How to make a website for a small family company? -

My family need a website for the company, any good ideas? Are there websites that can do this or do you have to use programs like Adobe Dreamweaver?

If you need a real website (like www.yourwebsite.com) you need to buy hosting and a domain name.I recommend one of these http://www.webhostingtable.comFatcow has the best offer right now.Their standard price is $88/yearbut they have the 50% sale right now.Disk space: UnlimitedBandwidth: UnlimitedA Free domain nameUnlimited domains and subdomainsPrice: $44/yearThey re one of the oldest hosting companies, founded 1998, they re also one of the largest, currently hosting about 500,000 websites.Their hosting plan includes a web builder, so you can create your site just by drag and drop (without any programming), or you could install Wordpress (easy, one click install from their control panel), choose a theme that you like, and start adding content.

If you want to do it quickly and cheaply, Take a look at weebly.com or yola.com. They both use templates so you can just plug your content in and make it live. You also have the option of either using thier domain name or buying a domain name and using thier servers to host it.Alternatively, you could set up a wordprss blog and do something similar. Or another option is to design it with dreamweaver, buy a domain name and host it on a 3rd party hosting site.

You should try this site called webstarts: http://webstarts.com/?aff=TrentIt s really easy to use.- free web hosting- free website builder (the simplest way to make a website, looks professional too)- a WebStarts web address (which will be www.webstarts.com/yoursitename)The website builder is really user friendly. It basically like...click here to ad image/video/whatever, it appears on your site, then drag and drop, resize etc.If you want to see an example of a site using WebStarts, http://www.orangepants.net is a good one.You can always upgrade later on if you want more features, costs like $4/month. You get a domain name (www.yoursitename.com) and a lot more storage and other stuff, but there heaps you can do with the free account. Check it out.

You could use opensource software (free software) read the article below for more details:http://www.theproductdeveloper.com/free-articles/45-free-articles/170-the-easiest-and-quickest-way-to-build-a-professional-looking-website-webpage-without-needing-any-technical-or-coding-experience-Hope this helps

It depends what you need. One.com do ones where you just pick a template and then add the info you need. Costs about ��10 a year including your domain name.

Try sites.google.com , they provide you with the webspace and all the free tools to create a great website for your family buisness.... they also allow you to add forms etc using google docs...

Freewebs.com allows you to make a website completely freehttp://www.webs.com/good luck!
