"Someone" said that the Net is doubling in size every 30 days. More and more organizations are developing or thinking about developing Web sites as a method of providing information and communicating with members(old and potential. "We" thought that it might not be a bad idea to set up a Wedmaster service using persons with disabilities as the Webmasters. The service is a regular company(supposed to make money) charging low, but competitive rates. The Webmasters would: a. Design and implement your site to your specifications and: b. Provide ongoing maintenance,technical support,etc. (impassioned statement -too many sites have been developed and left sitting there AND we wonder why they don't get tremendous response. They have to be nutured and modified based on the comments from consumers. Sites should be updated weekly) and: c. Develop, implement and monitor your private listserv/ newsgroup for your members. With modern technology, these Webmasters can be located anywhere across the country. We will be working with local support groups to identify and train these people. I have prepared a brief description of the service plus costs. It can be found on http://sonic.net/nilp/web.html We welcome your comments. Actually, we welcome YOUR BUSINESS. Richard W. Fee
