Hi there
I am Tony Thompson, serial website designer over three decades. I have worked with tools like Adobe Dreamweaver to design bespoke websites for international business, as well as coding websites from scratch before Dreamweaver was imagined. What is true of most websites is that you don't need fancy tricks to make an engaging site just a clear plan of what the website is for and good signposting so that visitors can explore
Watch out for updates to my tricks page for what you need to make a great site quickly and inexpensively.
It is a pleasure to prepare my last site. Can it be true, I have worked on some leading websites for insurance, shipping, engineering and schools but this is one of the simplest. It is true that it was put together in a few minutes but it all worked without special software and just a tiny amount of knowledge which can be found by a search on YouTube(R). To make your own site you really need to have a plan of how it all fits together, some pictures and words.
I have only made five pages for this student site using the great tools that are included for free on Google Sites
