Instant Web Site

For many businesses, you don't need a big-production web site. You may only want a small stop on the Net where customers and prospects can find your good information, list of services and products, and your contact info.

These days when over half of all people shop the Net, having a web site is almost essential to stay competitive.

Here are some ways to get a web site quickly and without any special knowledge or experience.

One of the easiest online web site builder's is AOL Hometown's 1-2-3 Publish. You don't have to be an AOL subscriber to get it. Click to:

Choose the type of page you want to build, then type or copy/paste your info into the templates. These sites look quite professional. Template-design technology has advanced rapidly in recent months.

You can get a more high-tech free site at Netscape's SiteCentral at:

Your site can feature headlines that are automatically updated throughout the day. There is even a bar chart you can customize to report your sales information.

Other fine instant site building programs can be found at xoom.com (slick looking), tripod.com (they've been perfecting this for years), and homestead.com (the first of the template site programs). All are free.
