I am planning on making a website. Any suggestions on where to make it (i.e. freewebs). And also where is the cheapest place to get a domain name?

I also want to know where the guy from TheCouncilMusic.com made his website. If you haven't checked out that site you probably should.

K+ for any input/help

-TheCouncilMusic.com was made with wordpress. 

-Wordpress, squarespace, blogger, and webs are good ways to make a website.

-GoDaddy has really cheap domains.

GoDaddy sponsers like a million things, and the people they sponser usually give out codes or /blahblah tags to get a discount or even free domain name registration...i know there are a lot of popular youtube users who give out codes for GoDaddy...thats my contribution

jumpline.com had a deal for $5 domain and hosting, thats what i did for my site. And I'd download Adobe Dreamweaver and learn to code and build your site from scratch or a template. so much better than some shitty free flash site. Stick to HTML5 and CSS3

If you legitimately want to make a website and not have it made for you.


Download the 30 day trial of dreamweaver.

Then find a site that will give you free nonprofit hosting with the purchase of a domain name.

Make some awesome do good site like getting kids into skiing.

Watch online tutorials. I don't really know any outside of lydia which is quite expensive.



I hold strong on the fact that Wordpress is blogging software. People who tell you they will make you a website and put the entire thing in wordpress when the blog isn't the primary need are not web developers.

I just really really hate Wordpress and its ability to make people think they can call themselves developers.
