| This is an example of how to set up a free brochure type page for your own small business. If you tutor or run a business out of your home, there is no reason why you shouldn't have a web presence. It's an easy way to put out basic information and will improve your visibility. And the basic website is free. Most website builders are set up so that if you follow their templates, you shouldn't make any serious web designing mistakes. Nonetheless, keep the following in mind: If you are uploading any photos, make sure they are optimized for the web. If you don't know what that means, get someone to do it for you. Please, please, don't add music to your page. I personally find it to be most often to be obnoxious without adding anything to the page. If you do add it, make it soft with some means of easily turning it off. The reality is that a lot people surf the web at work and don't welcome an audio announcements of their surfing. Keep fonts consistent and easy to read. This is not the time to go off the beaten path for interesting fonts. It could cause problems in loading your page. Buy your own domain name. They're aren't expensive and it looks professional on your business cards. |

| I'm a part-time website designer myself and believe that most people can set up and maintain a very basic website without spending a lot, if any, money. Unless you are setting up a store or some detailed order forms, you can go low-cost and still very effective. However, if you insist on spending money so that you feel like you have a professional site, feel free to throw it my way. At least I will show you how to maintain it yourself without so that you can pay for your child's braces rather than mine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
