Web Site Building for Detailing?

I'm currently creating a website for my business and wanted to know what/who you guys used to create your sites? Some of them are very user friendly and marketable too. If you could share any programs you used, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks guys!

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

I currently use sitecube.com . However, in the past, I've used web.com and citymax.com in the past for this and other websites. Sitecube produces the coolest websites in my opinion, while web.com and citymax.com both produced very nice clean websites. All have templates that you can use to make your own website from, and all were easy enough for me to use, so I'm sure anyone else would be able to handle them as well. It all depends on what you want. There are cheaper hosting companies with templates, but these are the ones I liked best.

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

Tripod.com for the website challenged LOL. It's super simple easily customizable and dirt arse cheap. (for the pro package I pay like $8/month) Much nicer sites out there than mine but I don't have all day to learn programming and I'm not about to pay some chucklehead $200+ a month to do it for me.

Not without a crap load of ad on banners and stuff that really take away from your overall site. Free sites just aren't worth the hassel from everything I've personally seen.

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

err... try Lowesthosting.com.... you have to build your own site, but you may find that a one time fee to a "chucklehead" and then this place is less expensive then an all in one service..

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

since we're on the topic of web site hosting and building...I'm using iWeb to attempt to build a site for my detailing services. Does anyone know of any hosts that can host my iWeb-built site? If I host on .Mac, they have a really long URL which obviously is not effective for marketing purposes.

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

Hostgator is a good host. I host probably 5-6 sites with them, mainly forums. They should be fine for you, its around $7.50 to 10 a month, depending on the package and term you choose.

PM me if you want my referral link and coupon code to get $9.94 off the price.

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

There are a few good hosting services for you to choose, just be advised that a few dollars saved may mean the difference of [good] customer support or not. Check out their contact or support page to see how you can contact them and any documentation they may provide.

domainnameroundup.com
globedomain.com
godaddy.com
+1 hostgator.com
1&1.com


Good luck.

Re: Web Site Building for Detailing?

I use 1&1.com and like it. I'm not too computer smart, but I managed to pull together my site by myself. I recently upgraded my package, switched from Linux to MS Hosting and lost everything. Had to, still am, re-doing the site.
I have called customer service MANY, MANY times. The wait time was minimal and the support was awesome.

Just my experience.
