2.
           a) What would you recommend to make the process more efficient?

           I would recommend that the sign-up process should not include the                      confirmation email to activate the account. That way there is immediate access to the web hosting site and this is one less to begin creating the site. 

           b) Identify all the marketing opportunities you encountered during the            process.

           I was asked about many upgrades to paid services which include more            space, quicker transfer, etc.  There were many banners surround each page I was directed to during the signing up process.

           A) What would you recommend to make the process more efficient?

           I think there should have been a ‘tips’ or ‘quick guide’ before starting to            create the page.  There were many small problems that I encountered during the start up such as linking, pictures, and general viewing.  These could have been streamlined if there were simple examples. 

           B) Identify all the marketing opportunities you encountered during the            process.

           Again, there were many banners I encountered during the uploading            process.
