Companies large and small differ on their office dress policies -- from being required to wear three-piece suits in the office to being allowed to work in a SpongeBob T-shirt and torn cutoffs. However, all companies, despite their differences in formality and workwear, want to present themselves effectively to the outside world. As such, they want their Web sites to reek of confidence, capability, and professionalism. No one feels good about forking over hard-earned money to a company with a cheesy and tacky Web site (unless that company sells cheese and tacks).

In this chapter, you explore the basics of creating a company Web site -- and look at the typical elements you want to utilize as you design your own company's site.
