Why can't I design my own web site?
You can, and many people do. However, few do it well. Imagine that you are laying out an advertisement for a printed page -- only you don't know how large the page will be, and you don't know what size of type your customer will see. It could be printed on a 5½" by 8½" sheet of note paper or a full sized sheet of newsprint. It could be printed in 8-point type (like this) or in 20 point type for the visually impaired (like this). Web site designers confront this problem with every site they design. Computer monitors vary in resolution from 640 by 480 pixels to 2048 by 1536 pixels -- more than a 3 to 1 range (WebTV® viewers are restricted to 576 pixels), and not everybody surfs with their browser maximized to full screen (I don't). Most web browsers also let the user select font sizes over at least a 4 to 1 range.Needless to say, what looks perfect on your computer screen might look hideous or virtually unreadable on someone else's. WebSpinners.com will design your web site so that it looks good -- or at least readable -- on every visitor's screen.
Nearly every word processor, spreadsheet, and database program available has an HTML (HyperText Markup Language) save option, and there are numerous graphical WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web site editors on the market (e.g. Microsoft® FrontPage®). Unfortunately, good web site design does not lend itself well to automated approaches, and without extensive knowledge and experience in HTML design, the use of these programs is more likely than not to produce sites that look acceptable on only one or a very few computer screens, or which are viewable on only one brand or version of browser. What you see may be what you get, but not necessarily what everyone else gets.
With sufficient knowledge and experience, the use of these automated programs become unnecessary. WebSpinners.com does not employ such tools, preferring to use only tools that produce tight, clean pages optimized for all viewers and the fastest access possible.
