Need Help with A Web Site

This is a craft oriented plea for help.I am in need of a web site to start selling my crafts.As Crafty as I am,I am very inept at these computers.I am willing to trade some of my crafts in exchange for any help which I can find.I need help in setting one up and the working knowledge of how to maintain the site.Any body that might be interested in helping me out contact me here,or better yet email me,my addresses are listed in my profile.Thanks.

 

I would suggest that you get a web site like homestead www.homestead.com.
I have the $19.99 a month account, but they have a free one. They have a really easy to use editing program. You don't have to know HTML, although I'm pretty good at it. I didn't use any HTML on my site accept one some of the banners on the links page. Then you can just copy and paste it. www.smilingfrogs.com is my site.

 

Or..... check out Etsy. It's very inexpensive to list ads and it's all done for you.

 

Thanx frog;

just checked out your site and signed your guest book.....I will check out homestead....and see if it is idiot proof enough for me to tackle.Thanx again

 

Can't wait to see your website when it is up, Fylethevoid...I luv your stuff...but you already know that!

 

if you are just beginning online i reccomend freewebs.com- free and easy to use

 

Be sure to let us know when you have something up and running. I'm hankering for some walnut earrings!

 

I appreciate all of references that you all provided me with....I have been checking them all out....it's just I am still intimidated by everything that is involved with the building of a site.It is a personal fence I have to climb,but you all have pointed me in a direction to get me up and running.Thanx again for all the suggestions.
And I will Tara.... I haven't forgotten about you really,even though it might seem that way....I haven't.

 

If you need a hand, I can help out a bit.
I'm pretty good with html and basic flash.

 

freewebs.com is good, too. That's where my craft site is.

 

nice site jessica....thanx for the info...I am checking out freewebs

 

yea see i didn't know how to make my old freewebs look as good as yours, jessica nice stuff

 

i went to homestead and signed up for the free trial, couldn't figure out how to work it and left. a few hours later i got a phone call from someone at homstead, now mind you i had not put my phone number (cell!) on there--and he wanted to sell me the business deal for 20/mo. i told him that was too much and got the cold shoulder of a sudden. but just so you all know that's their mode...

 

Get yahoo.

Its 12 bucks a month, and it has a nice drag and drop
design program that anyone can do.

Check out mine, www.artsyearthy.com, its registered
with yahoo, and costs me 12 bucks, thats nothing.

 

how do you make mailing list boxes and order forms directly on the page to a site? i use microsoft frontpage and cant figure it out.

 

Thank you!

Try Bravenet or Sparklit for mail forms.

 

Nice art on that site, Heron. Hope to see more. Keep us posted. #

 

thanks jessie....I have started out on my building of a site.Using bravenet,but it is still driving crazy trying to figure out all the options.I am totally inept at these damn machines.
Thanks again
