INTRODUCTION

What if I told you that you could build a Web site for your business in only one day . . . for less than $500?

What if I told you that all you need is a computer, some basic computer experience, some software, and this book . . . along with a little elbow grease?

Maybe you’d call me crazy. “Don’t you need an expensive Web design firm to create a nice Web site?” I can hear the skepticism in your voice. “Or at least, a decent marketing firm?”

You certainly can use a Web design firm or a marketing firm. There is nothing wrong with that. And for many people with time constraints and a larger budget, it is the perfect choice. But for your first Web site, you really don’t have to. This book will show you how to do it yourself.

The Quick-and-Easy Web Site is designed to teach business owners how to create a standard, five-page Web site in as little as one day—for as little as $500. That’s it. No fancy gadgets or tricks. No hard-core computer programming required. No knowledge of Flash or HTML necessary. Just simple, easy Web stuff.
