setting up a website

[eastyy]

my other half wants to setup a website she did try using vistaprint but was having problems was checking if there are any other decent alternatives (ideally free trial for the first moth)

[charlesr]

What does she want to use the website for?
Blog?
Shop?
Services showcase?

[eastyy]

actually all you mentioned lol

mostly a shop she is looking to put art stuff for sale but also as a showcase for art fairs

How much are you looking to spend?

[eastyy]

the last program she used was vista print which was a online web site making program with with a website host and that was about 14 euro a month so around that would be fine

Somebody recommended vidahost to me on here long ago.
I pay ?3.69 a month for a domain name and hosting.

I'd give that ago and ask them to install Wordpress for you.

All you'd need to do is find a theme wordpress theme that she like the looks of and you'd be set.

Just post if you need a hand with it.

I PM'd him about Wordpress a little while ago

There are some decent deals about for hosting if you look around (free first month etc).

I pay ?25 a year with orchard hosting. You can install your own Wordpress. Piece of cake. You get email with that as well along with 10 SQL databases etc. they're bloody awesome IMO and solve problems super quick when necessary.

anyone used serif webplus she downloaded that program and seems to find it useful?

cheers for the responses

Have a look through some of these wordpress templates

They will be far more proffesional looking and offer better behind the scenes management than any website builder software. Unless those things are super advanced beyond what I can imagine.
