At an Internet Marketing conference the other day the spokesman continually referred to certain websites as Jimmy’s websites. Let me explain. He said there is always a teenager in every town or neighborhood that can make you a website for cheap or for free. And that pretty much is true. If you are just making a website for personal or family reasons and you don’t want visitors aside from your own friends and/or family then Jimmy can make you a website that suits your needs. It will certainly be an affordable website. But if you want much more visitors then you have to consider other alternatives. And since this post is about affordable website design I will show how to get the best website for your money.
If you want a personal website for free; by personal I mean a website where you can put personal information or family information and don’t care about traffic and don’t want Jimmy to do it for you and you don’t really care about the looks or design of it then you can create a free account at the many free website places out there. Here are some websites that will allow you to have something up fast. They will give you your down domain like www.mysite.blogger.com or www.mysite.wordpress.com. And they both have tutorials to help you get started fast. If you want more flexibility both of this sites will allow you to customize many things you will just need how to do things. And both allow you to use your own domain name if you choose to buy one.

Then you ca get a domain name from about $5.00 - $20.0 a year and get a hosting plan for about $5.00- $15.00 a month and you are good to get set. Then you get get a free template at places like http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/ and start putting your information in there with an html editor like http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/.
