Web Site Design

We provide the hosting, but what about site design?

Web site design is typically done on your computer using web creation software. Most software packages of this type provide a WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editor to lay out your web pages.

A popular program for designing web pages is Microsoft Frontpage. Frontpage provides many templates to get you started. If you have used other Microsoft Office products, you will feel right at home in Frontpage.

When you are ready to unveil your site, Frontpage provides a simple publish feature that takes care of all the details of moving your content to our servers. If you are using Frontpage to create your site, be sure to turn on Frontpage Extensions in your control panel (or drop us a line and we will do it for you).

For those on a tight budget, you might want to take a look at the free NVu.

Another software package used by professional web designers is called Macromedia Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver has many sophisticated features, and there is a bit of learning curve before you become productive using this software. Dreamweaver uses FTP to move your finished product to our servers.

If designing web pages is not your thing, there are a number of folks out there who do this for a living, and who will give discounts to churches and ministries.
