Creating Websites

[missteetiny]

Hi Ladies,

Right now I have a web designer that does my website for me. i always have to wait for simple changes to be done. I have no idea what he does but I'm thinking about revamping my website and also maybe switching it to another server so i have more control. Even though I'm a graphic designer, I don't have any web design experience. I also don't want my website to look thrown together or pretend that I know what I'm doing!

I am wondering, do you create your on websites by using something like Yahoo stores or eBay? Or do you have a web designer?

Please Help!

I currently use Yahoo and it is ridiculously expensive. I just joined, so I don't know what you sell, but Yahoo is $100/mo. plus 1% of your sales. And, the while you have a lot of control over how your site looks and where things are placed, it's extremely time consuming to update things. I've hired a web designer to design a site with Merchant Moms. I'm in the process of uploading my catalog to make the switch. I can't wait. But, I have yet to discover the limitations I'm in for.

I was looking into a Yahoo site, but then I was thinking about starting a eBay store. So how time consuming did it get? So I guess the biggest benefits were that you could control the site?

I have a website, which I want to revamp, so I thought a yahoo site would be more convenient for me to get it to where I wanted it to be. Is it limiting?

Thanks!

I have a web designer run into the same issues, but honestly, it saves a lotof $$ in the long run. I pay $350 for yearly maintenance & when 20 glitches happen at once, all I have to do is shoot an email.
