Website Design

Clients are often very specific about the fonts they want to see on their website. Unfortunately, there are technical and financial issues that need to be taken into consideration.

There are many ways to create your own website with little technical knowledge and many of these are good. A large proportion of web host providers now offer a simple content management system and a set of website templates for no extra cost once you have purchased their hosting. There are a number of services which will allow you to create a simple website (usually a blog) for free.
