WANL (Wildlife Artists NetLink) has something new to offer!  If you are a wildlife artist with out a web presence why not consider becoming an "Associate" member.  We will build, host and maintain a website for you.  This "package" includes a full "Alpha-Graphics" membership and and ongoing frontpage listing.  For an example of what you could have, check out

ROBERT AAKRE'S site
 

The cost of this is very reasonable - Up to 12 pages for $180.00*/year - this includes hosting, 2 updates per month after setup and a one-year "Alpha-Graphics" membership.  That cost is what you would ordinarily pay just for hosting!

If you are interested contact Marc at webmaster@wildartlink.com
