Mr Site

Has anyone used Mr Site? LINKY

I need something that's easy to set up and run, I know I could learn HTML and all that, but I really don't want to :D

    yes I use Mr Site and I love it. It's so easy to set up and easy to run. You can take payments through it if you need to and edit it really easily. The site is linked to whatever domain name you choose and it's all done quick and easily.

    I have two sites one with mr site and the other 123-reg. I much prefer my mr site one and have just bought another one ready to finish with 123. It is easy to set up and run, the forum is good for advice, it looks alot better than my 123-reg one and its cheaper as with 123 you have to upgrade to get more pages and shopping basket.

    Thanks :)

    But I can't bring myself to trust someone I don't know to do it for me :D Also I worry that if someone has done it for me and I want to change something, I won't understand it :o I would rather do it myself. I've had look around some of the sites HERE and they look OK to me.

    I would also get a designer as a rule as it can be built with seo in mind (search engine optimisation) and you can have it as you please. Try https://www.scriptlance.com to find someone to do it, this is a Global site and the price ranges are Global i.e. very cheap.

    If you rent hosting space and get a freelancer to install one of the free shopping carts eg Cubecart, Zencart or Oscommerce, and have them tailor/style if for you, then the maintenence + hosting costs might come out at £20/month. Main beneift is you have complete control to make changes you need.

    As well as Scriptlancer there is Rentacoder and Getafreelancer
