updates frequently. Taking a class now to learn how to design and update
your website is a good investment that will save you money in the future.

is a simple, inexpensive program that is similar to MS Word (PC only).
Dreamweaver
is another good program for both Macs & PC.
You can also use a portfolio site to get

expensive than having a custom site built for your work:
