Welcome to the Internet. This page is intended to provide help in the construction of your own website, with tips and links to other instructional and resource pages. We also offer production services, including scanning, file conversion, video transfers, image manipulation, audio, hosting, and Page Design.

     The first thing you need is a place to put your Homepage. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) probably provides you with at least 5MB of web space as part of your service agreement, but there are many other free hosting services available, and these can host your pages even if you have no ISP service of your own. Most of these Free Website services have some sort of a Page Wizard, which allows you to choose from a list of options to automatically create your pages. This can be a quick and easy way to gain your initial presence on the Internet, but the end result is often a dull page, that blends in with thousands of others just like it. The resources on this page will help make your page stand out, look good, and fulfill it's purpose.

     To begin, contact your ISP about webspace, or get your FREE Homepage from these and other locations:

Why Wait Move to EarthLink
Yahoo GeoCities * Angelfire * Tripod * * Free Yellow * XOOM

(NOTE: These links are included for your convenience, and are not meant to endorse one provider over another. There are a LOT of webspace providers out there.)
