Come on guys ! surely someone knows someone doing websites ?

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.

Try WIX.com, I used them to create my own.  Has online  bookings and e payments.

Appreciate the respnse but those DIY like godaddy etc look awful and tacky to be honest. Not something to give a good impression to potential customers with.

 

Thanks anyway.

Mind sharing a link so I can see ? dont those have a wix prefix in the url ?

[Pilotman]

I'm happy with mine and its got a good professional feel about it. Works for me anyway. Take a look, you may be surprised.

www.wix.com

 

 

Yes it does but you then choose your own domain name and can get an email address on that domain.

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.

they can be as awful or tacky as you want them to be or very professional depending on how much work you want to do.

You dont need to keep the wix.com prefix, once the website is up you buy your own domain name.

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.

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!

appreciate your post, thanks.

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.

You could try the Chang Mai forum, i hear there are a lot of 'digital nomads' in the area. Worth a shot.
