Hi all,
I see that some of you have web sites to advertise your work. I am totally ignorant about how to go about it. What do I need to do first? Is it expensive? Do you get many hits/business?
Any info is much appreciated.
Thanks, Allyson

Many start out with free web hosting service, like Geocities, FreeWeb, BraveNet, etc. first. As their business booms, they upgraded to the next level and usually the cost is about between $4 to $8 a month, depending on which webhosting you use.

The nice thing about free webhosting service is they will assist you with web design. You don't need to know html or programming at all. It's easy to use. Use your favorite search engine and type "free webhosting" to see which one is best for your need.

I used freewebs.com and it was so easy to use. I had a lot more options than I thought I would have when I first designed my website.

Good luck.

Thanks!! I found it on another site but it was to big so I had to modify it a little.
