Help establishing website

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Sorry, Alex. I've proved I'm no good at it, so I have no advice to offer. Huge Hugs.

It might be better to start off with a free website from Wordpress using one of their themes suitable for authors. Once you get comfortable with that you can grow from there. You don't need a designer as there are perfectly designed website templates for authors. Templatemonster.com comes to mind, but just do a search on Google for 'author website templates'. Good Luck! :)

Hosting services often provide web design services. Being a software developer, I've never used such services, but they may be an inexpensive way to get a site. Of course, you'll be paying for the hosting. I've been using 123ehost since the early 2000's and have hosted several sites through them, including some I built from scratch, some I built using Wordpress (including my current site) and some I built using Drupal (which I don't recommend unless you need something heavy duty; I used that for my publishing company's e-commerce sites). A lot of it depends on how much you want to spend.

Okay, I'm probably rambling. I'm a bit under the weather this evening. But feel free to pepper me with questions if you want.
