Hi, its Ryan here, Yes i do build websites but ifits information youre after then we could be here for a long time lol,if youre okay with doing youre own then i suggest you use a freeweb-host that also has its own web page builder, likewww.geocities.com(theyare probably the best for beginners, with tutorials and a very easy touse pagebuilder)etc, just do a google search for free webhosting and you will get back over 5million results, just browsethrough a couple to find the one youre after, some are better thanothers, i personally usewww.Fateback.com for my freehosting, they have excllent service, more than enough space to host asite, and best of all, they are free.

One draw back with most free hosters however is that you end up with asubdomain, i.e. instead ofwww.yourename.com you end up withwww.theirname.com/yournameor something like that. but these days domain names are very cheap,a.co.uk domain can be bought for £1.99

However if you want i could do all the leg work for you, i could buildyour site and host it on a free host with just a small fee for mytime. all i would need is content for the site to get itgoing and then iwould send over all the detailstoyou so that you could administer it your self.

Let meknow what you think

Carrots,

As Ryan said, Geocities is an excellent place to start. I payfor my Geocities site, however my daughter designed her own free siteon Geocities and it looks greathttp://www.geocities.com/stephnock/index.html

Geocities is very easy to use and I've found the service veryreliable. You can only remote host photos from their paidsites, there is a band width limit on the free site and the free sitealso has their ad. Here's a free site I designed for ourHolland Lop clubhttp://www.geocities.com/ohlrf/

The free sites are very flexible and have plenty of space for you toput up many pages, photos, graphics and lots of fun extras includingmusic. There's also a great "help" forum if youhave any problems. I'd also be glad to help with anyquestions you have. Geocities has the option of "wizards" forbeginners or "pagebuilders" (I personally hate "page wizards".)

This is my paid geocities site that I designedhttp://www.geocities.com/pamnock/index.html

you can also usehttp://www.angelfire.com, it's likeGeocities only without the annoying ads popping up all the time I'vebuilt about 8 different sites with angelfire. Either way, the only wayyou can get ahttp://www.yourname.com is to payfor it. I myself, am going through my boyfriends webhosting companyhttp://www.infinitie.ca cuz thecheapest one is like $1 I think but I'm getting the $20 one because Iwant more stuff haha anyway, yeah, website are easy if you usethings like Angelfire because you don't need to know HTML (hyper textmarkup language) which is like [size=][color=] and all the other thingslike that



Hope you got enough info now to start on your way! Good luck!!

Geocities isgreat for a first time user. I started out with that a year ago becauseit had an easy webpage builder and I knew nothing aboutwebsites! I have now graduated ontoFreewebsas I taught myselfHTML (the code that webpages use to make the web pages). I'm not quitesure if Freewebs has an easy webpage builder or not, I've never usedit. Also, if you have a program called Microsoft Frontpage onyour computer, you can make your website on that, copy and paste theHTML to your site and have it exactly as you want it. I might haveconfused you there, so I suggest Geocities easy webpage builder!
