PROMOTING YOUR CATTERY
How to Construct a Web Site
The following articles are reprinted, with permission, from the Cat Fanciers' Alamanc and were written by Karen Lawrence during 1996-1997 as part of a series of articles on the subject of the Internet and the Cat Fancy.
UPDATE NOTE: Since these articles were written there have been significant changes in the quantity of web and graphics editing programs available, and those mentioned here are most likely "dated" (although I continue to use them with great satisfaction). For a look at which programs are currently available to help put your web site together, I strongly recommend exploring tucows.com.
Here's step-by-step instructions that will make building your own cattery web site a breeze.
