Re: Building a website
i'm a web/graphic design type chappy, happy to put together brochure sites for not very much at all! Plus database driven etc. PM me if you'd like to discuss! All goes towards the emigration fund!

Re: Building a website
Frontpage is simple to use but generates horrible code. Dreamweaver is great for non-coders and I have recently downloaded Nvu (http://nvudev.com) but not had a chance to use it.
For personal sites these WYSIWYG editors are acceptable but for business, I'd recommend getting a pro to do it. There's nothing worse for business than a cheap and nasty, unprofessional website.
Contrary to popular belief, there's a lot more to good web design than adding your own content to a free template, uploading it and submitting it to DMOZ.
As previously mentioned, an alternative to getting a local business to do your site, get on to one of the many freelancer sites such as Elance, where web designers bid for you work. Alternatively send me a PM.

Some weeks ago, I also promoted NVu ( Nview ) Ive had it lurking ona h/d for about 18 months
Its quite good, best bit being preview mode on php pages. Which is superior to DW and MSFP.
Still cant beat direct ftp / edit plus to do it on the fly.

Re: Building a website
There have been a few who have done it with little or no experience. Mrs Jackaroo for one. http://www.ukshoppingworldwide.com/ Either pm her or await further instruction from someone else.
Good luck with the business.

Yep when I put that site together I had no experience at all - built it using an online website builder.
Now that I'm a full time student though thankfully I've got a bit more of a clue lol - I'll PM OP

Be quick though because I'll be up and running as a 'charging' business soon!
