Final Exam

1. I believe that small businesses that are just starting out have a huge advantage to using free software programs because they might not have enough money to pay for all the expensive computer programs. A few downfalls to free programs is that their is most likely no customer support incase you need something.

2. I believe small businesses can put their business on google and as normal people use the search engine, the company will most likely show up. So if they show up, they'll most likely get a sale and make money off of the internet sales as well as the normal sales.

3. To start off a website on aprogram such as dreamweaver you first have to think of what kind of website your company is going to be such as a business or a comedic website or even a site for news.
