Building a Website

[BlazersBlood]

Anybody build one?

I want to build one that I can promote my photography business on.

Where's the best place to go to and have them give me the tools to make a fly ass website?

You want to do it yourself?

If so, how much do you want to spend.

I use Bluehost.com. $4.00 a month (google "Bluehost.com" and "$3.95" and you'll find a discounted affiliate link, unlimited subdomains. Get a domain name + hosting, use Wordpress to build a webpage with a blog. voila.

They have themes just for photographers and they're free. You can upload them.

I would start a flickr account and then upload all your photos on there. From Flickr, you can directly upload onto the wordpress site from within Flickr itself.

I don't know how much I want to spend. What are my options? I've went to GoDaddy.com to check out there rates. I know a friend who has built a few websites from them but they were very bland & boring. They looked like something from 1998. I'd like to be able to have a blog & a few different sections for high res pictures. It would also be nice to be able to set up something online where I could take credit card payments as well.

Wordpress is great because it already had tools and plugins you can easily get for twitter integration, SEO, Google Analytics, etc.
