Hay peps as the tittle suggests i'm trying to design a websight with little knowledge about what i'm doing. my girlfriend is starting a photography business up and needs a websight for now it only needs to be basic so i have tried to use a template however, all free templates that look OK seam to be linked in to a hosting package. she has already got a domain name. am i missing any tricks or tips? an example sight she liked would be

http://www.wix.com/website-template/view/html/769?originUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wix.com%2Fwebsite%2Ftemplates&bookName=create-master-a-test&galleryDocIndex=1

for now im just trying to get a header page up

Honestly I would recommend you pony up some cash and get someone to make you a basic website. It's not so much a manner of "tricks and tips".

My favorite "trick" is paying other people to do things more efficiently than me, and my best "tip" if you don't like that is to start reading internet guides.



Also recommending to not spell "websight" anywhere on your "websight"

Hi,

It is likely that all she has bought is a domain name, which costs about £8, every 2 years, if a .co.uk domain. A lot of ISP's will throw it in for free if you take out a hosting package, but she would either be paying a monthly fee or a 2 yearly fee to cover that.

If trying to save money, and just want a simple homepage, I would suggest trying something like the 1&1 website service. If you purchase a hosting package, you could look at using Wordpress or Joomla. Again for simple stuff you should be able to get a homepage set up quite quickly.

Everything ph34r said sounds like the best advice you could be given at this point.
