Jpan85 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hey I am sure there are a couple people here with experience with this around here. I recently started a new company and looking to build a website. I have the domain name and hosting part covered already. Looking for a good website or software to build the site. Looking for something user friendly not the biggest tech guy so one that would use some sort of template. Any suggestions would help thanks.

Atomic Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I like Wordpress, especially if you just want to display info and not conduct business or sell product directly through your site. It is dead-easy to set up and there are literally millions of templates to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've used WIX and its pretty user friendly and if you have any talent at all, it can look really good. They have tools available for all sorts of things too (like online shops etc). It also displays a preview in both desk top and mobile so you can see what your site will look like on both (and you can edit in both modes too). My buddy that used to build our websites and graphics from scratch actually recommended it to me. He began using it because it saved him a lot of time rather than build from scratch. He's talented though. Im not and I still managed to make a fairly presentable website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use them or someone else. They push using them (it looks easier) but it can be set up to be hosted by a third party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone that used them and she has no knowledge or experience whatsoever and the site actually looks pretty professional. Wix could be a good option.

Brandon Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 As a programmer my advice is don't get conned into spending 1000's of dollars from local companies. A basic site should be no more then $500. Hey maybe ask Colin Unger to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
