Hi all,
I'm attempting to make a website for my cakes. I'm just wondering what all of you guys used to make yours? I'm on www.webs.com right now & started doing one through there, but its just so confusing. THanks

I'm with yahoo, very happy with their service!

Yahoo here for me too. Very easy to use their sitebuilder, and easy to update, and inexpensive too.

Me 3!

I love web.com. Easy and very reasonable with fab customer service.

Yahoo for me too. Ultra user friendly.

I use freewebs......couldn't have been simpler to put together (though mine's not very fancy looking, but I like a streamlined look anyhow) I designed my own website using a template thing called "page breeze" all from scratch and then couldn't find a reasonable web host with no ads, so I wound up just keeping my "free" freewebs site and paying the 4 bucks a month to have advanced features as well as no pop up ads and they have great customer service!

My site doesn't have any pop-ups or ads on it and I use Yahoo. The hosting is $11.95 a month but the first 3 months are at $8.95. People always thing a professional webmaster designed my site...nope, just little ol' me. If you want to go the free route you probably don't get a dedicated domain name and your clients will have to put up with banner ads and other stuff so it can remain free. But you do what you can afford. IMHO, Yahoo is the best bang for your buck.

I made my own and bought the URL.

wow 11.95 a month..........I'm a cheapo, that seems expensive to me!

We use Sitebuilder by Yahoo! as well. The company that designed our logo secured the domain name for us and bills us yearly for that fee so that it will remain ours. The great part about Yahoo (although you thought it might have been expensive) is that they do an automatic deduction from your checking acocunt on a monthly basis. So, you don't have to incur heavy upfront costs.

I used vistaprint.com. Very easy to set up and they give you a free one-month trial.

I use Homestead.com It's easy, user friendly, inexpensive, they have great customer service and I've been very very happy with my site.

I just got my website up and running. It was very easy to do. I used godaddy and they were great! excellent customer service and my website was free with the purchased domain .
I did it myself and I have about no computer skills other than checking my email !

Good Luck

Yahoo Sitebuilder. Love it!! And when I call customer service they are always very helpful. A word of warning... You have to hold the phone away from your ear when the recording comes on that sings a very loud "YAHOO!!!!" like a cowboy and then the two beeps when you are transferred. Yeah, I've called them a few times!

This thread answers my questions as well, except:

Once you have made your site, do you have to "publish" it to the web for other's to find it? How does that work?

thanks

I use officelive.com, they are excellent and it comes with a free direct email too...all free free free

I use synthasite.com It is totally free and easy! I think my website turned out pretty good too....I just set it up a couple of weeks ago. You can check it out if you want http://happycampercakes.synthasite.com
