There must be similar organisations throughout the UK

There was a guy posted on here offering to help in the creation of a website for people, i cant find the thread he helped me with somthing. The guy is just starting out and looking to build his portfolio I think maybe you could contact him.

it isnt just the creation of the site that costs, the hosting is also somthing you need to take in to consideration, you tend to get what you pay for a good reliable host will cost where the cheaper hosts can be unreliable which isnt somthing you want. email hosting ca be done by diferent comapnies too but usually your site host will do this typical cost for a reasonable host is £20 a year per mail box, some comapnies now also offer a package say 99 mailboxes for £100 a year that can be self administered (creating and deleteing of mail boxes)

If the site is going to be somthing to genarate business for you then you should really invest in it and promote it also make sure you get a good, easily remembered and catchy domain name, dont be taken in by the non .com or .co.uk domains no body remembers them even the .uk.com is a waste of time. If it isnt a big thing and only people that you have made contacted will be visiting then as long as it looks good and profesional it will boost their confidence in you as a company.
