 Inexpensive Web Design – Anyone Can Do It

 

Web design doesn’t have to require expensive or fancy software or mean that you must be a computer programmer who knows html.  If you are familiar with Microsoft Word and know how to embed photos or graphics into a document, you have the basic skills for web design. The commands to link a document and save it in html format are part of Microsoft Word. There are several free software programs which will quickly and efficiently upload multiple files and webpage graphics content to a hosting web server.  When you leave this session, you’ll know how to create, edit, link and edit webpages with commonly available or free software.  It’s a valuable skill and one that is becoming increasingly important in today’s tech-savy workplace.
