Welcome to my Demo Pages!

When "nbirdy" approached me about an affordable website I initially offered to prepare a proposal - then it occurred to me that the most affordable option was hiding just the other side of my Inbox...

Greetings nbirdy!
To other guests, Welcome!

The following pages briefly explain some of my favorite let's-keep-the-cost-down options for developing a presence on the Internet. Almost everything you will see here (including this site) is template-driven, "themed", downloaded as legitimate freeware (yes friend programmer, your mark is still in my source-code), or just plain written by an out-of-the-box code generator.
(This is a "Microsoft FrontPage" site, for example.)

"Hand-Coded" does not necessarily mean "Better"

But it almost invariably does mean expensive.
For most of us, our Internet Presence is neither unique nor complex; why should we hire an engineer to reinvent the "wheel" we'll use to roll down the Information Superhighway when it's available "ready to roll" from a number of vendors at a reasonable price?
