Website builder

I want to make my own website to promote my new book coming out (i’m a writer) I’d like to keep the price to $20.00 or under a month…..I don’t want the domain to be like www.freewebs.domainname.com I want it to be www.(whatevernameyouwant).com With good templates, and etc. etc. Also, when someone looks you up on some place like google then you’re going to come up as a result….thanks!

I am looking to make a free site. I don’t really likes freewebs and google doesn’t have the name I want.

Does any one know of a website creator that’s free,easy,fast,and professional. I know its hard to answer but If you know any places please tell me. For the record I already tried Google. =]

Ok, I got laid off from teaching after 4 years. I have a lot of new products and my brother does western pencil art drawings. I’ve been to several sites like sitebuilder.com and webs.com, but if I design the website with my own domain name, and someone googles wester art, or whatever they are looking for like gifts, country gifts, inspirational gifts, things like that (I have a lot of that stuff to sell) will google show my website if I use webs.com or sitebuilder?
I just want to make 2 websites, 1 with my things with pictures, a checkout, and use paypal with my site. What is the best and cheapest? Being as its almost christmas, 2 children, unemployeed but very creative.

I use tripd.lycos for a couple, but apparently tripod has a deal with google, and tripod already makes money off my site.

Which is a site I can build for free.. (Its just a personal site, no selling or anything, but I will want to publish and get it out there) and promote it and be allowed to use ADSENSE or similar things?

I want to start posting a blog and adding google ads. I am not very tech savvy. Can anyone recommend a good website that will allow adsense? Thank you

I want to create a few websites with good content so I can try to post google adsense on them for extra cash.What software really works without any scams or gimmicks?

Or will programming always have its place on the web? I’m not sure if it’s a good path to take in the long run .
Have any idea of the language I should try (php, .net, ruby?)
Thanks for your answer!

I’ve decided that i want to get a domain name and put my website from page creator on there. Is it possible to do that without re-doing the whole website?

U used to use page creator but now that it switched to google sites I can’t pit adsense in anymore. I need a free sitebuilder that allows me to put google adsense on the site.
Thanks for the blogger idea, but I am trying to create a site more in the fashion of googlesites. Are there any others you know of, although blogger may be my answer.
