A website
I've been thinking for months now that I need a website on which to sell my knives. To date, the ranger forum seems to have become my own personal sales site and I never wanted that to happen. That's not to say I won't keep offering things to my friends here at a bit of a discount. But I think it's time to create a web presence.
So, here's the problem: I have no real cash to put into a pay site at the moment. So does anyone know of any good free web hosting sites? I'm looking at Yola, but I want to make certain I'm not making a wrong choice. If any of you have any good experience with free web hosting sites, let me know.

Re: A website
I was into website design a few years ago and played around with angelfire.com. I have no idea how it compares to other free web hosting sites, but it seemed pretty good at the time. Something to look into, anyway.

Re: A website
Let me look around for ya Eric.. I've been doing sites for years.. I do believe Angelfire is still a free site.. I know Yahoo took away Geocities free sites.

Re: A website
Thanks. Angelfire looks pretty good. I'll check into it a little more. Unfortunately, I don't have a high speed connections at the moment. I know that is going to work against me too.

Just computer illiterate like me.
But I do like the idea of you getting a website up...then I can point people to it and say "Buy from him!"

Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate and though I oft have passed them by a day will come at last when I shall take the hidden paths that run west of the moon, east of the sun.

Try Concrete5, it's the one I use. It's not completely free but still really cheap

Re: A website
I'll check into it. I think I'll start working on a site somewhere when I get home from work this afternoon. Maybe I can have a web address for you before the week is out.Dirhael wrote:Try Concrete5, it's the one I use. It's not completely free but still really cheap
No I done been messin' with computers for 20 years, since I was in the Army. It's past illiterate by now.E.MacKermak wrote:Just computer illiterate like me.

That's what I'm thinking too. FB has generated zero sales for me. If I had a site that I could draw people to, then maybe I could make some business. But then again, if I would send the drawing of a piece off to a potential customer here, then perhaps I could generate some business there too.

Re: A website
Just make sure you link your FB to your site.. like alot of sites do these days.. and have your site link easily found on your FB page.

Re: A website
Well, I guess Angelfire is out. In their terms and conditions, they prohibit the sale of weapons and anything dangerous. So, I can contact them and ask, or I can keep looking. I know that knifemakers sell on their own sites, so sites must allow it somewhere.

Re: A website
After consulting with another bladesmith that has his own site, I've decided that maybe for the time being - until I can contact someone willing to help me build a site - it would be better if I set up a blog.
So, what are some good blog sites and what should I know about them before I get started?
