I wasn't sure what forum to put this under. How do you go about making a professional website as an author? I know you buy a domain name, but I'm clueless about the rest.
I certainly can't afford anything fancy right now. Even if I could, I want something basic until I get my sea legs in the writing world. For now, I can get the domain name so no one scoops it out from under me. I don't have the patience and dedication to do a blog on a regular basis, so that's out.
For those of you who have websites or web development backgrounds: what do you recommend? What's your favorite domain registrar? Web host? Did you pay for your website design and, if so, how much? Did you do it yourself or use a website builder? What's the most economical and professional way to go about this? Any tips or insights?
I've been obsessing about this the last couple of days, and I find all this internet stuff overwhelming. I half expect someone to bust into my house and slap the me to bring me back to my senses.
