Website Domain, Hosting and Creation

[lord-of-creation]

Working a few weeks for an engineering company and one of the things they want is for a website to be developed. It only needs to be something basic i.e an about us page, further details on the type of work they provide and sectors, some photos, contact page...that sort of thing

Now I'm as clueless with web design as the owners are. We almost went with reg-123 today which would have been £80 a year for a .com domain, hosting and using their website design tool. However, I then read a lot of bad reviews about them. Then when searching for others, I couldn't find any that didn't have some seriously negative reviews.

Can anybody recommend what we need and which company/companies we should use?

Thanks

An easy and professional looking design tool is squarespace.

Haven't used it myself, but looking into it. Sites built with it don't look they come from a template.

For hosting, it's the usual PH answer - Register1!

The squarespace website talks about hosting, do they host your created website? Or would I still need to sign up to something like register1 to host the website?
