Spread the web
Fran Sainsbury and William Perrin
The Problem
• People we like are being ripped off
• With rubbish, expensive inflexible websites
• Why don’t they do it themselves?
Seven hours project management and testing to embed a YouTube video on flat low traffic html site
People lack confidence and basic skills
• Think its technical and complicated
• People often literally afraid of the web
• They had a go many years ago
Inspiration
Simple sites
Wordpress or
on Wordpress.com
