I'm looking at highlighting some professional work/portfolio, and my old college site will probably go down soon.

Any good places to do basic web design (I only know very basic HTML, and I don't feel like getting dreamweaver), and good web hosting services?

I'm leaning on the cheap end, but any input would be appreciated. I'm not too well-versed in this area.

TIA

eta: college site, actually is still good till 2015 but I'd like an alternative site as well.

Are you wanting a custom domain name? If so, most of the domain register companies offer hosting. I use namecheap for my domain registration and I have a site on webhostingpad that I paid for a long contract before finding namecheap. Not sure if I will move the hosting when the contract is up or not.

GoDaddy Site Builder

$1/mth and free domain name. Simple drag and drop interface. You can use html/css if you want to, but it's not at all necessary. For the price and usability, it's pretty hard to beat.

Most of the top we hosting companies will install wordpress on your site for no extra charge.

For someone like you, it might be ideal. You can google free wordpress themes and find a shite ton of themes you'd like. Wordpress is easy to maintain and update. There are even apps for your phone that enable you to edit on the fly.

shite, almost forgot about this thread

InVol, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check that out. DLauw, I've used WP for a blog back in the day, but haven't seen any thing on sites.

Good suggestions
