    Hey All,

    I'm thinking about setting up my own webiste. I don't fancy paying a webdesigner.... something cheap and cheerful will do to start me off.

    I found this site: http://www.clickbooq.com/

    Just windering has anyone on here used this or any similar template sites?

    thanks

    Seems expensive to me.

    Try photium or clickpic.

    thats a bit pricy ok, could you not see if someone would make up one for you - student type or someone practising or something! then all youd pay for is the hosting
    I'd do it but i don't have time to weave my one one :)

    I had a look at some of there sample sites. They are slow at loading for me. You could create something similiar with wordpress or pixelpost and a photoblog theme and web hosting is very cheap these days. Would be pretty easy to set up as well.

    That's seems very expensive to me. If you wanted to give it a go yourself theirs free templates over at oswd. You could always do what a lot of other people do and use some external apps to bring your flickr images through to your site too.

    go to flashden.net or ohmyflash.com and find a nice template, buy it, download it and get someone who knows flash to sit down for 30 mins and adjust it for you.

    try Carbonmade.com for a portfolio site easy set up no html

    if you are going to try doing one yourself you could try just making a plain html site and pay for hosting or get a dot com domain name which are pretty cheap
    and use one of the content managment systems that come with the hosting

    personally I think paying $699/yr very expensive


    look at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ go down to portals and click one of the cmses and play around with them

    these come ready installed in you hosting package and it would be easy to get new themes for most of them on line.


    coveys suggestion of photonium might be a good choice as you get a free month to play around with it
