Build Your Own Website-Free or Pay Monthly You get what you pay for in life and building your own website is no different. You see, Weebly is a great FREE way to start building your own website. If you want to learn some basic website building skills without taxing your brain too much, then this could well be the right service for you. You may, however, want to buy your own domain name at some stage or you will always have weebly.com at the end of your URL. What’s really good about Weebly is that you can choose from a library of header designs and photos, although again here you will be advertising a third party; the photographer or designer. Contact pages, photos, text boxes and HTML can all be added to your pages by simply dragging the relevant icon onto your page, then simply copy and paste, or browse to add your content. Again , there are some restrictions you should be aware of, such as sizing and justifying of text, although this can be mostly overcome by the use of numerous boxes. I did find this started to get a bit messy and I was soon outgrowing my simple website. It was evident that I needed to look for something with more functionality, but that would come with a price tag. All that said, Weebly is a good place to start if you have little or no experience. Although one last thing to remember, if you use their blog page function and would like to transfer your blogs at a later stage you will have to do this individually as there is no export functionality. What more can you expect from a FREE service? I could hazard a guess that some would want more, but it is FREE. Now in contrast to Weebly I discovered MyExpressSite. This also has a reasonably simple set up but with added flexibility, functionality, support desk, import and export facility, and one to one training, hosting and design service. There is a monthly fee, but a very reasonable one and sometimes your first month is heavily discounted! This allows you to get access to the service and get your website up and running before the standard fee kicks in. You still have a choice of header designs but this time you also have the opportunity to customise your website through the design team, obviously at an additional cost but again a very reasonable one. Because I wanted two websites with similar themes I got two headers for the price of one, however I have now used my one allowable design alteration. The design service and one to one training from the team at MyExpressSite make this somewhat daunting experience manageable and even fun. The added functionality that Wordpress brings to your website building process makes loading and changing content both easy and quick. You can also add widgets and plugins and place them virtually anywhere you like on your site, all managed through your dashboard. Adding media such as photos and videos is a longer process on your MyExpressSite, although once they are added they are available within your own media library for the future. If you like the addition of a friendly, professional customer service, the extra functionality and a more business-like website, then MyExpressSite could be the way to go. If you’re happy with less functionality and want a free service, then Weebly could be the one for you. www.yourZZZcash.com
