My objectives?



Use a K.I.S.S. approach to help others
build a web site for fun.
Show how it can be done with free
software programs.
Develop interest in a QCS Webmaster SIG.
What do you need to get started in
simple web page design?
1.
2.
3.
A web page editor
An image editor
An address or location on the web
All three are available without cost!
Class members receive a free CD
with these downloads:
Photo Editing programs:
PaintShop Pro (two trial versions),
Gimp, Irfanview, and Picasa.
FrontPage Express: WYSIWYG page editor
WS_FTP95: a file transfer utility
Is that really enough?

Yes, these programs are good enough to
build respectable pages.

The new QCS site was designed using only
FrontPage Express.

Beginners find the simpler programs easier
to learn.
In FrontPage Express, you instantly see how
your page will appear on the Web.
It’s fun to use and works a lot like MS Word.
GeoCities: Our Free Host Site

15 MB of space for each personal web site.

Simple upload and file management systems
