Kids Build Websites Don't They?

Kids build web sites don't they?

I have just been through and excruciating process with an ex-potential customer who thinks he knows best. He thinks that a one page website on Tripod will do the trick. Even though he is headed out next week for 6 months in the Philippines, he is shocked and appalled that web sites cost more than about $50. After all, "Kids build websites don't they?"

Tim Knox in his article "Why you need a website" says "It's actually better to have no website at all than to have one that makes your business look bad. Your site speaks volumes about your business. It either says, "Hey, look, we take our business so seriously that we have created this wonderful site for our customers!" or it screams, "Hey, look, I let my 10-year-old nephew design my site. Good luck finding anything!"

And this would have been a hard slog anyway. He wants to share his book of very bad poetry in the hopes that someone will send him a cheque and actually BUY the book they can download for free.

Here is a small sample, I would not torture you by giving you more.

"Thinking of you

In so many ways

Really helps to

Brighten my days"

Excuse me for a moment while I study Grey's Anatomy. I will be removing my own appendix next week. Since doctors are getting younger every day, how hard can it be?
