what ever you do make sure the domain name (yournameyouwant.co.uk) is registered to you and not whoever does it for you.
-
buy the web name first from 123.co.uk
what do u get for 99 + vat?
-
i was told they would design it for me and they have done thousands of wc sites.
they use a pro picture company for images at no extra cost to me.
i would own the name in .com or co.uk
4 pages,domain name,email,hosting
their site is amcsinterent.co.uk
-
ive just found a voucher offer on a google search aswell.
so if i took out the £99 +vat bronze package - with the voucher i would get the following 12 months hosting for free

love the look of steve cm's site - clear magic ...
thanks. But i had a look about and you really do have to spend a bit to get a good result. I think mine was fanatstic for the money considering what some want to charge and the standard of design you get. If you want a website that costs a hundred quid then it will look like a website that cost 100 quid...sorry but its the truth! :)

a web designer create sites from the ground up. I think one uses dreamweaver the other uses templates...or am i wrong? If so i wouldn't call them web designers. Maybe keen Amauters.
Its a bit like someone buying a camera and calling themselves a photographer
-
Me and my friend have started dabling in this, hes gone into learning html, css and java script etc. Ive always used dreamweaver, i thought he was just wasting his time, but you cant make a website like you can with code.
As steve said, you need ground up.

Dreamweaver is a standard web design tool,.. probably the best in the industry. Its not a cheat,.. just a tool.
I use templates mostly because its cheaper, and us window cleaners are tight! I do also build from scratch, but due to the extra cost its rare that I get asked to.
Thanks to all who recommended me,.. but at the moment I'm booked up solidly for 6 weeks minimum. :)

I never said it was a cheat. but designers who use it would normally just write the code as opposed to using the app. To create a template of your own doesn't take long if you know how to use PS. so cost shouldn't be the issue

Dreamweaver lets you write the code direct with a live preview of your progress,.. one of the reasons I like it.
The coding part of making a new template doesn't take long at all,.. its the graphic design side of things that I personally find time consuming.

Seriously the graphic design part is the simplist. It would take a matter of a hour or so to come up with a decent web template.
Do you write code then nat? could you write a website from scratch on note pad and put it straight into dreamweaver and have a fully functioning site?

Graphic design is not my strong point!!
I would find it tough going coding a site from scratch though,.. the WYSIWYG interfaces of the last 10 years have made me lazy!

I don't need to add anything else after this. If you can't create a template then your a window cleaner trying to be a designer ;)
Not putting you down, just saying it as i see it

I am not getting dragged into this one, I do use dreamweaver as do many of the web companies in the uk it is a tool to do a job as is photoshop and many others there is a little more to designing then just what you see, but I really cant be assed going into it, .
Love your new site by the way :-*
-
About time you got yours done ain't it? :-*

Comparing photoshop to dreamweaver is a little wrong in my opinion. As Nat said dreamweaver and other interfaces have become very easy to use and made people lazy lol.
Photoshop is a strong and hard program to use, i could give someone dreamweaver and after an hour they probably could of made a basic layout, its just like doing a miscorsoft word document. Give someone photoshop and they wouldnt know where to start, ive been using it for years and its hard, now i dont know everything on there but i can always acheive what im looking for on it, but thats taken a long time...like coding a website ;D

i built this one myself mate
