The gash Wordpress sites are the ones you notice. He's probably been on hundreds of them and never even noticed as they've been customised nicely... | |

Although clearly you know what you're talking about with having to advertise your great design skills in a post on a corsa forum :facepalm: Bart - Within an hour Bubble could be knocking together a website. Dreamweaver in design-mode is pretty much the same as MS Word, so it's very easy. Obviously it can get complicated very easily if you want it to. As i said though, it's probably best to look around for templates and rip one apart. | |

quote: Is this the guy that restores furniture or something, or am I thinking of someone else? :lol: If funds are tight (if this is the guy I am thinking of), I would recommend doing this: > buy a .co.uk domain from domainmonster.com - £7.03 > set up Google Apps for Domains (Standard Edition) for email, calendar and more - £FREE > set up a hosted WordPress site and link your domain name to it - £FREE You can choose any theme with WordPress for the site (there are loads to choose from and they are all free as well), and you can set up any number of pages and also have a blog/news page too. I think there are other free hosted website services like Moonfruit that can be used instead of WordPress. Hope this helps. :) | |

Not sure how dreamweaver is complicated?! :lol: If you can use word, you can use Dreamweaver, it really is piss easy to use (i've taught teachers and primary school kids to use it so i think you'll be alright) :thumbs: | |

If you want free (apart from buying the domain) try the free ones offered by Google and Microsoft Business Live. | |

Grab hosting/domain from anywhere (i'd recommend splitting up the domain and hosting to two seperate providers - also Tsohost.co.uk are really good for hosting) and then use somethis like Dreamweaver which is pretty easy to get used to. | |
