Hi guys, I noticed many here have their own website. Even the "weekend warriors" who work full time during the week and like to detail on the weekends. I have always been interested in making my own website, but I honestly don't know where to begin. Can anybody talk about where/how to make one? What kind of costs are involved in setting up your site and how much does it cost to keep it running? I am talking about a very simple site that would have an intro page and a few tabs at the top, for example a tab for a gallery page, a tab for contact info, and a tab for pricing. Nothing fancy. Any help is appreciated guys.
I made my own website, it's not very good (it gets the job done) but look at youtube. You won't spend as much money as you think.

Let me know if ya need hosting, still got the server running you will need to buy your own domain name tho.
I made mine on ipage was pretty cheap and easy to make. I knew nothing about building a website came out pretty good. I used a drag and drop build was pretty easy todo. If need any help pm me.
Honestly, Pay to have a simple one done. If its only a few pages it wont be that much. I made 3 websites myself and was really not happy that they always looked "DIY" finally paid to have it done. I get compliments all the time about my website and not having one in this day in age is justabout unheard of. Here is my website Home Theater Springfield, PA and Florence Township, NJ. Installation Of Home Theater Systems in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. 39websites made mine, The owner's name is Mac and he does a phenomenal job. He's in my industry but does alot of work for other industries. He'll step you through his process and then ask you what you want to do, He will then quote you and if your OK with that he'll have you pick out a theme and get going. the whole process can get done pretty quick! 39Websites - Home
