Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 , 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.

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 Locke, MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 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.. Annie (Name was always , but still go by Annie.

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.

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.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 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.. Annie (Name was always , but still go by Annie. Just that " official " venues tend to default to ) 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.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 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. www.Stewmonesmd.com 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.
