The Complete Accidental Webmasters™ Tutorial Series
Despite the overwhelming advantages of a Web site, most small local businesses have at least one Yellow Pages ad, but they do not have a Web site.
And for the few that do have a website, all you find is a corporate brochure about themselves, with the usual suspects: “About Us”… The president and key personnel. Our history… how long they’ve been in business. Awards they’ve won. Blah blah blah.
The end result is that these sites are abandoned after a year or so for a lack of traffic, or they just sit there collecting e-dust (afterall hosting is a cheap commodity these days, especially if there’s no traffic to the Web site).
But that’s a great opportunity for you (and me), no matter where you live, to step in as a local business webmaster and build Websites That Work™ for small businesses in your community.

Even if you do not speak HTML or graphics, I am going to provide you with practical, easy-to-follow guides to help you launch a brand new career as a Local Business Webmaster, building simple, elegant and accessible Websites That Work™ for your clients.
