Hello, I need to run a website for our school club. I don't want to start with paid webhosting, because I am not really good at creating websites, so don't expect to be the best job from theb eginning. Which Free Webhosting site would you recommend, and what are the terms if you decide to switch to paid after while??Second...which program would you recommend me to create a website as to a beginner (not complete...i had run a quite good looking, but FrontPage :X, website some while ago...)...something at lest kind of 'decent', so it can represent the club, not embarras it....thanx

Hi!I am a web developer and designer, and think I can help you.There are many free web hosts out there, but a lot of them remain free by asking you to include some adverts on their site - this could be a banner at the top, or a popup advert.Here is a host that offers a free service: http://www.20m.comand many others can be read about here:http://www.100best-free-web-space.comI wouldn't recommend using a free web host though, but instead a low-cost one. This is because they are much more reliable.The best thing is to visit that site and read about what they offer.As for your second question, there are two options.1. is to create the site from scratch which to be honest will mean you taking time out to learn how to design sites. I recommend Dreamweaver - www.dreamweaver.com2. Instead of designing the site, use freely available templates.There are many out there and they are great looking too. check this out:www.oswd.org - open source web designOnce you download a design you like, just open it up in dreamweaver, frontpage, or even a text editor like Notepad, then edit everything to your needs!Good luck!
