No URL yet, the original site is www.faithecchurch.org . I started out with
a badly botched up site and completely rewrote it using FrontPage 2003. My
initial try is what I'm calling the interim site, works but not fancy or all
that up to date code wise. I have done some research and discovered css and
decided to rework the site to get most of the formatting out of the content
page. My main goal is to get a technically correct site that will allow
most browsers to view it in an acceptable way, including voice browsers for
the blind(it is a church site after all shouldn't it be accessible to
everyone who wants to 'view' it) and one that is not completely ugly ;) I'm
not looking for extreme or fancy just down to earth, I'm not good enough to
do a 'Heavenly' site :)
