For many small businesses with a small or limited budget the question often arises “can I afford to build a website for my company?”.In the late 1990’s for a business to have a website was something of a novelty that only many early adopters had. However lets look at some recent statistics about internet usage. As of 2005 there well over 1 billion people using the internet In the United States over 65% of the population or 225 million people have access to the internet on a daily basis Over 85% of US consumers who have internet access use ...
So as you can see many people choose to create a webste. Any questions
to be honest thogh, the people who are out there charging you $$$ to build a website are usually amatures. A pro will make a good 5 page site for about $40. I've seen people charge inexcess of $100!!!
webmastering and website building have to be the most prevelent and unqualified industry out there today.
Anybody who charges only $40 for a 5-page website is anything but a pro. Web design firms in my town will charge anything from $1000-2000 (AUD) for a site of that size.
IMHO It doesn't matter whether the maker of the website is a pro or amature as long as the site looks professional. I'd rather pay $100 for a professional site made by amatures rather than $1000 to a professional to make a professional site.
most of the money yuo pay is for security. the more money you pay, the more LIKELY someone would work harder on it. Although many kids nowadays can make a professional site, and would do it for a lot cheaper.
You can always hire a freelance webdesigner which would be cheaper by far.

The difference between a pro and an amateur is that a pro will make your site look good in a variety of browsers on all platforms at different screen resolutions and at different text sizes. The site should also be accessible to people using other devices like screenreaders. The site should also be optimised well for search engines.
But the most fundamental difference between the two is that a professional will create a website that meets a certain set of criteria/targets. A site is a failure if it looks good, but doesn't actually do what it was intended to do. A lot of people who want websites don't have a clear idea of what they want a site for. The professional web designer can help people identify their goals and suggest ways that their website can achieve them. The pro will also monitor the site over time to make sure that is continuing to meet those goals and amend it if is not.
Now, if you think you can get all of that for $100 you're dreaming.
Now, if you think you can get all of that for $100 you're dreaming.
I was talking about a SIMPLE 5-page website, not about a dynamic CMS site that will achieve the goals and dreams of the client. $1000 for a 5-page website it ridiculous!
Even amatures can create a site that looks professional, make it look good on most browsers & resolutions and how much SEO can you do on a 5-page website! for a 5-page website, I think linkbuilding is more important.
There are many different prices for different types of sites. Some prices are for a flash site with xhtml or php. There are many different combinations with different designs and some more complex coding that takes longer and adds more features. A site that is 5 pages with a log in system will cost more then a 5 page site just containing information. A site with flash will cost more than a site without it. It all depends on the content. Of course there will be more and more sites in the future and people aren't going to stop making them or charging money for them. Some people charge cheap not because they aren't that good, it is because maybe they feel it is easy to make sites and feel people don't have to bay hundreds of dollars.

I was thinking what names Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo would come up with. Microsoft called their
latest console the 360 because of the console revolving around the user. Which I agree it does.
Nintendo called theirs the Wii because it's meant to be a family console. If you look at the two
'i's in the logo they bow at the end of the commercial. They're supposed to be people. I
have to say the Wii does a good job of getting people together in the same room Sony called their
latest console the Playstation 3... Anywho, what names do you think they'....
I have been working in Jakarta as programmer for three years already. In those time I have created

M icrosoft has outlined some of the improvements it has made to the reliability of Internet

I was wondering.. I love trap17 and its a great way to actually host a decent forum.. but.. would it
be possible to also host gameservers? they shouldn't be that big and it depents on ur credits
how many slots you've got.. for example: I've got 49 credits, and a regular slot for a
random game costs 7 credits. Do the maths, its a 7-slot gameserver. If u want a 30 slots gameserver,
you'll need 210 credits for 1 month.. I can promise you that hosting gameservers will gain
trap17 loads, and i mean loads of new members. I know, its more expensive, since it t....
QUOTE All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting. We do this to ensure that
Accounts are legal and have permissable contents. I totally agree with the need to ensure that
accounts are legal and have permissable contentes, but I believe there's a big portion of forum
members who speak English as their second language, including myself, and so, I assume some time
they may need free hosting in their native language. So, why can't Trap17 host sites in those
non-English languages which have a large community in the forums? I'm sure that t....

-Computers - The future - Who knows - I often wonder what the average home
computer will be like in ten or twenty years time; They seem to get larger, and have more functions,
be faster, and have more RAM ect. People always look for speed when buying a computer - But is this
really the way forward? If you have formatted your hard drive, then re-installed your operating
system; you will have noticed, that things run very smooth, very fast, and with few or no error

Dreaming The Future Many people believe that dreams are a warning of whats to come. I am one

itself handles basic browsing navigation (Back, Stop, Reload, etc) using its own toolbars, external
toolbars often add additional functionality to browsers (additional search fields, form-fil....

Another article I did to compare IPV4 and IPV6. Ipv4 vs. Ipv6 Ipv4 is the fourth version of
Internet protocol, but the first one to be widely deployed. It uses a 32 bit addressing and allows
for 4,294,967,296 unique addresses. Ipv4 has four different class types, the class types are A, B,
C, and D. An example of Ipv4 is 207. 142. 131. 235. The ipv4 uses a subnet mask because of the large
numbers of computers used today. The subnet mask helps reduce the number of unique IP given to
companies, corporations and so on. An example of a subnet mask is a company. A arch....
