Anybody build websites?

[b2tf]

Surely we've got some website gurus on here, I want to set one up for my business. Only a very simple one at the moment but it would also need room to expand over time.

Email contact form, few photos and some info on it and that's about it. Would like matching email addresses (e.g. xxxx@(websiteaddress).com.au) to go with it too.

If anybody's able to help maybe drop me a PM.

Thanks

I can do your domain names and email, did that for myself recently, got heaps of them.

I'm also using getting Aussie business online for my website (http://www.gettingbusinessonline.com.au/). Gives me a years free hosting (and a domain if it is available), and I figured in a years time, I'll want to upgrade my site - hopefully! - so a year to use suits me as I have little cash for stuff like this.

Someone will say it is not good, and it does lack some functionality, but it is free.

First thing is to get a domain name through either
http://www.namecheap.com or http://www.godaddy.com
you can get a .com.au or just .com through them cos it is much cheap that way. I would suggest you get a .com domain cos it is much easier and cheaper for you in the long run.

Second get a hosting for yourself
http://www.bluehost.com or http://www.hostgator.com
this is the 2 which is very good.

Unless you want to get your own server then you go with http://www.liquidweb.com cos they are one the best in the market a lot of internet marketers used them.

You want to get a hosting that use cPanel only cos it is easier to managed and cost a lot less if you want to change anything and you can do it yourself without the need of a professional help.

If you were want to get your website built you can go to
http://www.vworker.com and post your job there and a lot of people that i have used they are from the USA and the price is much cheaper than getting it done here in Australia.

I used to post a lot of jobs there every mth but i have slow down and doing something else now but still doing it for my regulars clients.

Good luck hopefully that will help you to get your site started.

Get a .com.au web site. That way, your site will turn up in Google searches for Australian web sites.

I use www.unlimited-space.com for my domain and hosting that I have.

I build websites if you're interested!

Built a few. If you're wanting a template based "no code" solution then take a look at something like weebly. Free hosting and drag drop web tools to build your website. There are others like wix, but weebly does it for me. I helped someone setup a simple site the other day. We integrated paypal and built a basic online store in about 5 minutes. No technical skills needed at all.
