After you have an idea of a website you want to make, know what you want in it and selected a web host, where does it go from there...?
Do you tell them what you want in it and they do it? Will they have different formats/style you can select from, do you have to make that up yourself or buy it from another site? I know they give you space for what you pay for, but will there be a selection of ways you could have your site done? Also...will they do the "clickable" stuff for you? example the top of this page says....Layouts, Graphics, Scripts ect. can I tell them what to put up there and they'll do it? Thanks. |

Visit GoDaddy or 1and1, they offer tool that design a website for you. They are pretty good and come with the hosting you buy.
GoDaddys is called WebSite tonight and 1and1's is called WebSite Builder or something like that. A webhosting provides you with many services. The first being space on a maintained server that has to be kept up and running. They also provide you with support, say if you can not see your website you email them and they look into the problem and fix it. Depending on who you purchase from, some are better at what they do than others. Do some shopping around and Google the company you are looking at. |

Yea, godaddy and 1and1 have site builders but you should get hosted on like http://www.surpasshosting.com/ or some host related to that site because they give you cpanel [control panel] and theres a thing called Fantastico in there where you can also build your site without knowing coding:] I get hosted by Pink-pistol.net they are really good:] |
