For those with interest in creating a site, but aren’t working with an organization, this portal is the right place for you.
Assistance
Professionals working independently can hire an intern/assistant or have a working partner, such as a spouse, family member, or colleague, work with them to create and publish their site. Professionals are responsible for negotiating and coordinating their assistance.
PAL has a list of Master Fellows who are highly experienced with the site and with assisting Professionals. For more information on hiring a Master Fellow, please click here.
