i have just built my site with streamline.net, hosting is 5.99 per month with free domain and sitemaker, i am just about to try and learn joomla but for meantime it seems to do the trick, 5.99 per month aint that bad either....

I did give you loads of sites before.

For a basic site, use Mr Site. It's not flash, the editor is basic but does the job. I can get it cheaper than RRP so let me know.

Its also good to look at your website using different browsers.
For example some browsers dont display containers.

I tested my site on Safari and it had white text on a white background because the container hadnt been displayed ! :eek: :eek: :eek:
I wonder how many customers i lost due to that !

I started off with 123 Reg and got things up and running it was good enough to be start but there were certain things like lack of templates that sent me someone where else.

I'm now hosted by a certain web guru ;) and the service can't be faulted :D

Well given about 90%+ of Safari users are Mac users, probably not many :P :D

Thanks guys :)

Unfortunately the OP is looking for some sort of sitemaker software along with the hosting package, and I don't provide that. The alternative would be to use a CMS system like Joomla, CMSMS etc...most of which can be installed on my server without any problems.

For a decent website maker (and dead easy to use) check this out:

http://viviti.com/

Recommended by ComputerActive! (or Web User - I can't remember!). And best of all, it's FREE! (for the moment, anyway!). You can use one of their many templates and modify it to suit. You can add all sorts of content and widgets by simply selecting what you want and clicking where you want to put it on the page. What could be simpler? What more could you want?

I'm currently using the service to build my new Wedding discos website and it's the best-looking site I've ever created. When it's finished I'll put a linky up and you lot can rip it to pieces! :D
