I want to build and manage my own website. Nowt fancy, just pics and video, links and them widgets to FB/Twitter/youboob etc etc... and contact me section.
I know I will have to pay for the hosting of the name.... but are there any free website building programs or apps or summit like that that are simple to use?
Wordpress is fine. I've always tended to handcode but recently built a site with WP for the first time. Seems ok and the person I was making it for has found it fairly easy to update it.
The only thing is finding a decent (free) template and editing it, but I guess it depends how good you want the site to look!
Wordpress is, to all intents and purposes, the business. I use it ALOT for client sites as it works out of the box and you can customise it into the ground; you can make it effectively invisible.
