[Blindtlk] accessible Software to Make Accessible Websites?

[Steve Jacobson]

Hi,

I am not a web page expert by any means, but I know enough to know that you need to think through what you want the page to do to 
make a decision.  There is definitely a number of ways you can make an excessible web page, and each requires a different level of 
knowledge and effort.  You can theoretically make a simple page using Microsoft Word, although many will tell you the HTML that is 
generated isn't efficient.  However, if you want to add a counter to see how many people have visited your page or you want to 
include a form for contacts or you are selling books or services directly, then it gets more complicated.  You also must consider 
where you want the page to reside.  You don't want it on your computer and have it disappear every time you reboot or turn the 
computer off.  Many ISP's provide a place where they will store your page so it is available at all times and is independent of 
your computer.  Sometimes, though, you are stuck with their naming conventions although there are ways around that as well.  

In short, unless you just want to put up an information page that does not change often, you are probably going to find it best to 
hire someone whose skills and expertise you can trust.  This isn't because you couldn't do it, but rather, because you probably 
have more important ways to spend your time running your businesses.  Of course, if this is something that interests you, it can 
be fun to make a hobby part of your business success story.  You may find people over on NFB-WEB who could give you more 
knowledgeable insight.  Please understand this is just one man's opinion.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
