In terms of designing a site, you could theoretically use Word or PowerPoint to take content and publish it as web pages, but neither of those programs is optimized for that purpose. Publish would be a little easier to use with it's layout capability, but again, not optimized. Microsoft Expression Studio is their platform for web development. It is designed to compete against Adobe CS Suite. Now, in terms of do you get a hosting environment with Office 365, the answer is "kinda, sorta". Office 365 E1 and up includes SharePoint Online, and you can create a website there. However, it is limited to what SharePoint can do (which would take me a book to answer that question). So yes, you can build a website, but not a flexible "I'm going to do anything I can imagine" site. Here is a link for more info: http://tinyurl.com/sharepoint-website-info Hope this helps! Bruce,

The only way you can sign up is to find a Microsoft Partner like Mavidea to help you. The MS Partner needs to submit a form and a copy of your 501c3 paperwork to Microsoft for approval on a case-by-case basis. If you want me to submit your paperwork to see if you are approved, just let me know. Jamie Mathy Graham,

If English was the only language you needed, you could sign up easily and just log in to the English site from Thailand. However, if you need Thai or other languages, that is where things get tricky.

We get donated MS software through Techsoup.org. However, they cannot offer Office 365 at this time. We would like to move from Pop3/IMAP to hosted Exchange email as well as Cloud based app sharing, etc. Our headquarters is in the USA, but we do work in Thailand. Currently, Thailand is not one of the 40 countries listed for Office 365. Do you know if that means we cannot get service at all or can we get service with limitations? Thank you.
