Step 7 - HTML Editor
Unless you want to learn HTML and various scripting
you need a good HTML editor. There are many good HTML editors
out and many are free. With Internet Explorer you get Frontpage
Express and Netscape has Composer. Purchased programs have
the most features, options and are easy to use and update. Two
popular programs are Microsoft Frontpage and Dreamweaver.

layout will go) you can start putting your information
in from your outline. Let's take the outline in Step 1 and use
that for the basis of an example VA website. Every website
will have its unique feel and information depending on your
business needs and your personal preferences. Take a look
at other VA website to get ideas, but please do not plagiarize
