What's the difference between
a home page and a web site ?
A home page often
refers to the original default first page of a web site. A home page
or web page can also refer to a single page or small group of pages
that are listed under a larger domain. For Example: A home page may
have a URL address of www.buildersplanet.com\who\yourcompany
name.html, in this case your company web page is within another sites
pages. A web site generally refers to a complete site under the
main company domain name. Such as www.yourcompany name.com\default.htm.
The latter has its advantages in that your pages can be access more
easily on the world wide web. The former may be better in many cases
because it is less expensive and if you page is within a larger site
that has more visitors there is a more likely chance that you will be
found.

How
come my area of the country doesn't have a directory listings search
?
This is a pilot
of a growing project and we are using the Greater Bay Area as
our pilot region. As we refine and test the system we will be adding
regions . We intend to have regional versions of the site through out
the Country (eventually the world) so we can bring pertinent information
and projects data to local professionals throughout the country.
