I have no choice! The financial obligations of a four member >>family require that I provide the necessary basic items. I can no longer >>put them through doing without while I persue a dream - no matter how >>promising that dream may be. >> Our conversation revealed that you are a wealthy man.

I on the other >>hand am not a financially wealthy man but I am the richest man to whom you >>have ever spoken. I have the love and respect of my family, my business >>associates and am well thought of in my community. My family has struggled >>with me and sacrificed because they believe in me and my ideas; so do my >>business partners. They have confidence in me, also believing that we can >>make money with Internet Publishing. >> John, the danger in the Internet world is there are false realities, >>mirages, things that appear to be good ideas but for some change in >>technology, some alluding mis-calculation, some educational shortcoming ; >>the entire picture changes. The net is moving so fast that a simple error >>is magnified and even the need for correction may have passed you by. >> An example is that we thought that we could design the best and most well >>thought through "web pages"; today with home maid web page design programs, >>my child can design a respectable web page. Technology overcame the >>opportunity It will continue to be difficult to singularly sell web page >>design when there is a computer hacker in the basement that can quickly and >>at minimal cost produce a facsimile of a " web page" but not a true >>Information System. Considering that there are web page designers on every >>corner I have determined that the best way to use web page design is to use >>that skill for your own purposes. Don't set up a vacation system for >>someone else; set up your own. Use your design and information structure >>skills and your domain name advantage to your own benefit. >> A little about web page design. I remember when I first started on the >>Internet it seemed that I had to go through a lot of commands to end up with >>a lot of nothing. Today on the net it still seems that way in many >>instances. I think that each page of an IS should have a planned reason for >>existing as well as each link. Those combination of pages should be >>calculated to draw the user into only one natural interactive conclusion. >>That conclusion is to take the pre determined action planned by the IS >>designer. That action could be to place an order, call for information, >>E-Mail a request, or participate in some other way. >> As I said each page and link should have a reason for existing but it >>should also provide some valuable information. After clicking on ten links >>you should have ten times as much information as you did when you started. >> I have looked over your GCC site. There are a lot of ways that we could >>work together. Combining sites may not be a bad idea. >>INTERNET PUBLISHING, INC. >> I.P.I. was originally designed to have three departments: >> 1. Web page (information system) design. >> A. Domain >> I.
