We use WebSite Tonight through GoDaddy.

It includes the hosting; they have different packages, depending on how many

pages you want. It is a little slow when working on updating the site, but I

haven’t had too much trouble with it at all. Happy customer for 3 years

(was doing it on my own in FrontPage before), and just renewed for 3 more

years. I think it was $365 for 3 years, including the hosting. I can update

it whenever I want, and it seems to not have any lag time when I update it. I

have no idea what you mean by “cascading style sheets” so I’m

not sure if it will work for you, but I really like it. Web address is below my

sig.

DIY Websites - show me your example

My website is in need of a makeover -- www.LockeFamilyMedicine.com

I used FrontPage (microsoft) years ago to design the first website for

a past medical group.

It worked well for what it was - had some templates and (I guess) CSS - at

least all the webpages looked the same.

But when I converted over to Dreamweaver, lots of the imported pages didn't

work as well and I can't seem to update as easily.

After that medical group dissolved and FrontPage quit being made -

I bought Dreamweaver to import the old site and update it.

That worked for awhile, but it is sorely in need of a revamp.

Plus, I have an aesthetic component that I want to give my Aesthetic RN

the capability to modify those pages online -- having the original files at

home doesn't allow that modification by her - at least not easily.

I need to use CSS/cascading style sheets, but am too clueless to design

my own - and lazy to figure it out in Dreamweaver.

It appears there are several online Website Builders now - some look

like they should work well.

I would use some of the professional companies, but I'm cheap.

They charge >$1,000 to set up a website and many charge $50-$100 to

" maintain/host " the site - plus you have to go through them to update

the site - so not convenient for on-the-fly changes.

So, for those maintaining your own sites - and happy with the product,

could you...

1. Reply with your web address -- lets see

what you got!

2. Reply with the company and/or program you

are using.

From what I've seen...

Here is an online review of site builders - http://www.websitebuildermagazine.com/reviews?s_kwcid=kw -

not sure if they are accurate, but gives an idea of options.

Yahoo has a simple DIY program to design your own - http://webhosting.yahoo.com/ps/sb/index.php -

it works fine, but the templates are somewhat blah.

(when did you go from Annie Skaggs to Skaggs?) - didn't

you have an awesome horse themed website at www.fayettefamilymed.com ? I

liked that one - unless I am confusing that site with someone else.

Homestead

- https://www.homestead.com/ -

through Intuit - has a pretty good online website building program - with lots

and lots of templates.

I'm considering using them. Quirky thing is they make you put in a

credit card to check out the program - then have to cancel it a month later -

PITA.

I think Square Space -- http://www.squarespace.com/ --

is supposed to have some online options -- no credit card required.

VistaPrint offers this -- http://www.vistaprint.com/websites.aspx --

interesting angle from them is -- since they are a printing service, they can

make your website and promotional materials (business cards, brochures) appear

alike.

What is everyone else happy with?

thanks

Hi,

I use 1and1 web hosting. It is easy to use and relatively inexpensive...19.95 a

month? Good customer support.

I would use some of the professional companies, but I'm cheap.

They charge >$1,000 to set up a website and many charge $50-$100 to

" maintain/host " the site - plus you have to go through them to update the

site - so not convenient for on-the-fly changes.

So, for those maintaining your own sites - and happy with the product, could

you...

2. Reply with the company and/or program you are using.

From what I've seen...

Here is an online review of site builders -

http://www.websitebuildermagazine.com/reviews?s_kwcid=kw - not sure if they

are accurate, but gives an idea of options.

Yahoo has a simple DIY program to design your own -

http://webhosting.yahoo.com/ps/sb/index.php - it works fine, but the

templates are somewhat blah.

(when did you go from Annie Skaggs to Skaggs?) - didn't you

have an awesome horse themed website at www.fayettefamilymed.com ? I liked

that one - unless I am confusing that site with someone else.

Homestead - https://www.homestead.com/ - through Intuit - has a pretty good

online website building program - with lots and lots of templates.

I'm considering using them. Quirky thing is they make you put in a credit

card to check out the program - then have to cancel it a month later - PITA

Does anybody use wordpress themes?they are beuatiful, but I guess involves some work, there are free and paid ones.Microsoft office live doesnt support itIf I wear to change I would go to a web hosting service that also supports worpress...

 

I'm using googleapps - free, fairly easy to set up - and functional but design is limited. For now I'm satisfied but may need more functionality if move to a subscription website.

DIY Websites - show me your example

My website is in need of a makeover --

www.LockeFamilyMedicine.com<http://www.lockefamilymedicine.com/>

I used FrontPage (microsoft) years ago to design the first website for a

past medical group.

It worked well for what it was - had some templates and (I guess) CSS - at

least all the webpages looked the same.

But when I converted over to Dreamweaver, lots of the imported pages didn't

work as well and I can't seem to update as easily.

After that medical group dissolved and FrontPage quit being made - I bought

Dreamweaver to import the old site and update it.

That worked for awhile, but it is sorely in need of a revamp.

Plus, I have an aesthetic component that I want to give my Aesthetic RN the

capability to modify those pages online -- having the original files at home

doesn't allow that modification by her - at least not easily.

I need to use CSS/cascading style sheets, but am too clueless to design my

own - and lazy to figure it out in Dreamweaver.

Hi ,

Yes, I had the horse themed site, but 2 years out from closing my practice, I decided it wasn't worth the upkeep and have stopped paying for server space. If you are interested in talking to the guy who built the site for me, I can get you his contact info.  His name is Knickerbocker, and he was then a theology student in Missouri.  Not sure if he has graduated..

Homestead - https://www.homestead.com/ - through Intuit - has a pretty good online website building program - with lots and lots of templates.

I'm considering using them. Quirky thing is they make you put in a credit card to check out the program - then have to cancel it a month later - PITA.

 

I think Square Space -- http://www.squarespace.com/ -- is supposed to have some online options -- no credit card required.

 

VistaPrint offers this -- http://www.vistaprint.com/websites.aspx -- interesting angle from them is -- since they are a printing service, they can make your website and promotional materials (business cards, brochures) appear alike.

 

What is everyone else happy with?

 

thanks

Hi ,

Yes, I had the horse themed site, but 2 years out from closing my practice, I decided it wasn't worth the upkeep and have stopped paying for server space. If you are interested in talking to the guy who built the site for me, I can get you his contact info.  His name is Knickerbocker, and he was then a theology student in Missouri.  Not sure if he has graduated..

My website is in need of a makeover -- www.LockeFamilyMedicine.com

 

I used FrontPage (microsoft) years ago to design the first website for a past medical group.It worked well for what it was - had some templates and (I guess) CSS - at least all the webpages looked the same.But when I converted over to Dreamweaver, lots of the imported pages didn't work as well and I can't seem to update as easily.

 

After that medical group dissolved and FrontPage quit being made - I bought Dreamweaver to import the old site and update it.

That worked for awhile, but it is sorely in need of a revamp.

Plus, I have an aesthetic component that I want to give my Aesthetic RN the capability to modify those pages online -- having the original files at home doesn't allow that modification by her - at least not easily.

 

I need to use CSS/cascading style sheets, but am too clueless to design my own - and lazy to figure it out in Dreamweaver.

 

It appears there are several online Website Builders now - some look like they should work well.

 

I would use some of the professional companies, but I'm cheap.

They charge >$1,000 to set up a website and many charge $50-$100 to " maintain/host " the site - plus you have to go through them to update the site - so not convenient for on-the-fly changes.

 

So, for those maintaining your own sites - and happy with the product, could you...

I'm using googleapps - free, fairly easy to set up - and functional but design

is limited. For now I'm satisfied but may need more functionality if move to a

subscription website.
