Web Site
Originally we planned to build the website
ourselves using FrontPage but as time went by the pressure of sorting out
the trip together with the death of Sue's parents meant this was just not
going to happen so we called in the professionals. Luckily we have
some old friends Dave & Angela who have a website design business called
Better Websites. In a past life Pete had experience of
writing the odd bit of software but was a complete novice when it came to
HTML and web design, so the key was structuring the site so it would be
relatively easy to maintain whilst on the road. Dave uses Dreamweaver
to design his sites so we needed to also ensure using FrontPage to do
updates would cause any problems. The only issue we encountered was
occasionally FrontPage assigns picture sizes overwriting the Dreamweaver
HTML script but this was easily sorted. We use WS_FTP Pro to upload
changes to the site and Adobe Photoshop for editing the pictures. To
access the Internet we will use Internet Cafes where we can with the option
of dial up either via landline or satellite phone as a back up. We
hope you like the design as much as we do and our thanks go to Dave & Angela
for all their invaluable help. If you need help with setting up a site for
business or for pleasure then we can thoroughly recommend Better Websites.
Their link can be found at the bottom of each page. Update:
Better Websites has been rebranded as adp Design, same people, same
recommendation. |
