The best bit is, it’s not very technical, and if we can do it, so can you! Our Domain Name (blackberrylane.co.uk) The site is registered through freenetname, who offer free Domain Names, together with e-mail facilities, etc. They suspended new membership for a while, but are now OPEN FOR NEW BUSINESS again. We were recommended by a friend, and the whole signing-up process is on-line and very easy. Site Building Not highly technical, as we already had Serif PagePlus. This has a Web Page builder, just like ordinary DTP (Desk Top Publishing), with a few minor changes, and you publish to the Web rather than onto paper. We also found that freenetname gave some excellent basic hints on using HTML, which helped us a great deal. Specialist Software The only other software we needed was an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. Freenetname offered a price saving on Terrapin FTP and it has proved effective and again, simple to use. Cute PDF Writer Most computer users will have heard of and used Adobe Acrobat Reader, but we were told about a useful little program that will convert any file into a PDF, and have found it very useful for putting our tool catalogue, price list and order form on the web.
