First steps -
I don't know if it is very productive for a company to go through a long consultation period when announcing redundancies?
My current employer made the initial announcement, way back in November 2005, that it was to close its Edinburgh design facilities with the loss of 260 jobs.
It has still not completed the issue of official redundancy notices to all employees.
As the days pass, my interpretation of booking "reasonable time" for job searching and the like, is increasing exponentially.
Last week I finally got round to registering the domain name for my proposed business venture and this weekend I have drafted the bones of the website.
My previous website building experiences have been with using good old HTML to produce a personal hobby site.
All very simple stuff (does not even use frames).
For the business site I am dragging myself into the 21st century and designing the site with CSS using RapidWeaver.
I am currently using standard templates (which do look rather good) but no doubt I will try and customise the templates at some point.
