Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hello all, Just some advice in building a Website for free (if possible)...my IT skills are distinctly average so something relatively simple to use would be ideal. I am looking at WordPress and wondered if anyone would recommend that or perhaps something else? Thanks in advance. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Oh that looks neat... I might be enlisting the help of an IT genius friend of mine so they'll help make up for my average skills....HOPEFULLY ;-) Thanks Tegis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2015 I was about to suggest SquareSpace. Not used it myself, but it supposed to be good for the average user. Not free, but very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget to enter the offer code "Ramble" for 10% off. NB: I have no idea if this actually works but I've heard that damn advert so many times it has to be worth a go.

choffer Posted January 19, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've always used Weebly and it's been fine (for my admittedly limited needs). I've built a few in Dreamweaver in the dim and distant past but I have neither the time or the patience these days so just use the online site builders. Weebly is free, unless you don't want @weebly.com in the URL. Their templates are limited/limiting at times but you can find just about anything you'd need. It only starts to cost if you want them to host photo or video libraries or you use some of the more functionally-rich modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I could possibly offer you some free space for 6 months, if you wanted to build a Wordpress site... but I can't offer more than that (and yes, I know you said free!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
