sandrabbit Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 not my specialty but I've seen loads of adverts on tv which says it is so simple you can do it yourself through their website. Godaddy comes immediately to mind but one quick google search I found loads but try this comparison website. https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-choose-the-best-website-builder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotman Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Try WIX.com, I used them to create my own. Has online bookings and e payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something to give a good impression to potential customers with. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cobra Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 so wix.com will show me what you created ? and sorry I have to disagree as prefixed with wix.com is not at all professional in my opinion. Thank for your time, glad it suits your purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but perpetual Wix Ads and monthly billing or pay+ + etc are not for me. I dont want to get sucked in to that nonsense. I was looking for a build it and done type service.

Sean Rock Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Just my 2p (being a software engineer, not 'yet' residing in thailand FT), if you have a website you will have a monthly or annual hosting fee. Nothing is free. The only way you'll not pay that hosting fee is if you have a buddy willing to host the site under their existing account or on a VM (virtual machine), or you host it on your home pc. And if you go ecommerce you're going to want an SSL. Not expensive but still another expense plus the payment gateway fees (monthly or per transaction or both). If you want to get a site built on a low budget there are many online freelance sites (usually india, russia, poland). A web search will get you on the right path and some have a bidding system, that is, developers place a bid for your project. Quality can be an issue however. You can get a very attractive, mobile adaptive design for under 50USD https://wrapbootstrap.com/ There is a web agency in udon http://udon-web-design.com/ Good luck!

I have the domain and hosting etc sorted out. I wouldnt deal with India or other countries as from what I have seen they are awful, people playing with wordpress templates and filling in the blanks. That's why I stated I would prefer someone in Thailand that I can at least have a face to face or go visit if needed and not deal with remotely.

Sean Rock Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 You could try the Chang Mai forum, i hear there are a lot of 'digital nomads' in the area. Worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
