Your best bet is to PM Samhale86,he'll probably be your best advisor.

Depends what it is for. Plenty of sites that allow you to do your own basic site, jalbum, spanglefish, but they are basic.

Thanks - I want to set up a web site to promote a b&b, and another for my wife's business as a garden adviser. I want pics and links etc...a couple if pages perhaps but it all seems to complicated to do it my-self....is it?

Any good?

I designed my own, but nail-z-gull built it.

I layered stuff in Photoshop, and sent him the images. He's lovely that way.

I hope this doesn't break forum rules on advertising, and I have no vested interest in this company but..

...I once set up a site using Mr. Site software. It's really user friendly for a novice, very easy to use and the packages come with web hosting and domain name issuing, email, picture and sound uploading and even e-commerce facilities. You can buy their stuff in PC World or download or buy from the Mr. Site website (just google it).

Whilst not a patch on getting a pro to do it for you - for £20 you'll get a decent web presence up and running.

Finally, as the BBC would say, other web site design software packages are available

try one.com
my website is with them. It's a very very basic package e-mail/pictures/liks etc but it does only cost £9 for the first year then approx £18 annualy thereafter

Other websites are available etc etc

Spanglefish should cover that

Just doing one myself funnily enough, using microsoft publisher.

Seems to look good enough for the job.

I used 123-reg.co.uk to register the domain name, which cost about £6 for 2 years.
