what ever you do make sure the domain name (yournameyouwant.co.uk) is registered to you and not whoever does it for you.

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

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. :)
