Your friend did a great job with his site. It is better than some of the "professional" sites I have seen and have had to rebuild. His site could just a little cleanup from a website designer like yourself. All the features are there and now a little organization and cleanup and it could be brilliant. I have been working for weeks on various sites and the sight of some designs almost brings me to tears. If I had ten dollars for every time someone has said, "Would you believe that I made the whole site myself?" (I lie of course.); I would not be building websites. As I do a lot of art sites, this particular link struck me a really funny. It was sent by a friend in the biz: http://www.linesandcolors.com/2007/05/31/how-not-to-display-your-artwork-on- the-web/ (I was thinking this link with a few changes might describe the new Windows 8 interface <evil grin>) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Kathryn Bassett Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 8:28 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Anyone know of a good cheap or no cost simple website hosts http://www.weebly.com/ I used to do the website for a friend. I had originally set up a WordPress site for him, but he was having too much trouble with it. So he would just feed me information to update the regular web pages. Then someone told him about Weebly and he tried it out and found it very easy to use. He did *everything* from scratch and when he was ready, I changed the DNS to go to his Weebly site and this is the result: http://www.hivhope.net/ I think he did a great job for having absolutely no web skills. -- Kathryn Rhinehart Bassett (Pasadena CA) "Genealogy is my bag" "GH is my soap" kathryn at bassett.net http://bassett.net > -----Original Message----- > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech- > bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Bartow > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 9:08 AM > To: dba-ot at databaseadvisors.com; DBA-Tech > Subject: [dba-Tech] Anyone know of a good cheap or no cost simple web > site hosts > > Hi all, > > I have a number of non-profits clients who have been doing their own > smallish, simple websites using Windows Live free website service.
