help with a website

hi guys, i dont know where to start so ive come here for sum advice.

i need to set up a website, bout 10 pages of information, i am selling things, so i would need sum sort of credit card transaction thing on there, and sumthing for paypal.

i cant build my own websites, so i need sumbody to do this for me. i havent bought a domain name yet or anything.

does anybody know of a cheap company/person who will do everything for me? the webpages will only be text with a few photo's , nothing complex at all.

i think it would be easier for me to find one place who will sell me domain and build/maintain site??

any help is appreciated, thanx

(sorry if this is in wrong place!)

  • Try https://www.getafreelancer.com , i've used it several times for various website projects. Basically you post a 'project' on there describing what you want doing and what your budget is and people from around the world will bid to work for you, they may give you samples of what they can do, or point you towards website they've already done for others, the site also has a rating system similar to ebay so you can make an informed decision on who you choose. After you choose a person to work with you complete the transaction through the site who take a small commission, then you go off and chat with them privately through msn, email, or whatever to get the project done. Only when you are 100% happy do you pay them, as the funds are held in escrow! Well worth a look..
  • I use customsoftware.co.uk

    These are the site he created for me:
    https://www.islacanelagolf.com
    https://www.eyeonislacanela.com
    https://www.islacanelaholiday.com

    Cheap as well

    If you're only selling 10 things, I'd suggest bag a domain name from 123-reg.co.uk or heartinternet.co.uk, the webspace from somewhere cheap and cheerful (and very efficient) like 34sp.com, and download the free oscommerce software oscommerce.com

    I did it without any hassle, although I did have to plunder the support forums a couple of times. Total price - buttons :)

    You can get a domain for $8 at Godaddy.com

    Take a look at oscommerce for the shopping cart script.

    But if you're looking to have someone set up the site for you try https://www.elance.com

    so did you use software, or did sumbody design the sites for you? little confused!?

    im guessing there isnt one place that just does everything for you? register domains, build site and help maintain? (although i think maintaining it, isnt so hard) i just want it up and running to be honest!!
  • OrchardHosting.com offers very cheap rates and you can install OSCommerce automatically onto your site so there would be very little setting up.....
    If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.
