What is the best design your own website site?

[Clair47]

Hi,

I'm looking at designing a business website myself.

However,there is so much to choose from.

Does anyone have any recommendations that would give me professional results & satisfaction?

I would need it to be found on popular search engines, have online payment facility & booking form.

Play video, great editing tools, design my own template or vast selection to choose from, add pictures etc.

Thanks

Clair

Hi Clair,

I would recommend Wordpress as a great platform for web creation. There are thousands of free and premium purpose-specific designs to choose from, customisation of general settings is very straightforward, and social media & SEO (search engine optimisation) is very straightforward. There's a huge community of developers and if you run into problems a Google search will almost always yield the answer.

To setup your own website, you will need a domain name i.e. www.mysite.com and hosting package to load the content from. I use www.tsohost.com for all of the sites I manage as it's very easy to use and has 1-click Wordpress installation.

Good luck with your website!

Adam

wix.com (never been easier!!) Try it. We did ours ourselves and are very proud of it. Not much tech knowledge needed and its fun too!

Wordpress is best if you require online payments and booking forms. Wix sites tend to look a bit naff by comparison to Wordpress although they are easier to set up and customise.
