Moving Forward

Stef was surprised to see me shut down my laptop. "Aren't we going to sign up for our hosting services?" she asked me.

I shook my head. "Not yet," I said. "You've got your domain names, which is the important thing-it's important to grab those right away while they're available. The hosting can wait, though, until you have some content for the site."

"Or you want to use your new email address," added Claude.

"That's right," I agreed. "But otherwise, there's no point in doing it yet."

"It's getting late anyhow," Anita said, "the kids will be back shortly."

"You've given us a lot to think about again," said Claude. "What's our next session going to be about?"

"Designing your site," I answered. "We're going to talk about page layout, navigation, and basic Web design principles. Can you all come to my place next time? I'll need a bigger screen to show you some things."

Nobody objected, so we agreed on a time and I left Anita's house just as her husband returned with the children. It had been a long session, but we'd ended it just in time!
