gite website

[bisdu]

We have a gite, recently renovated, and are in two minds about letting it partly because I don't want it to cost an arm and a leg to advertise.

I have thought about building a website myself but have no idea how to go about it. I understand there are online templates you can use and would be grateful for any advice on one that is simple to use, (if there are any) as I have fairly limited computer knowledge.
Also, do I have to pay someone to host it or can i do that myself?

Any advice or alternative suggestions would be welcome.

Dear bisdu

I am the most technically incompetent member of this , or any forum...

But I know of www.webs.com. (the address you may have to type in)...

It's free hosting. It's free. That's all I know.....

If you're relying on your web site to bring in guests then you really will need more than just a presence on the web, there is a huge amount of coding that goes behind any web site to draw in visitors. Equally if the web site is back-up for other advertising, ie, your clients find you elsewhere and learn more by being sent to your web site then the web pages must be up to scratch. Have sent you a PM Bis.

I offer free classified sales and rental ads on my website and at the moment 10€ for 12 months in the main section with 6 photos.

There are some high profile sites for lettings, which do cost quite a lot per year but get good results and others that take a percentage of the booking fee.

If you search for free websites there are plenty about with free hosting, or you could try Blogger and create a free blog.

Like has been said your own site will not create a lot of traffic, but it is a good place to link any advertising to. You can also add a lot more info about the area etc.
