and to any organisation for whom he develops the site. His sites are
generally hosted on free space and a domain name forwards visitors to the
chosen server. Domain forwarding (usually through
www.namesecure.com) means that if a
server goes down the site can be placed somewhere else easily. |
| The sites are generally
authored using an HTML editor, FrontPage 2003, which he finds makes site
maintenance easy. The original creation of a site is only a small amount
of the total effort involved and FrontPage makes changes and additions easy.

people have with slowly loading "cute" sites with graphics in which they are
not interested. |
| Web design is a continual
learning process, so Geoffrey is keen to have feedback and hints that may
improve his work. |

functions, some are largely text based but many are illustrated as his
longstanding hobby is photography. Among his sites are
