So I want to purchase a website, something nice, simple, professional that really sells my business. I would try to build it myself but all my free time is going to school. Is there a web design business that is extremely professional and somewhat cheap that does great web designs?

Search the forum here - I know there are several folks who do web sites. Did you already buy your domain name?

Not yet, but I know the one that I want to use and lucky for me no one is using it.

Where would I go and buy the domain name?

try www.godaddy.com. You should be able to purchase it there.

Great. I was thinking of that one since I have seen so many commercials.

May I offer a humble opinion about godaddy? I find it slow and difficult to use. Especially in terms of uploading my own html. I like netfirms.com, and have worked smoothly with other hosts, but godaddy doesn't cut it in my opinion. There are millions of other hosting companies, and I suggest giving one of them a try instead. As Lily said, there's a lot of info right here on the forums - just do a search for website hosting.

I have my domains registered through GoDaddy but I don't use their hosting. If you need webhosting, send me a PM and I can give you the information. You don't have to have your hosting and your domain through the same place.

If you do use GoDaddy, do a Google search for coupon codes. I've paid about $6 for all of mine using codes.

You can also try www.name.com which, I think, is owned by Google.

Anyway...you were asking about design, not hosting. Definitely search the forums. A lot of us do offer web design services, blog installation and customization, etc.

I will have to search for those coupons that is pretty sweet. Well I need both but I want to make sure that I find the right web site for my company (I am a little picky) but I will keep looking.
