    ^You can make a dapper website in 2 days.

    What most wont tell you is that after that you have to spend 80/90% of your time removing malware/spam scripts and general fckery.

    What type of website - no need to be too specific, but might be able to help.

    Lot's of sharks on there - cheap prices - but once you give them your admin passwords they'll put backdoors on the site - to do what I just described above.

    Use EBAY or ALIBABA or similair if you're selling - free to set up and they take care of the security.

    Or you could try something like Hostgator - cheap as chips and they offer free website templates/sites (with 500 odd templates) with the cheap as chips hosting packages. Maybe not the most mind-blowing sites, but they are secured and updated regularly.

    Trying to keep an "independent" website secure is impossible - unless you're a programmer and have time on your hands.

    Themeforest is another one that has a good rep.

    Dapper and CS thanks

    I found a guy for 250.00 quid supplies design hosting template and seo, support for a year.



    The website is just a one page site, to promote services, as HRMC is trying to get all self employed to go LTD.
    if you have any websites you have done send us a message with links and price

    What a bargain!!!

    It's about 1 or 2 hours work, and maybe 2 hrs spread over the next year.

    ^ I'm sure it is for someone who knows and has the time to do it themselves.

    Think it should be coming along soon, had a bit of a setback.

    Think i got the person i want now through elance a Pro and knows what i want, and willing to work with me.

    A guy i had seemed to just do what he wanted to do with no input from me, and no communication.

    Not ethical to do such, I'd say this designer of my site, didn't read anything that i mailed him.

    When he doubled the price, that was me gone,when alarm bells start ringing its head for the door.

    I know nothing about Elance, or setting up a website, but I received an email that had a link suggesting this website creating software. I know nothing about this product too, but here 'tis.

    Sometimes you pay for expertise, not time per se.

    My international commercial rate starts at US$250.











    Per hour.
