Making a Website - Long Beach,CA

I know you are looking for free but sometimes user friendly is a bit more important, especially if you do not have much experience in web design. If you have access to an Apple computer iWeb is a great product & super easy to use even for beginners.

You could also try wix.com. I have tried this & a bit more time consuming than the Mac iWeb program but has many options. Also, might want to check out weebly.com. I think that both are free to design websites & blogs--not sure if there is a web hosting fee though.

For domain names & web hosting, I have been using godaddy.com for over 5 years & very pleased with their service, not to mention user friendly.

Bear in mind it is a very time consuming venture no matter how simple you are planning to make it or how experienced you are at web design. Sometimes worth paying for a professional to make it, host it, etc. & Depending on the product you are selling sometimes sites like etsy & ebay are easier venues for exposure than your own created website.

Teachers use these sites:

You also need to register your domain name.
You need web hosting too.
Lots to research....

Interesting... I was just wondering that same question. I have an idea on something I would like to start making and am wondering if I should make some first and try selling online or get my stamp on it first? I cannot tell what it is either because I don't want to give it away.

You could try http://www.site2you.com Easy-to-use website builder with huge set of website templates. No programmings skills required, just choose template and customize it as you like. Hope this helps.

I have a website on webs.com. It's super easy to put together and free. They have lots of templetes to customize you web site. And you can choose to upgrade to a paid site once you business gets going.

www.weebly.com. It's easy to use and free!! You don't need any web experience at all to have a website up in minutes! Lots of templates to choose from and a lot of customization as well. They give you a free domain name or you can buy your own. You can upgrade to Pro version for more tools but the free version has so much you probably don't need to.

It hosts your site as well. So no need to pay for a host!
