Morning all,
I want to build a website, that will really just be for info (for a new business). It doesn't need to be fancy, no booking or buying online or anything. I just need a web presence, I think.
What's the best way to go about this? Paying someone to do it for me, buying some software and doing it myself, or can someone recommend a free website-building download?
Also, what's the etiquette with domain names? I have registered a couple of different but linked things; the one I really wanted was only available as a .com, the .co.uk had been taken. I got the .com one, then managed to find the details of the person who had registered the .co.uk. I already know one person in the area who is doing the same thing as me, and so I avoided her permutation of the domain name - her website/ business is up and running and we are on friendly terms.
The question is, should I contact this other person who doesn't seem to have got started yet? If I am using the .com one it might get confusing if she starts using the .co.uk one as well. Potentially, we could actually share a website as we will be offering the same thing and there seems to be enough work around that we could quite easily share it, thereby sharing costs as well. Has anyone got any experience of a situation like this?
Oh, the excitement of new ventures
