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.
