Beginners How To Guides

Developing your first website

This is a Beginners Guide designed to take you through the steps involved in developing your company's first website. There's so much hype about the Internet that it can be difficult to know where to begin. If you are considering putting your business on the net, then the best advice is to spend time surfing yourself so that you are comfortable with the basics of the technology and familiar with the way in which other companies are using the net. Unless you develop an understanding of how the Internet works in practice and the way in which it can benefit your business, it will be almost impossible to develop a good on-line strategy. Without this understanding it would also be difficult to talk intelligently to the people who will build your website.
