Well, it can be done in notepad, but that is much more like coding There are some online website building tools, but I don't know if you can built sites to host in other places with those. (Mind you - probably nothing stopping you building the site in one place, then copying it to the other )

I think I would need to assist a more capable volunteer rather than do this myself. As Seventh Sense is almost complete, I imagine Dave would like a page up in days or weeks at most, rather than years.

Doomy, thanks for your interest in helping me out!
I know of a freeware webpage builder called Nvu that works okay. It doesn't have the fancy fetures of some of the $$ programs, but like I said, I don't need fancy. If it able to use a style sheet, like project aon's, that would be pretty sweet. Even if not, it might still do the trick. So, maybe you could check it out.
If you opt not to, I completely understand.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings - while I'd be happy to help someone else design the site, actually building the thing single-handed, with no prior experience whatsoever, is a big ask. It wouldn't be so bad if it was for a personal project when I could take my time with learning the necessary skills, but I'd hate to be responsible for delaying a project that someone else has worked on for over a year.

No worries man. If no-one volunteers for the task, I'll come up with a site myself. I'll release the new version first, and then focus on getting a site together.

Hi I just want to give some encouragement... I might have made it sound difficult, but it's not - using any site builder, a simple site can be put together very quickly. In most cases, you just pick the style, give the pages some names, add the text & screenshots and you are away If you are happy with the AON stylesheet, the site can be built using AON's built-in WIKI functions. I've not played with these in quite some time though so not quite sure how to use them to build staff sites - I can track down info if you are interested, or please feel free to post a message to the volunteer list.

I can't promise great (or any) results at this time though. However Dave would need to supply the text and screenshots he wants put online. I'd also need the ability to alter the PA site if the pages are to be put on there, no?

Rahenna has been putting together a bang-up site for the Seventh Sense project. So, you're officially off the hook, Doomy!

Dave, unless you have objections, I will kill off the blog-based thing I'd created. Don't want a ghost site to confuse people.

Hehe, you've been saved, Doomy. The site's almost done! Just need to get it up onto the Aon server and make sure everything still works as expected. Dave's been a real pleasure to work with.

The website is up and running! Rahenna made a very good-looking, functional and easy to update site. Thanks again and again!

Dave, you haven't said anything about the mock-up site yet, but it makes no sense to keep that one alive. Going to take it down now.
