I know where their marketing comes from, it is a great program. With this process, do you have to buy an area? BTW, there is a free sales and marketing class Nove 16 in Boston if you want to go, let me know.

Brush, I had a customer offer to tweak mine, I was all into it until I noticed that he uses AOL and has dial up.

Re: Building My Website Any Suggestions?


I use lunarpages for hosting and I buy my domain from them also. $110 a year. www.paintrochester.com I built the site myself. I have never done anything like that before and I get lots of compliments from customers. I just bought some new software to do a new site for myself. I will be posting it when I am done.
