Re: Help!! Web Sites - A little OT - XPost

[Guest guest]

I'm in the same boat. As a matter of fact, I started designing a site

on Weebly b/c I'd heard that it was one of the best FREE hosters. I

hated the set up - it wasn't as user friendly as purported to be.

So, I switched over to Microsoft Business Office Live (or something

like that) much easier to use, they give you TONS of help and a free

biz e-mail acct. My thinking here was that since I was just starting

out - I didn't want to have the cost of the website hanging over my

head until I got the biz going smoothly on a consistent basis. At

that point, I would know better what I could afford for hosting

services and I could " move " my site over to that host.

Pls share your findings as you go along as I'm sure I'm not the only

one dealing with the issue and the better we all talk - the better

we'll all come out in the end!

Is this a web site?? Do you have a shopping cart with this?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what this is.

Toni,

I too used Microsoft Office Live Small Business for my website. I am

very pleased with it, very user friendly. I like that you can easily

upload your own pictures to the site and even a computer illiterate can

figure out how to use it. You can get your " add to cart " and " view cart "

buttons from paypal after setting up a business account on paypal, which

costs you nothing.

If you would like to you can go to my site, (which is still a work in

progress) and check it out to see what you think of the looks.

The really nice thing they have lots of tutorials for a person to

refer to while still learning. I will always be learning!

Good luck with your web site.

Laurie

Laurie, thanks for responding to Toni - I'm off my foot due to surgery

this week and a bit " drugged up " on pain meds. I apologize if I caused

any confusion - I'm still working on my website on Office Live and have

not published it yet. Don't think I should until the drug cloud

lifts?!?!
