to access the site and program FrontPage to revise the site from time to time.  FrontPage, like many programs, uses a graphic approach instead of a programming approach to put items in the web page and to make changes to the site.  So, FrontPage has many features that are similar to Word and Publisher.  A few hours of trying it will get you familiar enough to make your changes.  You can also pay someone to do the updates and manage the site if that becomes necessary.

2.  The "domain name" for websites identifies who owns the site (Who) and which server hosts that site (Where).  If you were to change the name of the website, you would also have to change the hosting address with a web hosting company.  They take care of the site and protect it from viruses and hackers.  Everyone gets to the site with the domain name, i.e., www.hoawillowgreens.com.  Presently, Willow Greens uses www.godaddy.com as the Internet Service Provider (ISP). 

3.  Every Web site has down time when things wear out or viruses corrupt the files, or when maintenance is preformed.  Web hosting companies may limit the number of pages or size of your site unless you pay more.  If you have a large number of hits, some companies want you to pay for their extra bandwidth used by your site.  It is important to find a company that is consistent and is careful to keep backups of your site daily. 

4.  Make sure your hot spots continue to work as they should so that people can navigate your site easily and that the pages quickly appear on the screen.
