Does Uantir have a web page and any plans to create one? The reason for asking is that many micronations have them and often find out that there are more visitors that check out the micronation and what it is about. Besides, I enjoy going through each link in a forum to see what a micronation has to offer, but the average "joe" is lazy and doesn't want the hassle.

There is a partly constructed web page. April is a very busy month, I spend much of it away living on one of the ships I work on. I will actually be leaving after I post this message and will not return until the 25th of April. That combined with my mediocre, though improving, web design skills has made the web site slow in production.
I have been criticized for putting my web page as a lower priority before, not saying you're criticizing. I put the priority low because all information pertinent to Uantir is here in the forums, and the most important part of Uantir, the people that make this country amazing, are seen here by everyone who visits Uantir. A web site is just me.

Your Royal Majesty,
I thank you for not misunderstanding my question, as I was not criticizing you at all. There are a great many micronations that do not have a web page, as one of my Atteran forefathers, Ras Robert Stuart, once said, "A web page, or even a forum, does not make a great micronation...it's people do!"
I was just wondering, as I do know that there are several web hosting packages that do offer really good services, for a fee of course. The one that hosts the USE web page, Startlogic.com, has been a major boon for us, and offers some pretty inexpensive deals. Nowadays, these packages even offer some really good web page construction tools that make a really professional looking site, even if you have little to no experience! That is should you decide to ever put one up, which really isn't even a major issue, as I agree as you do, your micronation's forum is really informative.
But, on the converse, as I mentioned before, web pages do bring in more attention to your micronation, and I for one, feel that more people should know of the calibre of people you have here along with a pleasantly comfortable atmosphere!

What flattering sentiments!
I was using a free web site service in my web page construction. They did offer free hosting, with their web page's name in the url of course, and an extremely user friendly web site construction application. But it looked templated, which irritated me. Uantir is new, it's individual, even with the alteration of colors and the introduction of the crest etc. etc. it still had the same design of any number of thousands of other users of that free website provider. I'm not saying that the irritation was rational, or that my goals are completely achievable without being a proficient web designer, but it is another reason why the website is slow in coming. Perhaps May, which is looking to be a more lax month work wise, a website will develop.
