I have used Homestead www.homestead.com for approximately 10 years now.  I didn't know what I was doing when I started, but their software, which you download, is easy to use.  They also have tutorials to help you learn.  I pay $24.99/month, but they have programs that cost less.  Depends on what you are trying to do.  The monthly fee covers all your expenses.  I highly recommend Homestead.  We have our own website and the farmers market website with Homestead.

Regards to the list,

Many of you have very well done websites, and I'm envious of you who
have indicated that you did the work yourself. Are any of you willing
to share with the list who/what you used to design it, and if you did
the work yourself, advice for the rest of us? Who do you use to host the
site and what kind of fees are you paying? Who did you register domain
names with and for what kind of fees?

Speaking for our farm, because we didn't feel competent to do a site on
our own, paid a small fortune to have an e-commerce site designed. It
was never what we hoped, did not generate sales, and was cumbersome to
work with. Then after 4 years, the firm we worked with raised the
hosting fees higher than we are willing to pay, so we are parting ways.
Although I handled none of this until now, I am the chosen on to do it
and starting over from scratch, so I'd appreciate the advice. I know
just enough about it to be dangerous. I'm much better at shopping on
other sites...LOL.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to take the time to share,
