My boss said that I have to have a website for his church made by 5:00 p.m. today!?

Question

I have never went to school for website building or design. I know just enough to get by such as how to make a myspace page. He said he wants it to be www.churchsname.org. What do I do??? I don't know where to start or what to do. He said he will not spend any money and he seems to think things like this are simple and can be done in a second. Does anyone know a free website where I can make the church its own website?? or what do I do??

Answer 1

if you have a Mac and a .Mac account, you can use iWeb. It's extremely simple with Apples premade templates.

otherwise, you can use geocities. i don't know of a website that you can "completely name" your site that's free..

Answer 2

first you're going to have buy the domain name that you want.  It's not free.  So boss' requirement # 1 is simply not going to happen.

Then you'll have to find a hosting website (like godaddy.com) where your website will be stored.  That's not free either.

Then you'll have to design the website.  Unless you're some kind of whiz kid with HTML commands, you'll have to buy a program that let's you design it and then it creates the HTML code for you (that you'll then upload to your hosting provider).  

Then on top of all that, you'll actually have to design it.  And do all this by 5pm.  

Basically...not going to happen by 5pm.  

I would guess that some church member is probably more familiar with web design that you are.  Tell your boss to ask the church to ask their members for a volunteer to make the church's website.  And tell your boss to get a freakin' clue on how things work...you can't just c**p out a website in a few hours (at least not a decent one that extols the virtues of God and His faithful followers) :-)))))) LOL
