I'm relatively computer/internet savvy, however have absolutely no experience of setting up a website and wondered if anyone could offer advice?


Basically I want to set myself up a website to sell products online. It's just a tiny little "hobby" business, so I don't really have cash to splash on anything fancy (or official help!). My friend Google tells me there are a number of free/cheap website hosting options, some which provide a template which you can use as a starting point (which to me seems ideal) - anyone got any specific recommendations?


Any advice gratefully received.

Get your head round the payment gateway/cart service/merchant account as well. I have just set up my first website and those bits ended up costing more than the website. It does not take long to get your head round building and running your own if you work hard, I was worried about always having to pay someone to do updates but it is pretty easy.


Wordpress seems awesome if you want free, if you want an easy life I cannot speak highly enough of Squarespace- free trial, really easy to use and helpful people.

    • RSPCA advice on keeping dogs safe in the heat:  'Dogs die on hot walks Dogs are 10 times more likely to suffer heat-related illnesses from exercising in hot weather than from overheating in cars. Learn how to keep dogs safe and help us raise awareness of this deadly problem.' https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/hotwalks?utm_source=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&utm_medium=email&utm_content=button1&utm_campaign=Campaigns_Hotwalks_10072025&campaigncode=25STNFDIGVXA1
    • I didn't say anything was "a fact". I said it was "hardly likely" 🙄 Do you seriously think someone would go out of their way to harm or kill an unusual animal? Even assuming they ever actually saw it? And then you deleted your post. Did you not want people to see what you had said?
    • If people were diligent about not leaving food items out where it is accessible, then we wouldn't have as big a fox problem. Foxes raid trash bins for food and leave rubbish strewn on the pavement.  Other European cities have strict rules on disposal of edibles and they dont have a fox problem
    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
