This course is designed to get any business or individual started on one of the most intuitive and affordable website building & maintenance programs - Coffeecup. You will be shown • The basics of design and construction of a Website. • How to insert text, graphics and images. • How to build a simple multi-page navigation structure. • How to setup simple links. • How to get additional “free” sources off the internet. • How to upload your site to your service provider. • How to change and update your site.
