Anyone can design their own webpage, it's easy and rewarding!

      If you're like most web users, you have a basic understanding of how to use your computer and common programs such as Microsoft Word. If so, you're already qualified to design your own webpage. With the advent of what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) web-publishing programs, anyone can make a webpage as easily as creating a document in Word. Even if you've thought you could never make your own webpage, you may be surprised at just how easy it is. We have prepared two step-by-step introductions for two of the easiest programs to use for making your web page.
     Many of our customers have been very sucessful using Microsoft Frontpage and Serif WebPlus. Host4Yourself fully supports Frontpage Extensions.
