Setting up a website

Re: Setting up a website

Thank you Niddy, I would be interested in your service for hosting, it's for a poultry site advertising the stock I have available, but no online payments.
In the meantime, I will take your advice and add to the description.

SH, I don't really know where to begin! Ideally, I need a domain and email address, then a host site. I'm using webs.com, however, I would prefer to set up something different and be visible on search engines.

Or use a builder such as wix/joomla et al

They come with ready made sites/themes.

Re: Setting up a website

I have no experience at setting up a website, apart from on Webs.com, but I could really do with one that is visible on a search engine.
Please does anyone have experience of this?

Yes, what is it you need to know?

Re: Setting up a website

Google doesnt rank on keywords now so in meta data I use ALL as its pointless adding keywords which is where a lot of SEO bundles come from. The secret to get noticed is actually relevance to wording with search terms.

If you're selling tv's don't just write "40" samsung plasma for sale" instead say "40" Samsung Plasma 3D tv with 3 hdmi, full hd, 3d passive...." in essence use more words to describe your products.

If you want to learn from scratch you need hosting plus a theme. Custom build wont be good for a novice. Our new service will be ready by new year. £1pm hosting and I'll build you a site if you're still looking. No worries there.

Loads of options. You don't need to pay silly money. Not nowadays.

Avoid 1&1 hosting like the plague.
