Web design

[willowman]

I would like to design my own website. Can anyone recommend a not too expensive package that would help me. I don't want anything flash, just want to get my business on the net

Maybe others will disagree but I think you'll need to be much more specific about what you need from the website.

Is it just a permanent online advert (prompting people to phone/visit you and give you business) or do you need it to take sales?
Also, are you asking other technical questions about where to get the name :
willowman.co.uk
and where to host the pages of your site?

Sorry, should have been more specific.

I have domain name set up, and a customer has built a single page site for me.

I want to produce a website of about 6 pages, just to advertise the business. I don't want to take advantage of said customer, so would like to have a go at producing something myself. PCWorld sell packages, but being a novice I don't know which would be suitable.

Thanks for any help.

If you don't mind something fairly basic, try Ewisoft. If you don't mind their (small) credit, it's free - or fairly cheap if you want to remove the "created with": http://www.ewisoft.com/

Example: http://www.hightown.southampton.sch.uk/school/p1.htm (this could be a lot fancier, but I didn't have the time to do a complete redesign and basically transposed the old version of the site to the Ewisoft template).

Or for a few quid/month at http://order.1and1.co.uk/ you can get another template-based site (like this one: http://www.chaosuk.net ).

Macromedia's Dreamweaver is the most common WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) package I've come across that is used by professional web people.
