Has anyone ever used online web templates from companies? I've been looking at www.templatemonster.com . I'm just curious. They say you can customize them to meet your needs. It's just the legal issue of copyright that I'm worried about.
 
If you already own a domain and you want to create your own website, you might want to take a peek at wix.com. It's by far the easiest website creation tool I've found. Once you create the website you have them host it for $9.95 per month and they convert it by removing the little tags that appear saying "Free website created using wix" and so on.

You get your domain name redirected or it points to the website you created that is being hosted by wix. At that point from what I understand, you can have several domain names redirected or pointing to this website that you created.

Here is the website I made.
I don't have any domain names yet so the website isn't live. It's not quite finished yet since I need some content, but you'll get the idea. It's not the greatest, but it's not the worst I've ever seen either.

Here's another one that someone I know just created a few days ago.
 
Ron,

PM me and I'll pass along the name of someone who may be able to create a custom site for a reasonable amount.

Yes, I've used templatemonster before..........as long as you are using the template for you own needs and not producing and selling it to others, then you can customize it to your liking.
 
Guys,
Thanks you for all you suggestions. This is the information I was looking for. Now I have a better idea of what I need to do.

Here's the thing. I don't care what anyone says, "you want people to hire you as a professional DJ so why cheapen out on a cheap website. Hire a professional to do it for you".

I am cheap. I admit it. If I can do it myself I will. My site right now is basic and simple and most of the comments I've got from my clients are very positive. I think because I don't have a lot of junk on there. Just straight forward things.

This Monstertemplate.com has nice templates already made. You just change a few banners with your name, change a few links and your done. The prices range anywhere from $5-$85 and up. Or you can buy the site outright for hundreds to over $1000, depending on the makeup of the site.

I just wanted to know also that this Monstertemplate.com is a reputable company. I got bagged once thinking I was using an online web company, trying out one of their sites. Turned out to be a place in Russia.
