Does anyone know how to make websites?

[Brodie]

I think I need one, I have started a small business making mini terrariums, but I need a website to help me sell them. But I would have no idea how to do that haha. Thanks

I've tried making one, but it costed like 30 dollars a month so i said NOPE.
Hopefully someone knows how to, I really like plants and terrariums!

Have you considered selling on a site like Etsy? They do take a listing fee (small) and percentage of sale price BUT you get a whole lot more traffic and potential buyers through a big name site vs a independent start up.

I actually looked into this last year when I started working from home, and found running etsy and ebay stores was easier and brought in more sales than my own website. They were easy to set up too I make *almost* what I did on my full time job buying up, refinishing then reselling things on ebay. Haven't really had the time to focus on the creative sewing I would like to do on Etsy, but terrariums sound like they would fit right in with the type of shoppers there I look forward to seeing some pictures of them!

I use squarespace for mine, but it does cost money. I am not tech savvy at all though, so having them really helps.

I have them on eBay and gumtree, but I'm not really getting any views. I'm not really sure how to advertise and get them out there! Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

craigslist maybe?

We don't have craigslist in Australia I don't think

That's a good idea! I can see that these websites have much more traffic than going the independent route. Even if they charge a small fee, I'm sure it's cheaper than paying a company monthly for hosting your website and search engine visibility.

So you can't actually make a website and not pay anything for it?

I don't claim to know much about computers, but I do know this... A web site has to be "hosted" somewhere on a server to make it visible on the internet.

Ah right, I had no idea haha. I guess I'll have to pay something lol
