Hello all,

I'm zero with computers, and was wondering if any of you, maybe also ill at ease with these machines and technologies, had nevertheless tried to create his/hers little and simple website?

Free? Not expensive? Easy? With what site? With which programs? Photoshop?

Any advice welcome.

Wordpress.com, medium.com & weebly.com are fairly good. You might also want to purchase a domain & see about getting it optimised for searches.

As Steve says, you need to define what you're trying to achieve first, before you can make a decision.
Are you sharing pictures? Advertising your services? Writing a blog?

You can go from one extreme (maintain your own website yourself, maybe learning HTML as you go) to the other (pay someone $ to make the changes you need).

If you want free, then obviously you won't get much and you'll have to work on it yourself.

Have a look at this. If after 30 minutes, it doesn't make any sense, you're probably not ready to maintain your own site! - unless you download tools that make it easier for you.

Let's think about thecurerecords.com. Just a long list of small picture, and when you clic on it, it opens a new window with bigger image. That's all.

That should be fairly easy to do, if you are willing to learn some basic HTML.

So first you need to choose where your website will be hosted, as that is where your HTML files and images will live.

Then you need to think about how you're going to create and maintain the HTML pages:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML_editors

Then you need to learn the basics e.g.

There's a million HTML tutorials so you should be able to google everything you need.

Edit: This is how I would do it but only because this is how I did it in the 90's. There will be easier ways, but I don't know how free they will be.
