Simple Easy Website?

[RexxGrim]

Need to make an simply, easy website.

Basically just a landing page with some information. Cheapest place to host? Webdesign software? Templates? Will be done from a Windows PC.

If someone can point me in the right direction it would be great.

Thanks

Or create a repository for git.io and push and index.html page to it

I've got a website that compares the pricing of South African hosting providers. It gets updated every two months:
http://hostingweb.co.za

Then I'd probably go with WordPress as it is easy to use and there are tons of themes that you can either get for free or pay for a premium theme.

I remember this.

Until you find out about another vulnerability in Wordpress and have to upgrade you entire site every few months.

If you just need a single page the hastles of a major framework far outweigh the benefits imo.

I'd go with Notepad++ and paint.net.

You can set wordpress to update automatically.

nah, wordpress is lightweight enough of a framework with many professional themes. It will take you days/months to create an equivalent site manualy that will look good across all browsers/devices.

It's not like you pay extra for a mysql db and php, so why not use it?

Hey, thanks you two!

Got the domain. Install wp. Looking through the themes. They all seem to be for blogs. Need a theme that's more just a landing page with info.

Contact details and upcoming events and such.

Have a look through these:

Most of them should be customizable. There are millions of themes for Wordpress though and I'm sure you'll eventually find what you are looking for.
