Today the Internet has become a crucial part of your ‘marketing mix’ where your site is the first point of contact your customers have.

So what does it say about you when they look at your site and find it 2 years out of date? Maybe it strteched your budget to set up the site and now you cannot afford a web designer to update it? Or you would like to do it yourself but don’t know how to use HTML.

We give you a cost effective solution. Our training coupled with Macromedia Contribute software makes you a Webmaster / Editor with full control over your web content. If you can use MS Word, you can use Contribute. We install the software on your machine, train you and off you go. If you do get stuck after the days training, then we provide telephone support free for one month.
