What sort of website do you want?
If it's something that requires loads of space for media, then the applications can star to be a little more expensive but you should try something like http://www.wix.com if you only need a simple one. Most of theirs are free if you follow the terms and conditions.

You may be better having a look around first and then asking someone who knows what they're on about afterwards

This is giving me a headache already:banghead:

Domain name short listed to 3, hopefully will be able to speak to Alan today so i can tick that box.

It will be used for pictures, videos and general event reports with links to sponsors and friends sites. Also a contact point where people can contact us but don't really want people leaving messages on the site. No idea what a Blog is. I really need to take a day off work to sort this out. Oh well, i'm sure i'll get it sorted soon enough.
