What Naked Web Development is About

A website is a tool for getting your message out to a wider community of interest. For a business, that is to attract new customers. For a charity, new donors. For a club, new members. A website must convey the message of the organisation that commissions it, not the prowess of the designer.

For too long web development has been shrouded in mystery. The cognoscenti have kept the "great unwashed" from knowing the simplicity of website development.

Website owners want to be able to develop and maintain their own websites without hassle. Being constrained by having to learn some new software (some developers make it seem like you have to be inducted into some secret society) or always have a web developer involved for simple changes is not good.

The Naked Web Developer is about breaking down the mystique and enabling the client to update their own website simply.


After all, the objective is to get your message across, not to showcase some impressive, but ultimately useless, technology.
