Looking into the possibility of having a Web site for a little business adventure I’m involved in, is there anyone on here (or could recommend someone) in to designing Web sites and could give us some ideas/costs etc?

Send me a pm with some contact details and we can have a chat.

Mods. If this isn’t allowed please delete.

I do recall someone off here assisting LISA with their website glow.

Sadly however I can not remember who but I am sure Gubrats or Dick Jones (Lynda) will.

Cheers Harold, seem to remember something myself now you’ve mentioned it.

Take a look at Wordpress. No coding required.
For retail, I've heard good things about shopify but I've not done anything with that.

Thanks for the reply Paul, and I’m glad no coding is required because I don’t know what coding is.

As you can probably tell I’m a bit (well quite a lot really) of a Dinosaur with regards to this type of stuff.

What I’m looking for is someone who I could have a chat with, knock some ideas up, and for them to come up with some costs and design the website, that we can then hopefully keep updated ourselves, as it and the business grows.

Could you do this or point me in the right direction of someone who could?

As they all recommend, find a WordPress (WP) designer or learn yourself - recommended - as you'll save a ton on site update costs. Once you find a WP host with CPanel access it takes 5 mins to set up WP as they have integrated WP installers in the CPanel area. Then grab a free WP theme to start, download, install (all self-explanatory in the WP admin/backend and takes seconds) and simply add your content (logo, images, text, contact form, etc). WP Plugins (many free such as Ninja Contact form) allow rapid install of a plethora of site bolt-on features. When you learn WP you will have a great money-saving skill. Take it from there. And obviously grab your domain name first from somewhere like IWantMyName or via your host - and always register the domain in your name, never give up control to a web designer ever!

Shopify is the best SaaS ecom platform available today with regards total conversions/sales and lowest subscription drop out rates. SaaS has the Pay-As-You-Go benefit.

Good Luck!

Glow - I work for Sky as a Software Developer and would be happy to chat to you directly as I may be able to deliver what you need in my spare time at a reasonable cost. I can provide some examples of websites I have built in the past and we can go from there.

Please PM me and I can give you my email if interested to chat further.

Cheers Saley89 you have mail.
