where is best to have your webdesigner, pricewise and practically, local or virtually on the web?

Although you can meet with a local webmaster and show concept art or thoughts, you can always talk on the phone and scan your thoughts and send them.\n\nI figure that casting a wider net will yield a lower price... but check their work.  A bargain may be because they are not very good... but you might find someone just starting out that will give you a lower price for the experience (again, look at their portfolio first).

I don't know where you are geographically, but increasingly, people go on-line to check for local services. \n There's a great free e-book at http://services.inquire-sbi.com about how services can use the Web to build business.  I have done that. My site is http://www.writershelper.com. My business is different because I can have world-wide clients, but the book will show you how to use the Web to build a local business, too.\nOf course this is only one piece of the pie and others will give you other advice as well.\n\nBest wishes.

First, most of the non-profits, churches and schools in your town would probably leap a an offer to help them with a web design. However, designing a web site for the local scout troop, food bank or Methodist church would not get you to meet many people. There you would be, back in the office, toiling away with Dream Weaver.\n\nThe United Way office in your town would be a good place to start. They usually have lists of jobs.

somthing like that will cost you BIG $$$ - If you don't know anything about web design, I suggest you start learning asap. It would cost you 5 digits just to hire a designer. Thats not including, hosting, advertising, or anything else that you will need.

I would strongly recommend www.mewebhost.com\n\nI've been using them for 2 years now and they're absolutely fantastic. Uptime guaranteed to 99.9%. They're hosting plans are very valuable and price reasonable. They're great for individual sites as well as for small business websites. As far as creating your own website goes, they even give you a link to download over 300+ PRE-DESIGNED WEB TEMPLATES which are really neat, so that might be of a great help for you.\n\nCheck it out: http://www.mewebhost.com

http://www.remax.com is good... but do some research to get what you want, so that it is more meaningful to you and your needs. Here is some design advice, I hope helps.\n\nCheck the big names and then include small local realtors in your area so that you can get an overall point of view on what the others are offering in their Website package, then decide if there is anything you can add to improve what you will be offering to your customers.\n\nWebdesign is not just what you think is pleaseing to look at, think also what the viewer/visitor will be viewing, versues what they want for content. \nA few quick ideas:\n\n1. Content, make it easy to find pertinate items that the visitor need to make the visit worth while, and they will return.\n\n2. Design, pleasing while stright forward. Easy to navigete. Also if you go high tech (flash), don't go overboard. And by all means look at what others have done. Then incorporate the best ideas and despose of the bad.\n\n3. Domain name. Think of an easy to find name, that is unique to your market. Then check for the availablity of the name in a Who's it listing. Link below will assist you in this.

Atomic Imaging does professional web design, and have a great reputation in Chicago.  We've been pretty impressed with the work we've seen from them in the past.  Their website is http://www.atomicimaging.com/\n\nYou could also just purchase a template website and customize it yourself, but that may involve a lot of work, especially if you're not used to doing web design.  Just shop around and take a look at different companies that builds websites.\n\nForeclosureFish\nhttp://www.foreclosurefish.com/

Learn html, buy domain space, decide what youwant on it, write content, design interface.\n\nOr contact a web designer like me (www.foneblog.ie/andym)! I am not lookin gfor wark, just making the point that it can be a lot to take on if you do not knwo what you are doing. If it is just a personal website you mean then consider a blog. If it is a business one (even a sole trader) you are best to get a web designer as it is what you rcustomers see as you so it should look great.

i currently use Yahoo! Small Business and their web hosting services. they are fantastic and have really grown my own website over the past four years. they have a merchant program which gives you support as you set up an online business and gives you pointers as to where exactly you can go from the start.\n\nif you don't want to start an online merchant store just yet, i still would recommend the web hosting package. it comes with site builder and pagebuilder so you can design the site yourself instead of paying a designer to do it for you. the package i have is web hosting starter and it costs me a little over 8 dollars a month. i have unlimited storage and great 24/7 support with Yahoo!. its cheap and has tons of storage and greap options. you should check it out.

I use hotscripts.com for a large majority of the stuff that I design. Some of the scripts are paid, but most of the scripts are open source and free..........

well... I'd say you could start by going to freewebs.com and make a website there... it's free and they have some basic layouts for you... the only downside is that your website comes with advertisements on it... If you want your own server Yahoo I believe has it wher eyou can register a domain for $9.99 I think for a year... but then you'd have to buy a server and/or run the website off your computer.\n\nIf you want it professional looking and don't like freewebs.com and want to design it yourself... that's where it get's expensive and I'd suggest using Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Dreamweaver...\n\nPhotoshop for graphics and Dreamweaver will help you with setting up the pages to where they look nice..\n\nOther then buying those two programs... Freewebs.com is the only place right now to help you get started at least with a basic website...\n\nI'm a graphic designer myself and have helped design websites... you can email me and I'll help you design your website and all... You'd just once again have to pay for a domain then a host if you're not planning on hosting it off your computer.

It's all preference.  They're just two different companies.  Dreamweaver has some pre-built code that you can add to your webpages, although frontpage does to --- but they are kind of boring.  Frontpage is a little bit easier to use, in my oppinion.  They both will deliver you the same results though.  I believe that Frontpage might even be cheaper if purchased through ebay.  Do you know how much a website designer can cost you?  I've worked on websites from fortune 1000 companies to one person owned websites and the cost is not cheap.  My company would charge nothing less than 1,000 dollars for a website.  You got to think about the man hours involved.  You have to create graphics, you have to program the site, you have to host the site, buy the domain.  It's not just like slapping it on the internet and there you go.\n\nFrontpage will create any type of webpage you want, html, htm, php, asp, etc.\n\nI would suggest going to w3schools.com and learning HTML.  This could save you a lot of money and time and it is simple to learn.

I recommend SiteBuildIt. I used it for my site and found it really easy to use with impressive results.\n\nNot only do you get a good looking site, very reasonably priced, but they also give you loads of info and advice on how to get good rankings with the SEs. I can vouch for this working as in a very short space of time I was on the first page of Google for loads of my keywiords.\n\nDefinitely worth looking at as it is good value for money and the support and  follow up service is excellent too\n\nIf you want to take a look at my experiences in using it then go to this page on my web site:-\nhttp://www.costadelsol-vacationrentals.com/build-your-own-web-site.html
