Create your own free joomla or wordpress website
I started building websites in 1996 with Wiltshire Crimestoppers before becoming the first webmaster for the Wiltshire Police in 2000. I moved on to webmaster for Kennet District Council in October 2002 for seven dynamic years. I have great experience in all areas of web solutions from project management, design, hosting, promotion, integration, accessibility, images, video and social networking. I have managed numerous web projects while managing and developing skills within an excellent team. I have worked on Frontpage, Dreamweaver, Notes, Livelink. ASP, PHP and now recommend Joomla or if you are a blogger wordpress.
I want to pass on my knowledge and inspire you in your web project and business web solutions.

What you need to do is fill in this form or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to show your interest / what the name / content of your site is.
So while you wait for news on your website, you need to start planning.
You will need content, as I always say a website is only as good as its content *smile*
Identify what your site is about, write up to 20 words that would best describe it.
Write down any keywords / phrases that people would use to find your site.
You can of course start typing up your words as you can copy and paste into your site.
Think about structure, start with a few pages.
Look out a few photos: Do you have a Youtube video?
Do you have a facebook pag, if not it may be worth starting one.
And of course be inspired to share your site with others!
Of course you can, at any stage, buy in extra help with images, forms or video. Though I am confident you will be able to follow the lessons and create your own dynamic site.
Happy planning *smile*
