to have some kind of online presence to become a successful venture.
Once you've made the decision to create a website, the next question is how does one go about doing it? As with anything as complex as the Internet, there are many solutions that come with varying degrees of cost, lengths of time to be invested in such a venture and requirements of expertise. Until recently, you had two choices. You could either hire a company or individual to develop one for you, or you could do it yourself. The former could literally cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars. The latter could literally cost hundreds, even thousands of hours of learning how to program in HTML. And you're still faced with the expense of having to buy special development software such as Macromedia's Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage, plus finding and paying for a service to host your website. And while there are a number of applications out there that you can purchase which will let you create a website without having to know HTML programming, I'd like to tell you about another alternative that lets you create, design and publish an original website for your business without having to buy any software.
