It's not that complicated (in terms of graphics or commerce/doesn't need to make any transactions or anything like that) and I already have the home page design in my head and sketched out........maybe a half dozen other intra site page links AND unlimited capability in terms of adding new pages.......archive capacity too, I guess............
Not too much graffix......real clean pages, mostly text, stories but it has to be real classy upfront and very professional........will be a commercial site.
I know some html but no css etc............nothing will be purchased directly on the site but it will link to many other business sites..........might be nice to have tracking no of hits on it.....
I wouldn't think any template would work......but I've only seen a few sites offering them.....I want the home page to be very clean, unique, and classy and have the background be a pic of the sky and light reflecting off a body of water.........very light and subtle.....do you always need a lot of text on the home page to be positioned well?
oh and go daddy has the domain available but wants be to purchase extra ending like net, bix, info, yahdayyahdayyahdayya......is it worth it? and how do you use them to increase traffic? (The website name will have the name of a city in it so maybe I should buy a few extra???)
All advice must be free or very cheap! to start off with....if you're REAL helpful tho......I'd be happy to do some editing or some kind of barter with you........Thanks! ds
