My Web site is finished - or is it?

I can't believe we are at the end of the class.

When I first created my Web site, there was something about it that just didn't feel right. I then realized that it didn't properly reflect the owner of the business, so I pretty much started over. I feel like it can still use some tweeking here and there, but I'm much more pleased with the results the second time around.

I was also pleased to discover that after being out of school for a bit more than a few years and in the same occupation for 30 years, I'm not too old to learn something new. What's even better is I have already been asked by a couple of people to create Web sites for their businesses.

There's still a lot to learn and I can't wait to see what lies ahead!

Shopping Carts

Just as in researching web authoring tools, I discovered once again that "free" is just a catchphrase to lure you in.

The person I am creating this Web site does not want to set up a shopping cart so I used my Pay Pal account and put in a donation button. I will remove it once the instructor has graded this assignment.

I did learn that if he does ever decided to sell from his site, something to consider is how a program handles international sales.

Web Site Interaction

A person could really go crazy adding interaction to their Web site. I had already put a counter on my page and, while Mr. Kent advises against using a counter, my friend wants one on his site and so it will stay. I did change the form of the counter and have now added a guestbook. I checked out numerous other sites and decided that http://bravenet.com/ was the best way to go.

Moving Right Along

The further I get in this course, the more I realize that I have made the right decision in my career change. I am really looking to seeing just where my imagination takes me.

I submitted my Web site to Google, as well as to a free search engine submission service.
