How can I make a website, or how can I find out how much it would cost to make a website?

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today. As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. They are a Multi-awarded Web Hosting which offer a Full-featured service only $6.95.

Try Blink Web or Wix, their easy to manage free website (or blog) has cool features that include drag and drop capability, switch designs on the fly, youtube and google video, custom html, upload images, flikr photo gallery, visitor stats and more. You can also buy a new domain instantly, or host your existing domain for free and make it your own (www.yourown.com) If your looking for something more advanced but still user friendly then try XsitePro, Sitebuilder Designs or Calvary Studios, they have everything you need in building your own website: domain name registration or domain transfer, web hosting, web builder, site maintenance and email accounts. Everything is laid out in an easy to follow step by step instruction. Some of the features included enable you to add your own themes, videos, images or mp3 music making your site unique to you. Pricing is comparable and affordable too. I hope that I was of some help and answered your question.

Since you only need your site for a few months at most, you should look into Office Live Small Business from Microsoft. You can get a free .com domain, host your site on their servers, and use their templates to build your site. You can even add applications like a checkout cart that people *could* use to buy your clothes. With each site also comes matching email addresses- couturby@(your mock company name).com. All of this is free for the first year. Cheers, Jeff MSFT Office Live Outreach

Try to google web hosting sites. You'll see sites like GoDaddy.com, Dreamhost.com, etc. You need to pay for a domain and a host. And most of the web hosting sites now offer an easy-setup function where you can create your website without having any skills about html and stuff. WYSIWYG mode. [What you see is what you get.]

justhost.com is selling domains for as little as $5.00/mo pretty cheap for unlimited everything, but depending on what you want to do, I would suggest you check their TOS
