Mitzrah's Get IT Right Column!! Making a homepage? Updated : Tuesday, August 25, 1998

1. What is your home page about?
   • Personal
     • Start with something you know really well, like yourself or your hobbies. Or your resume.
     • Then visit sites to learn HTML, good examples are my site right here, www.htmlgoodies.com and www.javagoodies.com
   • Business
   • Are you a small business, wanting to increase your web presence?
     • Get a book on HTML and learn it. It takes time, but you can do it in a week or so. With so so results.
     • You would need to purchase some software too, like an image editor, HTML editor etc.
     • You might also find it necessary to purchase a scanner, to scan photos.
     • You also need to register with an ISP, and find out what kind of web hosting they can offer you.
     • Register a domain name for yourself?
     • Learn computer graphic design.
   • Or are you a big organisation which can spend the money to :
     • Recruit an experienced web master (or several) including computer graphic designers.
     • Ensure there must be no room for error!
     • End up with a quality web site.
2. How much time can you invest in updating your home page?
   • Lots!
     • This is good because people like sites that continually expand and not grow stagnant.
   • Not much?
     • Make sure you update once every 2 weeks.
3. How much do you know about HTML and web administration?
   • Me is a newbie!
     • Come to this site often! You would get some exposure from learning stuff here that you don't get elsewhere.
   • I am adept but not that good .... yet!
     • Then let time mould you.
   • I am GREAT!
     • Create your own HTML guides :P
4. Can you find sources on the web about your home page content?
5. Can you make it worth while for your visitors to visit your web pages instead of going to other online sources?
   • Make visitors stay and keep on coming!
