Last weekend we attend Doggie boy’s End of Year concert and was treated to seeing him perform on stage. The theme was Bollywood and so we wore Indian costumes to the Dinner. Here is a picture that I have of Tiger Girl and me.
In this day an age it is important for businesses to have an online presence. The best way to do so would be to create a website showcasing your own product or services. This would help to increase the reach of your business and gather potential clientele for the company.
Creating a website need not be a mind blogging affair. You do not need to be an expert in HTML or CSS in order to create one. Many of you may not know that I have dabbled in building websites. I used to make one page websites to showcase what the Science community has done for the school and manage the Science webpage in the school I used to teach at.
However the greatest challenge I had in website building was when I started of building my dad’s budget travel website. It was a website that had to be multi-page , linking from each page, a contact form feature and a payment gateway. I spent quite awhile online browsing through and studying other budget travel websites online before taking the plunge.
I was glad to find website design software to help me in my website creation. There were many different templates which I could choose from that suited the budget travel website which he wanted me to create. I found by using the software and adding in the relevant information I could create an info page telling about the various type of information which the website would showcase like the budget hotels, travel safety tips, places of interest and other relevant tourist details. I could also create pages for each budget hotel stating their rates and amenities. There was also the option of adding a contact form so I could be able to receive queries from potential customers and taking booking by them. It was also a breeze to add in a paypal gateway so that I would be able to receive deposit payments for rooms that were booked online.
Making my own website sparked my interest in learning more about website design and creation. From there I moved on and started reading up and learned a bit of HTML using Dreamweaver. My next task is to revamp this budget travel website which I created four years ago and build it up from scratch.
