Businesses normally don’t use a paint brush to put their name on the company car or building. They don’t use a copy machine to ‘print’ leaflets. They don’t because they know professional looking cars, buildings and leaflets do look professional.

So why would one create a company website without knowing a thing about creating websites. If you like to learn something, start a weblog or a website about your special holiday. If you want a professional looking website just do a search for a company who knows about design, usability, search engines and all other important stuff you need on a company site.

Heard of myspace marketing (http://www.profilepitstop.com/articles/myspace-help/effective-business-networking-with-myspace.php)? It's actually a way of promoting your product or service to millions of Myspace users.

What's the significance? These 9 billion users and counting can be your potential clients, depending, of course, of your product. You can choose your target market, build your own friends list, advertise with them. Send them message. Myspace is free, so you only need to spare some time to apply all the marketing strategies.

I strongly agree with the sentiment regarding the mess Microsoft Word (all versions at least since 97... perhaps even 95) makes with HTML code.

FrontPage is not much better. Occasionally the problem even shows up in email sent from Outlook Users who have Microsoft Word setup as their email editor. This makes the emails much bigger and 'heavier' than they need to be as Word adds it own useless convoluted code.

This often shows up when copying & pasting to/from word or documents that have been created into word to another HTML editor or email program. The messy code sometimes goes with and doesn't display properly.

Also the advanced features of Word won't work in Firefox or Opera (or any other non-Microsoft browser). The same effects can almost certainly be achieved for Firefox or Opera with much simpler methods.

If there's one message to take it is: Steer clear of Microsoft Office (Word, FrontPage, Outlook, Powerpoint, Publisher and even Excel - yes I've seen mess from each one of the aforementioned programs) for anything web/email/internet based.

"Most tools produce very inefficient HTML. Microsoft Word, for example, is often used in this fashion, and produces a horrible mess"

DON'T USE WORD! The only browser that can read that mess is I.E.

Also, give some thought to your domain name. It can help you with the search engines. Using the dry cleaning example, bubbasSeattleDryCleaning.com is likely to score higher on a web search for Seattle Drying Cleaning then bubbasDryCleaning.com.

I would suggest that the person who is interested in establishing a web site for his business check out the free service offered by Microsoft: "Windows Live". A domain name is offered free of charge through this service. I have used it successfully for our church and my wife's small business. The tools are very easy to use.
