    Default Website advice needed!

    Okay, I have decided to give my business a re-vamp. New name etc, etc. I've decided to do a website but haven't a clue which site that offers free webs is easy (and i mean easy!) to use. One of the ones I have looked at is Microsoft Office live. Can anyone out there tell me if this is really easy to use? or should I try a different one?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I use Microsft Office live and found it really easy. You can then add more technical bits by searching around on the web. For example I wanted my logo as a background on all of my pages so I hunted and found a code that allowed me to do this. A really nice looking basic site is very easy to do. If you decide to use microsoft and have any problems give me a shout

    Forgot to say I chose this one as I wanted to go for one that didn't have adverts on my site

    Pauline makes websites and they are very reasonably priced!

    Otherwise, you could try webs.com or webnode.com - I use them both and I'm not a techno wizard.

    Thanks manjay. Thats really kind of you. I've looked at your site and it looks great! Hope I can produce something that looks that good. Think i am going to have to enlist the help of my DS . Hes the computer whizz of the house. I think I would like to use my logo too. So how do you find the code?

    No probs. Thanks for the positive comments about my site

    You can add the logo simply as an image as I have on my home page. Once you have done the basics of the site I can then try and help with background images if you want to do that.
