Website construction

Tink · 07-22-2007, 04:39 PM

Since many of you have websites for your Doodle businesses, I was wondering if any have a bit of advice as to where is the best place to go for this. I've built my own personal and hobby sites in the past, but not a business one, and not one I'd be updating and continuing to update like this would be.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tink, the webmaster of this site, Mark, helped me with mine. You might contact him and see what he can do for you

I just sent an email, referring you to a couple places...

I lucked out and ran into a friend who has a web building business and is willing to help me for a reduced rate. Can't ask for better than that!

So I've just bought my domain name and hosting, and plan to have a site up in the next couple weeks. Considering the pups aren't due for almost 3 weeks yet, we should have plenty of time to get things together and for me to learn how to manipulate things the way I want them.

GOOD FOR YOU!!
Way to go on being so ready......and I do recommend looking for ad sites that list breeders by state, to start with, so local people can find you.

make sense?

You are on a roll!

Update:
My site's 3/4 done, just some tweaking to do and a few last minute decisions to make.

I ended up buying my domain name at midphase and hosting at GoDaddy since my web master advised it's best to have 2 different sources to prevent problems down the road.

On her advice I will also have a blog on my site to use for updates. I will be able to posts things about the dogs, pups, and whatever there to keep a detailed record for myself and prospective buyers to refer to.

I'm struggling to relearn how to do a site, so Susies help has been invaluable to me. It's also great to have her to fall back on if I encounter problems later.

So anyway, I'm soon going to have a site up and this is the route I took to accomplish it.
