I use http://www.12wonderwebservices.com/ , $4.95/month, and could have an
online store using PayPal for that price. And they give free hosting for our
farmers market (they offer free basic hosting to nonprofits). I get a real
person when I have a problem. But, for someone starting out, I suggest
Wordpress or Blogger.

I think $30/month is way high.

Hi Barb,

Can you send the url to your website? It would help me, at least, give you a
better opinion. Do you have a custom design? Is it maintained for you? Do
you have an e-store? The short answer is that for a basic website without
e-commerce and no mailing list maintenance, $360/year seems high to me.
Other questions to ask are, how many people find you via a website versus
say a local harvest listing? Are you getting a good return on investment of
marketing money (which is all a website is, if you think about it) from your
website?
