trade handspun yarn for website design?

Jan 16, 2006 11:58

I would like to have a website for selling my handspun yarn. I have been trying to teach myself html, but . . . I know I can do it, I just don't have the time or attention for it right now. I am hoping to find someone who would like to swap website design for my handspun yarn ( Read more... )

take a look at cute site builder. It is the program that I use and easy peasy. Go daddy has the best hosting I have found....take a look at them and you might find it better to have control yourself.

Looks interesting. Can I use them if I already own a domain? I have the impression they are about selling domains.

I'm VERY happy with my current host (whom I've been with for about four years now)--westhost.com. (Previously I had been with a really crappy host.) And they offer Miva Merchant, which I use and is incredibly user-friendly.

I know my website is pretty lame, but it gets the job done. I learned EVERYTHING from "HTML for Dummies". You probably want something a little cooler, though.

In terms of hosts, I can't reccomend Dreamhost enough. They have merchant software so that you can set up the shop easily, you have a ton of storage space (something like 20gb, and it grows weekly), a ton of bandwidth (a freaking TERABYTE, also grows weekly), and they are cheap. I use them for both of my sites, and the bookshop that I just did a site for uses them as well, and so far as I know, everyone loves them. Their tech support is great, and if you want it, you can get a free domain when you sign up -- or just know that after this year you won't have to pay registration on your domain when it comes up for renewal. Fantastic, fantastic host. Also, they let you earn money towards your hosting if other people sign up under you -- I posted a link in one of my LJs, and haven't actually had to pay a penny towards hosting since I first got the site, because every time someone signs up via the link I get something like $96 ( ... )
