Hi I have, I only have a basic one and I'm pretty rubbish with computers so it is simple, but I have had loads of work from it and am very pleased. Xx

Try moonfruit.

Free Website Builder - Moonfruit - Beautiful websites, simply

It's very much a 'fill in the blank' kind of website, you set the template, add pictures, banners, scrolling things, music, whatever you fancy!

I've had mine with them for donkey's years, and MAF was a moonfruit site for a long time too.

I pay £2.99 a month for it, and could give you about 10 different websites of other makeup artists/therapists/specialists who use it, and we all look pretty different!

Oh thats good to know. I do have another website but havent had much from it so I decided to scrap that and start afresh with vista as I get all my other marketing materials from them. Do you know if it appears on google or do you have to register it somehow?

I use Vistaprint and I have been very pleased with it. Easy to set up and use. I alter/add to it all the time. Take the top one if you go with it as it offers as many pages as you need,

If you don't put in any googly type things, it will eventually, based on your hit rate, but may take some time. You can put some widgety things in (can you tell I'm not techy???!!!) and it will get you ranking straight away.

Im with Vista Print and I love my website. Ive only got the basic one but will be upgrading to the better one soon so I can have a gallery page etc.

The only thing I will say be careful of is not to follow their wording too closely. They give you a template depending on the industry you're in and I've been to a few websites where the wording is very very similar to mine (and mine to theres if you see what I mean!). However, that shows how lazy I was and I should be more creative!

Hope that helps!

xx

I'd love to try a Vistaprint website but keep holding back due to pay they request payment. I have dealt with them for a number of years and never had a problem but i've heard of other horror stories from other companies where they just take willynilly off card.

Also if you wanted to stop payment would you need to request a new card to do that?

I am really glad to come across this thread!!
I've been looking at making a website, but what I don't understand is how to get a high rating on google??? will vista print or moonfruit help you to do this?? or do you have to pay additional fees to the search engine?
