Internet Newsletter for Lawyers
May/June 2003, by Delia Venables

Resources for Web Development

"Internet Marketing", edited by Nicola Webb and published by the Law Society, £34.95, is an excellent book for firms considering websites, intranets and extranets, whether they are new to the field, or experienced - different readers will concentrate on different sections of the book and skip the parts they already know, or have no need to know. As well as discussing website development in the context of a firm’s strategy and marketing plan, the book covers market research, intranets, extranets, client relationship management, electronic commerce, getting into the search engines and managing risks.
