ABSTRACT

The reasons for producing a web site are numerous: it may be part of a project assignment for a university or college course or a marketing strategy for your business; you may have a personal interest that you wish to publish to a wider audience, or you need to set up a site to promote the activities of a group to which you belong. Whatever the reason for creating a web site, whether as part of a programme of study or the development of career skills, web production and publishing are attracting a great deal of attention from employers, the media and the general public as exciting and important new ventures. What was, less than a decade ago, the preserve of enthusiasts has become a mass medium to compare with television, radio and print.
