    Default Opinions on building a website needed

    Hello again ladies,

    So my buddy recently told me about wix.com, where I happened to fall in love with a template almost immediately. The problem is that I've already purchased a year's membership on GoDaddy, along with a domain name (though I have yet to figure out how the fack to use WordPress). Can anyone tell me what they used and why? As in, are there perks using the host you use, or if you prefer what you use to something else, etc. I can still cancel my account and get most of the money back, then go to wix and build my site there instead, but if anyone has an opinion and/or expertise on building a website I would greatly appreciate the help!!

    ~Bianca

    I feel like wix is a bit of a scam, its way cheaper to host your own site. Most of their templates can be recreated in WP for free.

    Godaddy has customer service and they will walk you through installation. If you get an asshole on the phone hangup and call back. They will even send you a how to email. Wordpress is supper easy. May not seem like it but it is. Not sure what sort of look you are going for but imo WIX can look cheap and cheesy with all the flash scripts. And know that flash sites can be hard on mobile devices. Pages may take longer to load.

    Thank you ladies!! You can find the finished product at biancabliss.com! I'm super proud of it. PhatGirl, you're so right about GoDaddy--the customer service really helped, even when my questions were stupid. Blasian, I'm not tech savvy enough to have created the template on wix that I loved, but I think the template I used with WordPress is just as good, if not better. I did save money, so thank you again for your input!

    hostgator is awesome also - just a thought - you might ad a deposit requirement for the 8 & 12 hour calls

    Thank you; I didn't even think about that! I guess I'll have to look into the best way to do that. Maybe Green Dot or AMEX cards? Hmmm...

    Looks fabulous. I had wondered if you could do anything pertaining to adult content on Go Daddy.

    Ooh, I'll have to bookmark that site! Mine is already up and running, but I might not stay with what I have forever. I took a look at your blog and I'm hooked already, btw.

    @ Sophie: You know, I was worried at first, too, but I read through the fine print and it doesn't say you can't have adult content. It's really just don't do anything illegal. So as long as I don't put a "menu" up or anything, I'm pretty sure I'm fine.
