Websites
Setting up a website used to be complex, time- consuming and expensive. Not any more. You don't have to be a programming tech-head to launch a successful site. Most interestingly, for the cash-strapped artist, you can now do it for free!
Take a look at some of the website services listed here. All of them offer a basic free service with online layout and editing. You don't have to buy any specialist software or arrange storage space to hold your site - it is all built in. Because all of these providers include the facility to lay out and edit your site via any web browser, you can update your site from any computer, anywhere.
Previously these free sites included distracting and inappropriate advertising, which competed with your site for attention. The income they received from the advertisers allowed them to offer the service to you without charge.
Things have changed over the past few years and now the adverts are gone. You really do get a free service with, in most cases, a small credit to the company who gives you the service. They naturally hope that you like what they offer and pay to upgrade to a professional, larger or more advanced package.
