newbie building website

[brannsiu]

The first thing is- I urgently need a website to display my products - No payment system is needed.
The second thing is- I don't know how to write a website
The third thing is - Weebly or Wix editor does not work for me, because their hosting are blocked or extremely slow in China.
The four thing is - I do not like Wordpress theme and their admin panel.

I have already purchased domain and hosting, everything ready

I'd like to know if there is something like Wordpress that comes with an admin panel to configure the site that should be simpler than Wordpress ?

No knowledge of the services and products per se but a bit of googling found a variety of options.

I too have found a lot googling about this subject and a lot of bs, I too am looking to build a website but I too am having a lot of problems doing so. I have tried several different options and I have come close to getting what I want but I just can not get everything right. I too am looking for help, so please anyone feel free to jump in and help us newbies out. I mean I have already spent hours doing this, get it just about right, but products will not connect to links, I loose my logo on the main page or home page, can not get shopping cart to work, can not get credit card system to work. Ect.. ect... ect..., so yes there are some people out here who would like or need some help. Fist would be help with building, help with setting up, and even help with choosing different host, web design, even credit card processing companies to handle transaction at the lowest price possible, lowest I found so far was mational something or another but they take 12 hours to post to my account, that is just too long of a time frame.

Web design is technical but also "art". And you will have trade-offs no matter what. I could code HTML in the day but I had a co-worker whose artistic talent saved the day more than once.... Her webpages were great looking.

Identify a few websites that work or appear to work as you envision your website working. Use those websites as a template or model. Learn from them.

Maybe there is a college or IT school nearby that can provide assistance via interns or senior level students needing a final project. Such programs are free and generally closely supervised. You can at least look into it and maybe off load some part of the work.

And as a small business you are on the bottom of the list when dealing with larger companies. Your suppliers will want you to pay first. Your larger accounts will want to pay you last. Meaning you need and want a payment system that gets your receivables to you as fast as possible. Even if doing so costs more.

And the security issues are becoming increasingly important to the business and to its customers.

As the owner you really should be looking at more strategic matters and delegate the tactical concerns regarding the website.

Yes, we can help "newbies" out but that tends to focus on specific problems - some segment of code that does not work, some link failure as you mentioned. Specific details are needed there: what is expected, what is or is not happening, what has been tried, etc..

Your situation needs to be addressed at a broader, more encompassing level.

Overall, I think you need to consider professional assistance - your requirements are far more complicated than I realized. Apologies....

First I thank you for your quick reply, and no I was using myself as an example. I know I am having problems and I will either workout my problems or ask for help on the areas I need help with. But the point of this guy asking for help was just that asking for help. So for instance this guy just wants a good site to design a website, many people here have used many of the different options to help them build a website, so maybe instead of someone googling website builder, maybe some one can say hey I used this and this worked for me, it was good because of this or that, not here is what I got when I Googled this problem. We should all be working together to help each other out when needed not messing around with people. I was looking for help at one point and all I got was a bunch of people trying to get me to pay them 2 to 5 thousand dollars to help me out. I will find an answer somewhere for that kind of money. And I know people make their living doing this and they need to make a living, but if I am trying to do this and I need help with something, please help with that, not here is what I got when I Googled it. I mean come on, people will always want someone to do it for them, but when someone is just looking to help, maybe help them. At one point it was you who was looking for help and someone helped you. Hay tell me what you read that helped you fix it or something, not BS....
