Free/Cheap Website? Help!?

09.September, 2009

I own a small restaurant and I am looking for a free/low cost "create your own website" service online. The site doesn’t have to "do" anything like take payments, etc…It would just be a place to post the menu, photos, upcoming specials, allow customers to email us etc…I am sort of ok with a computer..but designing web pages is WAY beyond my skill level. HELP!! Maybe there us someone out there who us a student looking to build their portfolio in exchange for a TOP NOTCH Reference? PLEASE HELP.
I am not looking for suggestions on hosting,,,I can find a web host. It’s the actual creation of the web page content that I need help with.
Mike..You are full of opinion and also full of yourself. Your answer however was a complete waste of time. All you did was offer GoDaddy..Are you kidding? READ THE QUESTION. I never said i didn’t know how or where to get a site HOSTED. I need help CREATING the content. You CAN read right? Also this is called ANSWERS…not OPINIONS..So keep yours locked in that tiny brain of yours. You are an isulting jackass. I hope that you enjoy your own company.
Oh yeah, one more thing Mike. You said "I doubt the desinger would get any references from free work"…Obviously you didn’t READ or COMPREHEND what I had written. I was offering myself as a reference for life to a student designer who needed to build a portfolio and a reference list. I guess the concept was lost on you because you were too busy making love in the mirror.

It sounds like you are looking for a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) HTML Editor. Front Page, Expressions, Dreamweaver are all capable of this.

Your other options are to purchase premade templates from a website like http://www.templatemonster.com and use those.

If you are absolutely desperate, please contact me and perhaps we could come up with some sort of arrangement.

    um, theres godaddy.com, but they charge.
    Theres freewebs.com, but if u use their website, then their domainn has to be in your URL, but you can pay $20 a year to have your own domain.
    and lastly… moonfruit.com

    If you are looking for a free website try going to Tripod.com. You can make your own site there. You would need to have your own photos or images to upload to it such as your logo image and stuff like that. Otherwise you can use some of their templates and clip arts that they have available. This website is pretty easy to use.

    Find a host that uses Joomla. Its a free content management system that you can log into and create pages just like you were typing a document in word. I set up a friend of mine on one you can check hers out to see what it looks like. You can also download a lot of free themes for it. There are a lot of other free CMS packages out there with varying difficulties of use. Just search around and you should find something that will work.

    You were looking for spam use the word cheap and what did you expect.

    The student portfolio idea would work only if the economy was good, now everyone needs to make a living so don’t expect freebies ask a friend they know you and if they want to help you its up to them. I doubt the designer would get any references from free work.

    Go to Godaddy or Yahoo webhosting pay $10 a month use their tools to build a website and hope that you will get at least 1 person a day to come in because marketing is the hardest part.

    Come on you own a restaurant, you have to know some business.
