3 More Info
The Wall Street Journal article 3/3/2009 "How to Create a Successful Web Site
For Nothing (or Almost Nothing)" is a good overview article. This article mentions Weebly, Yola, and Microsoft Small Office.
The website "Free Web Hosting" rates many hosts. I cannot say how current or accurate this information is.
Some Free Website Hosts
There is more information about the 4 hosts that I am somewhat familiar with on the "Examples" page: Weebly, Yola, Blogger (Google), & Microsoft Office Live Small Business.
Here are a few additional names obtained from performing Google searches.

- Some of these may work with Windows-only (I personally use and recommend the Mac).

Additional Resources For Web Design
If you need to have a more sophisticated web page built, here are some local people that I am acquainted with via my volunteer activities:
- Williamsport - Kathy Kolb & Associates, KolbNetWorks.com. The elegant pages that KolbNetWorks produces are world-class 'works of art'; about as nice as any pages you can find on the entire internet. You can browse their rotating "examples gallery" in the center of their home page.
- Berwick - Andrew Hoke, Aaah! Graphics, contact using email link on BerwickRailfan.com
- Lewisburg - Clair Moyer - CeMoyerEnterprises.com (also LewisburgClub.com)
- Montoursville - Wain Schroeder, WainsWebs.com
- Williamsport - Bill Mahoney, WmService.com
These people I have no relationship with; their names are from the newspapers or yellow pages or Chamber of Commerce: AmerITgrads.com, ChiliTech.net, Compu-Gen.com, Impact-Ad.com, InfinityDesignStudios.com (Jersey Shore), IntradaTech.com .
