Building your own: a physician's guide to creating a web site

Article Abstract:

Physicians developing a World Wide Web site on the Internet should plan it carefully before launching it to ensure that it provides useful information for the intended users. Many physicians would like to use the Web to advertise their services, provide educational information and Internet links, and communicate with patients and others by electronic mail. A conservative site, without extensive graphics or animation, is likely to be reliable and easier to maintain than a very sophisticated Web site, and may prompt more users to return.
