Basic Forwarding Page for a website
Discussion
I am wanting to create a simple image on a website that will link to the facebook page and contact details show on it.
I am wanting to do this while those in charge of the purse strings make a decision on the new website after the old one was trashed and no one knows the login details.
Does anyone know the best way to go about it? Can I reg for web hosting with 123-reg (who the website was bought with) or is there an alternatively that would be cheaper as it would only be for a few weeks.
Also the next thing I want is if someone could point me in the right direction in learning very quickly how to post a picture online and then add a facebook link, a coming soon and also the contact details.
Would I be best just to stick it up with html?

Here's the markup you'll need if you are putting a page together, rather than a simple redirect. Apologies if you are more than capable of doing this yourself
