CREATE A WEBSITE FOR YOUR PRACTICE
You
need not be a web expert to create a website for your practice. There are
several quality web design software packages on the market. They range from
relatively easy (Expressions Web from Microsoft) to more challenging
(Dreamweaver from Adobe). Some internet service providers, such as AOL and Earthlink,
allow you to create a basic website for free using their proprietary software. Sites like Yahoo! and domain registrars, such as GoDaddy.com are also good resources.
They'll walk you through the entire process and publish your site on the
web in a matter of minutes.
Creating a website is not for everyone, however.
Time requirements, both for the initial design and the ongoing site maintenance,
may exceed one's resources. Hiring a skilled web professional is an option
to consider. Examine the pros and cons - cost of hiring a web designer vs
your valuable time. In other words, would your time be better spent with
clients and/or making new contacts)?
