Building on the foundations.

This is the really ‘techie’ side of the process and it’s the moment when the words and images are gathered together and the person actually building (i.e., programming) the web site starts work.

Doing that leaves you free to get on with doing what you do best, which is building your Internet business, rather than building the web site if you get my drift…
