No, but if I start my own business I would seriously consider it.  I seems an 
inexpensive option.

Re: An accessible place to create my Website

2018-08-27 Thread Jonathan Cohn
Then probably your best bet is to use a WordPress or Drooble environment. Is 
the web site mainly going to be content, or are you wanting to sell items or 
schedule events? 

So in general the first step is consider all the features you would like the 
page to do, and then you can start considering candidates. If you are just 
putting out a place people can find out about your business and maybe download 
samples of some content, then you can probably get away with just a linux 
server and some basic HTML though it will not look as nice as some sites unless 
you can get a designer to manipulate CSS for you.

For that matter, I recently heard of a place that had the name coffee in it 
that was supposed to be a way for people to contribute to artists. I expect 
such a site will essentially be free, though you won’t have a personal domain 
and the site itself would take a percentage of your money.

Take care,

Jonathan Cohn

RE: An accessible place to create my Website

2018-08-26 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Ramy,

You are most welcome.  

You've gotten some good advice on this thread.  For example, I took a look at 
Sharons' suggested website hosting company and, at first glance, it might be 
what you need.  The site she posted was 
http://www.siterightnow.com.

You say you simply want a website so that you can showcase your portfolio.  May 
I assume, then, that you have some vision?  If this is the case, then you will 
have more options as some web hosting solutions do not play well with screen 
readers.  

Regardless of how you proceed, the first and most important step is to register 
a domain name.  I cannot stress the importance of this, enough.  If you want to 
be taken seriously, on the web, you must have your own domain name.  For 
example, I own about 22 domain names; many of which I am not currently using 
but which I may use, at some point in the future.  Two more points on this:  
(1) register your domain name for at least 2 years.  (2) and this is important, 
be certain to pay the little extra fee for private registration for those first 
2 years.  You will not need to renew the private registration when it expires 
but you definitely need to use it when first reserving a name.  Trust me on 
this.  

As for the web hosting, itself, since your needs appear to be minimal, you 
might consider a free solution such as www.wordpress.com.  This site, which is 
actually owned by WordPress, allows one to setup a web site for free, provided 
the user agrees to allow ads to be displayed.  It's not a solution I would use 
but ...

Otherwise, you can do what another list member suggested and search for sites 
that cater to those wishing to showcase their portfolios.  

If all else fails, I do trust both TigerTech.comand Web.com as good hosting 
companies but I cannot speak as to how competitive their rates are, these days. 
 

As you conduct your own research, you'll develop a feel for what kind of price 
point and feature set will work best for you.  I strongly suggest that you only 
consider web hosting companies that offer 24-hour a day free telephone 
technical support.

Mark

RE: An accessible place to create my Website

2018-08-26 Thread M. Taylor
Ryan, 

You ask a very good question.  I suggest using a separate domain registrar 
because this makes it much easier, down the road, should one choose to change 
hosting companies.  When one registrars a domain name with Network Solutions, 
one can be certain that no one else has the rights to that domain name.  

I have seen scenarios where one uses an inclusive domain name registration 
package only to discover that the hosting company holds the rights to the name 
and if one wants to keep using it, she/he must stay with that particular 
hosting company.  It is always best to keep certain aspects of website 
ownership and management as separate as possible from other aspects.  

There are other top-level registrars available, such as Go Daddy, but the only 
one I trust and have been using for the past 20 years is Network Solutions.

This is good advice.  I’m just wondering why he should use Network Solutions 
for the domain?  Most web hosting companies such as Green Geeks or Dream Host 
include 1 domain in their web hosting plans.  Why not just use that since he 
will need to pay for web hosting any way?

Re: An accessible place to create my Website

2018-08-26 Thread Des Delgadillo
Hey there,

I think WordPress is the solution you're looking for here. If you plan for
your website to just be a static portfolio, meaning you won't be updating
it on a consistent basis, WP would have quite a few templates that would
suit your needs.

If WordPress and all its features are too intimidating, there are numerous
portfolio creators on the web where you just enter your desired info and it
makes a generic albeit well-presented page.

Hi Mark:
thanks so much  for your suggestions, However all i need is a good Portfolio 
For my Studio that can contain a breef about it, and our social network links, 
all these things are to be able to use the google adsens.
so, do you have a good recommendation for that?

Re: An accessible place to create my Website

This is good advice.  I’m just wondering why he should use Network Solutions 
for the domain?  Most web hosting companies such as Green Geeks or Dream Host 
include 1 domain in their web hosting plans.  Why not just use that since he 
will need to pay for web hosting any way?

RE: An accessible place to create my Website

2018-08-25 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Ramy,

Like so many things on the web, website creation is a highly personal affair.  

I have no idea as to how you want your website to look or to function; nor do I 
know how much backend knowledge you already possess.  

Having said this, were I you, I would consider using WordPress as my website 
platform on a hosted sight.  A lot of people think of WordPress as a blogging 
tool but it also makes a fabulous dynamic website interface, as well.

Here are the three broad strokes you may consider following:

1.
Reserve a domain name.  If you have already done this, great.  If not, then I 
suggest that you use Network Solutions as your domain registrar.  Do not use 
them for anything other than domain registration as their rates tend to be a 
bit higher than other web hosting companies.

2.
Find a company to host your website.  Depending on your needs you can get web 
hosting for as little as $6 a month or as high as $70 per month.  Compare 
various companies such as web.com, tigertech.com, etc.  

3.
Either create or install a website interface.  All of the major web hosting 
companies will offer software, at no charge, to install on your account/site.  
In many cases, this is done by clicking a series of buttons and answering 
several general questions.  This is where you will install WordPress, should 
you wish to do so.  Don't worry, if you don't like it, you can always uninstall 
it.

Finally, be certain to take your time in determining what path you will follow 
because once you invest time and money into your decision, it can be quite 
challenging in switching, down the road.  

Good luck,

Mark

Re: An accessible place to create my Website

2018-08-25 Thread 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries
If you're comfortable setting up a Linux system, you can buy a virtual machine 
from a provider such as linode.com, install Apache or Nginx, and use your 
preferred text editor to write the HTML for your web site directly. There are 
also tools that can generate the HTML for you from Markdown or similar formats 
that may be easier to edit.

If you don't know how to configure a Linux system and how to use the command 
line, and if you're not in a position to read a book or two, experiment, and 
learn it - then there may still be accessible solutions around, but I'm not the 
right person to advise on those.
