There is absolutely NO reason for any Lycoming County small business, group, or individual that desires a web page . . . to not have one . . . given the availability of today's user-friendly web tools, and available local assistance.
3. The Concept
You can create and maintain an inexpensive web page at a cost of about $9 per year, that you can easily update yourself, by doing the following 3 steps:
- Create a web page, by using a currently-free blog from Google
- Adjust blog settings to get rid of all possible clutter, and remake it into a "business blog".
- Create a "forwarding domain name" of the format "YourName.com" from GoDaddy.com ($9/year), and forward it to your web page.
