I’m sure there are many of us who feel very comfortable walking through a website start to finish. And there are those who may not feel like an expert at the entire process, but are comfortable with some part of it. For this reason I’d like to divide up the process into sections and ask others to step in and present a section. Trust me when I say that this will get pretty boring if I’m the only one presenting! So step up and take a section.
As you can see, there are quite a few sections. Will we get through all of this on Tuesday? Not likely, but we’ll get through what we can and make sure all questions are answered along the way.
