Homesite 2.5 used by the developer making the madera web sit is a very fast developer. Speed of this system is the ability to understand the system and its options. Its a short cut system, plugs in the HTML as web site is developed. Homesite interlocks with COREL -Photo Paint and many other systems. It works as well as the COREL - web designer.
What we have now on madera web site was designed in the Homesite 2.5 environment. It does not say the whole site will be designed by using the Homesite 2.5. This may not even be the first page of the new internet site. This madera home page is a PR explanation only. (I got the Microsoft web designer program and its a bag of worms.)
Web design programs are a matter of opinion, ////To say it will take forever is another hype.///// Slow is an opinion./// What we got is a Lumber company with no experience in web design not knowing what they want.
Madera should have checked a few books out on internet web design for dummies. Know what you want before to go to the web designer. I have no idea if Madera did this. About a year ago, Madera did not use the internet.
Web sites are developed in pages with links from the Home page to each of the pages developed. You have also links between the pages. A page can be put on line developed by corel, Homewsite 2.5 or Microsoft. It makes no difference. =============
Here is what we have now-- note first line......

An exciting new business direction that started by selling
parcels of the company owned land in the Amazon through Madera's fully-owned subsidiary
Madera International Environmental, Inc., has now led the company to take on strategic
partnerships with the native communities that are found in the region of western Brazil
where the company's primary industrial operations are located.

<BR>
Madera International is a publicly traded wood products company with headquarters in Coral
Gables, Florida, that has grown into a stewardship role, a first among tropical timber producers
and exporters, in helping to protect its immediate working environment, the Amazon Rainforest.
<P>
The company expanded into environmental protection efforts in 1996 thanks to the direction of
several environmental consulting firms hired to find more cost effective alternatives to
official certification by established certification firms.
<P>
This exciting new business direction that started by selling parcels of the company owned land
in the Amazon through Madera's fully-owned subsidiary Madera International Environmental, Inc.,
has now led the company to take on strategic partnerships with the native communities that are
found in the region of western Brazil where the company's primary industrial operations are
located. Besides providing employment to hundreds of Indians from the communities scattered
around the company's properties, Madera, through the sale of various wares, crafts, and herbal
supplements, will provide the members of the four tribes in the region, that number some
28,000, with better living conditions and teachers to better their education levels.

<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="2">
<BR>
The mission of our expanded marketing department that will now sell health care products and
novelty items through the use of new sales tools on the world.wide.web, is simply to give back
to the people that inhabit the rainforest region that surrounds the companys timber harvesting
operations in the Upper-Amazon Region of Western Brazil. The funds generated from profits in the
sale of all items listed under our new product categories will be split equally with the native
communities of the region.
<P>
These native communities that are today somewhat scattered are home to some of the last
survivors of certain ancient and very cultural Indian tribes that once numbered hundreds of
thousands in this remote region of the Western Amazon basin. These include some of the last
descendants of the Ticuna, Huitoto, Yagua and Jivaro Tribes and smaller or mixed factions
thereof. The company's new management feels that it is time to return some of the revenue to
these people and help them to better educate themselves and improve their general living
conditions.</FONT></TD>
