I need someone to make me a website please!!

Still boffles my mind how people can't use fantastico to install wordpress of a ecommerce base.

For a real budget do most of it yourself and get a nice looking theme and only hire if you need custom coding done.

I do not know Anything about websites / coding / or stuff like that. It will take me months to learn and by that time it will be to late. It;s like me telling you to plan the perfect tour to a country you don't know, it sounds easy but there are so many things involved you would not know where to start. So let your mind be boffled, not all of us are blessed with IT skills. Thanks.
 
Some people actually tried to give Nicci professional advice, for her own good but she insisted to have a website done for free. And while she can get a free website, by all means, it may cause much more harm to her business and marketing budget than she can imagine. There's a good reason why decent websites {cars / houses / clothes / etc} cost money. If Nicci is serious about this, she should budget to have a decent website built.

The DIY options like Wooza or Yola is there for this very reason: People who can't afford a professional todo the job properly, can do it themselves.

If you look through the responses you'll see that she was given 3 options:
1. DIY
2. Get it done very very cheap
3. Get it done professionally.

If I had to do it myself it would look anything BUT professional, and it would indeed cause harm. I did NOT want it for free - I said I will pay once I sold the puppies. I would have signed a contract. So please do not twist my words that I want it for FREE.

Actually it's like asking someone to make a cake, using cake mix, and following the instructions

True, but I must supply the mix and ingredients and make the cake, then give it away for free?

OP doesn't want to learn but rather have someone do it for free without even making an effort. You may find someone willing but even a little incentive and you can have all up and running easily ;)
 
I taught myself to make websites and anything you need done you can look up how to do. With Wordpress themes, you can make the website look simple and professional easily.
 
Hello TheGene. Thank you very much for your offer to help! I appreciate it a lot. I got a lot of advice to do it myself, but I have NO idea where to start, I don't even understand the settings they have sent me :( Wordpress also won't work for my needs, as it is not as functional for what I need, so I have gone another route.

What functionality does Wordpress not have that you need?

But you said you won't be making a profit, so what will you be using to pay the person who makes your website?

Oh my god!! Do you think that is what it is about!?!?!? Its NOT about the money!!! It is about creating awareness of a breed of dog I love!!! To improve the dog bloodlines in South Africa, and to make these dogs more common. Its not about the money!!! If you count all the stuff I have to do in order to have puppies - I won't make ANY profit!! Money is the furthest thing on my mind :(

Yes, because I will pay the person some money hence no profit!! The money I make from the puppies, will make me my money back I spent on getting them to SA + decent wendyhouse kennel, plus all quarantine expenses plus all medical bills plus website reimbursement. Hence, no profit.

Are you giving the next batch away for free (unless they only give birth once in a lifetime, then no profit).
 
The puppies will only be born 2014. The puppies I am importing is only 3 months old, and Lola is 8 months so only next year will I have my first litter. I will only breed when Lola has had her 3rd heat and when she is 18months old. I have not started breeding yet and do not plan to run a puppy mill. I will make no profit from my first litter, and the money I will get from a second litter will go towards importing another quality dog, so, as you can see I am not doing it for the money, but to enhance the breed standard in SA.
 
Wordpress my dear.

It can be professional and cheap and you can do it all yourself.
 
lol.... nicci NP, if you get stuck at all you know where to reach me, so just file that for future reference, and the BEST of luck with your project, DO keep us up to date with the dogs' progress please.
 
Out of interest, what would it cost to have someone design a basic website? Just product descriptions, pictures and contacts? No payment facilities just yet.

I am also looking to create one, but I am employed full time so I really don't have time.

They're so cute I just want to roll them up in vinegared rice and seaweed and dip them in soy sauce.
