How to Build a Web Site

For your church's website, you would probably first want to buy a domain name (like saintpauls.org, unfortunately this one is taken). There are plenty of sites where you can register one for a year for as low as $3.99 or cheaper. Then, you'll need someone to host your site. For a small site, like mine, I use a virtual host, which means that I don't have a computer server all to myself, I share it with other domains. Again, there are lots of places that will do this, with a website and email, for as low as $3.95/month. It doesn't have to be the same place, but they usually package them so that you get a free domain if you host your site with them for a year, or something like that.

Then you have to put the site together. I've been using Microsoft Word, which is what I'm most familiar with, but you should use something like FrontPage. Having a graphical interface, instead of trying to write the HTML code, is much easier.
