There are several ways you can create/design a website. Basically, it boils down to how much time you want to spend on setting up a website or how much money you want to spend.
1. Use an on-line program like our Web Site Builder. Try our demo Web Site Builder, and see how easy it is to use. With our Web Site Builder you can create a contact form, blogger, guest book, photo gallery, polls, and even submit your website to search engines! If you host your website with us, we'll set you up with your very own personal Web Site Builder for free!
2. Try using special software which you install on your computer. You can get Mozilla Composer , for free. Or purchase Microsoft Front Page for around $100, or Dreamweaver, which is very popular. These different software program are used to design and create your website on your computer. When youre finished, you upload the files to your website via an FTP client or the software's publishing option.
You might also try using blog software such as Word Press to create your website or create a blog (RSS). Bummer Hosting will install Word Press for you, then you can choose from many, many different templates. Templates have to be uploaded via FTP. You will need to have the option of adding a Database on the hosting plan you are on. If you have questions, contact Bummer Hosting. If you are a current webhosting client, then submit a Tech Ticket to enquire about adding Word Press. This program is very easy to use.
3. If you don't have the time to create your web site, you can find a webmaster or webdesigner to do this for you. They can be expensive and the average cost for a 5 - 7 page website is around $500 - $1000. If you use a webmaster, be sure to tell them exactly what you want and expect. If you want something simple designed and you have a template you like from the Web Site Builder or Word Press, submit a Tech Ticket to us, to enquire about having your website built by us. Bummer Hosting designs websites and also maintains website for a few clients. The pricing for us to design something for you will depend on what you want, how many pages, etc...
