I need to build my own website

Aug 24, 2007 8:56AM PDT

Hi guys,

I need to build a professional looking website for my company, at the minimum possible cost (or even for free). Can anyone recommend a good website builder that is rich in features/functionalities, and is easy to use for someone like me, who does not know much about programming.

If this question has been posed before, mind recommend/pinpoint me to old threads that you liked and found helpful on this subject?

Thanks for any help!!

What kind of functionalities does your company need?
Aug 25, 2007 9:48PM PDT

A webshop?
A discussion forum?
Streaming video?
Payed downloads?
Database search for products?
Blogs?

Or just something like a catalogue of what they sell.

functionalities

It's just a small consulting firm - no products. For now, just the ability to display background graphics, post photos, text in a way that convey a professional brand identity. In the future I may want to add artwork/header created in flash, and possibly some of the functionalities that you list. Thanks Kees Bakker for any advice.

Best Price I could find
Aug 27, 2007 12:27AM PDT

With lots of tools. The service is free when you register a domain $9.95/year. They have a site builder with cool flash templates but you'll have to request access to it after you signup (it doesn't cost anything). www.globeregistry.com

Check out www.lunarpages.com too ($27 off with coupon: Save27). Everything you will need in a host with tons of free site tools ($700 worth of free site design software). I have 7 web sites hosted on one shared plan with them and it's great. Definitely worth checking out.
