Yahoo Offers Free 5 Page Small Biz Websites - 4/13/2005 11:36:48
Yahoo Local has a beta in which small businesses can have a free 5-page website. Here's the link: http://listings.local.yahoo.com .
I just got through playing around with it, it's live here: http://mi.local.yahoo.biz/suskiwebdesign . Here's a tip, once you publish the site, you can't edit it until it's out of "pending" status. I went back to add graphics, but cannot at this time.
It'll be interesting to see how this evolves.

I'm with you in regards to templated sites and freebies. This was just an experiment, and I thought others might be interested in seeing what Yahoo has in beta.
In retrospect, I shouldn't have pasted copy from my own site, http://suskiwebdesign.com, to use with this Yahoo freebie. As I mentioned, I'm currently unable to edit anything on the Yahoo pages because it's considered "pending" by Yahoo. Until it's out of "pending", I'm SOL!

we are, however, moving gradually towards web-in-a-box that will cater to small business owners. before you scoff, think of how far code writing software such as FP has come - programming like Visual Basic moves toward drop and drag code. I behooves anyone who wants to keep a career in web design to move beyond wysiwhg editors and get more knowledgable so you always have a skill

If Yahoo's freebie helps drive traffic to a company's main website, might as well do it! I'm out of "pending" and modified the copy a bit. Graphics will have to wait.
