Editing HTML
HTML, or hypertext markup language, is the language that tells web browsers how to display a page. For example, to <b>bold</b> text in HTML, you would start with the <b> tag and end with </b>. Anything between these tags will appear bold (visitors will not see the <b></b>). When someone visits www.yourdomain.com, they are actually accessing the index.html file in your main web site directory.

Editing HTML requires software specifically designed for the task. Examples include Microsoft FrontPage, HotDog Professional, and Macromedia Dreamweaver. There is also shareware and freeware HTML editors available from popular download sites such as download.com. 

Even the best HTML editing software can be confusing for beginners. If you fall into this category, we suggest using an online site builder / HTML generator. No knowledge of HTML is required -- online site builders ask you questions and then form a web site based on that information. Some site builders allow you to control the look of the site, insert graphics, scripts, etc. Most site builders are free but the more advanced ones charge an access fee. Some free site builders include:

Durgin & Crowell

We converted Durgin & Crowell's static web site into a powerful content management system. This allowed them to keep their design but made it easy to update and edit the site whenever the need arises. In addition, we integrated Intelli-Send, our custom e-newsletter system, into their back-end administration area. The newsletter system also allows Durgin & Crowell customers to sign-up for specific newsletter groupings right on the web site.
