"Without a doubt, Visual WebTools is the simplest and most efficient means of quickly creating an online business. Within 12 hours of having created the layout of my site and acquiring all the necessary images, I was online and accessible to the world! My success is solely attributable to Visual WebTools.
Several months ago,my father asked if I could create an online store to extend his business to the Web. I agreed.
Up to that point, I had created a couple of simple text Web pages, and as a hobby, I had played around with Adobe PhotoShop. Never, though, had I even touched a database, let alone written a script. I began asking anyone knowledgeable in such things for help. What I ended up with was a pile of books on obscure programming languages, whose forwards alone required hours of concentrated reading - after a month, I finally created a script that could determine the circumference of a circle. I realized that at this rate, my father's business might light the screen of a computer in two years, if I was lucky.
Arriving at such an unacceptable conclusion, and with time running out, I went exploring to find a possible solution. What I found was less than ideal. Under the design of my initial software discoveries, I would still have to create a sophisticated database, and acquire a merchant account. Like I said before, I lacked the requisite skills and knowledge for either of these functions, and I didn't have the time to learn. But when I found Pacific WebWorks, everything changed.
After a single introduction to the software, I knew that everything was going to come together quickly. Visual WebTools offered the seamless integration through all the roadblocks I had previously encountered to construct and maintain an online business: an HTML editor, an inventory database program, software that enables ordering products safely over the Web, and, finally, a merchant account. Even more commendable, all of these functions are accessible through a single interface that is as easy to use as Microsoft Word, In a single afternoon, my despair had become hope. As I said previously, after determining the site's layout and acquiring all my images, my father's business hit the Web within a few short hours!
I am grateful to all of those invisible faces that made my success possible. Visual WebTools is a remarkable program that is easy to use, very powerful, and, above all, accessible to the average computer user.
