I need a website I guess...

[vauxh al]

Now I'm doing this racing, I guess I need a site to promote myself etc and try getting some sponsorship in. Now while IT savvy, I have never dabbled with web sites, and who where you host them etc? Anyone into this sort of thing?

[Kinky]

Dude,

If you're up for a beer sometime, then I'd be happy to meet up, have a chat and help out

Although, that said, I'm sure most of the SAS would be / could muck in (both technically and inbibically (if such a word exists)).

Don't know what stuff you have but iweb on a mac is really easy to use and if you have a mobile me account its up and running within seconds.

Basic but it seems to work

[RemainAllHoof]

Wix.com!

[vauxh al]

Cheers K, will have to do that. Due an Ascot night soon...

I have a mac so will check out iWeb, even if its something basic. Need something for sposors to see and refer to when I get spamming for money!

Somewhere like this is good for a professional looking website that anyone can create:

I had same thought, did mine on iWeb and used the web spae I get with Mobile Me, didn't take long (and isn't that good ) www.speedsix.co.uk

I also looked at doing a blog on Wordpress so I could easily update from iphone and was minimal hassle, links from my site

TC's just gone live with a new site - http://www.trackotel.com/

I'm sure he could point you in the right direction?

Try www.milkshakedesign.com. I found them through a recommendation on PH and they have given us excellent results. We had spent a lot of money with another company but had no SEO returns until we went with milkshake. We are now starting to see a return on the money we have spent and feature high in the organic Google listings.

Does that include managing it and updates I have been offered a host too, but happy to have as many sponsors as possible. Things are getting rather expensive, tyre prices are making me cry!

Also have some suggestions for Snett hotels.

Take off the full stop from the web-address and it works

Yep happy to do whatever really, I do Mike's Cerbera Racing one:

http://www.cerberav8racing.co.uk/

Site itself can remain fairly static and we have changed his recently to use facebook feed from his team page to show latest comments etc from him. Works quite well as a news feed. I'll update the text on his once or twice a year and maybe load some new photos in the gallery, he just then posts updates and comments on FB.
