I found this site that will build you a 5 page website for $99, you can also use their free website tools if you wish. additional pages are $25. at least it would be a start for those of us who haven't got a clue in building one.

I have a free one through freewebs.com, but it's full already 
It's just for fun, though. I don't have a business.
My husband builds websites on the side of his full time job. I have to say that he is really good and i am no just saying that cause he is my husband. It is really hard to find a good quality designer for a reasonable price. He builds some major sites for rap artists in californias bay area. I can't wait to be ready to have my own site to see what can be done by him with cakes instead of music.
Beachcakes...what are the drawbacks with freewebs.com? Are there ads streaming or anything like that? Curious because I am looking at starting a webpage. Thanks

I think freewebs is a great place to start. When you begin, it is annoying to add one photo at a time, so I signed up for the $2.00 multi-uploader feature. I uploaded my pics, then cancelled that service. I now pay $2.00 per month to have more than 20 photos stored there. So it's nearly free, and they have some nice add-ons that are free. And about a zillion templates to get you started.
Good Luck!
I used yahoo sitebuilder. My website isn't that great....but I did it myself. Had I dedicated an actual block of time I could have had it done in a day...but I couldn't figure out what to say ect so it took a long time. I pay $8 per month.
As a graphic designer who is serious about design (VERY serious), i don't reccommend cheap website builders. These are usually templates that have been overused by so many people, and rarely look professional. Sorry about being so blunt, but the truth is, if you really want to bring in clients, hire a web designerit's well worth it. Great cakes look even better when surrounded by great photography and typography, not to mention, a thought-out navigational system can benifit your site's usuability.
I used Namo Web Editor to build my site and I pay $24 a year for hosting at www.hostfor2bucks.com this is the best deal that I have found. Namo Web Editor is like word and is very easy to learn.
webeasy cost me $50. i built the site myself and i pay $10 each month to keep it online. not the best site but it's not too bad for my first attempt.
I use Homestead.com. I love it because it comes with a program which is very easy to use and gives you lots of options, like a scrolling photo bar, bouncing text, etc. I actually didn't use any of that but they have hundreds of pretty nice templates to choose from. I created my own background and have over 60 pics uploaded, with links to larger pics. It started out costing me $10 a month for hosting and use of the program, and you can add things as you need it, like 50MB of memory for $2 a month, or more pages etc. Check out my website to see what you think!

I totally agree! Freewebs is easy and CAN look professional if you work at it and don't overdo...just keep it clean and simple. There is an ad banner bar at the top, however, it's not one that flashes and pops up etc. To make it seem more professional, I bought my domain name at yahoo.com and have it forwarded to my freewebs page...saves typing in the xxx.freewebs.com extention. Good luck.
Sorry, I didnt get a response on this til now? I don't notice any popups on mine, but it does have a banner ad across the top. I didn't get very many pictures loaded before it was full - maybe 35 or 40?
