Pre-Made Web Templates (Homestead, Etc)
Business By CookieChef Updated 12 Jul 2007 , 4:22pm by Eggshells
Did anyone use a pre-made web template/host similar to Homestead to build their website? If yes, what was your experience with it? I am on a very limited budget and although I'd like to have a web-presence by year's end, I want to be sure that the site I choose offers me everything I'll need. What are the drawbacks or advantages to use this type of web-builder? Would anyone care to share sites that they've constructed themselves? What features should I look for? What should I be wary of? Are there additional 'hidden' charges?
I use is Homestead. I tried a few other trial period ad they were too complicated for me. Have a look at my site and see what you think. Teir help desk is great and it $4.95 US per month. Trust me if I can do this anyone can. www.cupcakebakeshoppe.com
I used godaddy and couldn't ever figure it out. No information they gave me over the phone was helpful to me either. Not that they are a bad company, I just have little computer knowledge....
Now, I use homestead. SO easy to use!! Very competent customer service. Just my experience....
I use www.1and1.com and I am just thrilled w/ them and their customer service. Very helpfull and it's pretty easy to use too. I like that while I do not have to know any HTML at all, it still gives me a level of customization that other sites didn't. For instance the "theme" of the site. I was able to choose a pre made design but load my own header that I made in photoshop. My site isn't really public ready yet (I need to get my pictures edited and added) but it's www.papercakes.net if you want to check it ou.
I also LOVE the form builder they have. I think it makes things look more professional and they were really easy to create.
have you tried
www.freewebs.com?
it's totally free, has templates and it's web site building for dummies!
I love it.
