[geoffmoss37 at optusnet.com.au]

Hi Folks

Came across some interesting material that would be of use in class developing websites.
The following small business technology site has a number of interesting articles on creating and developing a website from a business point of view.

While late for this year the notes could be incorporated into a web development class during the year in lower classes or be used in class for next year.

Apologies for the long link.  The link has links to the various short articles (some 45 in total and growing) which are advising small business on aspects of web design, security, etc.  They are welll worth a look.
