There are many sites out there telling you about these services, how good they are, etc.

The thing I will say is reviews. Whatever you choose to use look up what people say about it.

For example wix is supposed to be a market leader for this purpose, however lets take a look at what people think:

I am not saying wix is bad, however reading trustpilot, I wouldn’t personally use them.
The other key part is read the reviews to make sure they are legitimate. This goes both ways. People do pay others for good reviews.
A good example of fake reviews is a company who I have used who are good.

When you read the bad reviews it is clearly the same person doing many bad reviews to bring their rating down. If you really want the detail read their post around the whole incident.

The next part is features. Does the website host / builder offer the options you need? e.g does it support a shop? does it have modules you can use to do different things.

Personally I use WordPress as you can add what are known as plugins to pretty much do anything. However it can be quite daunting to set up and maintain. I will do some more articles around WordPress and try and make it easy for people.

I have been going to many fairs, events, shows, etc and am amazed by the range and quality of work that trader put in. I however have no such skills, but am aware of a lot of people out there who get scammed or conned by so called experts who charge for people to get a web or social presence. This really annoys me as for traders their business is their life in most cases and every penny is precious.

Thus RGD Hosting, here i will post guides and information available to all. There is also a contact section if you require any specific advice or guidance.

Lastly I do offer cheap web hosting. This is not a pitch but anyone who is interested please do contact me. To put it into context I run a hosting service as I host websites for friends and family including my own websites and other services such as email.

Please can I also ask you to check out my other site The RGD Event List https://thergdeventlist.com. This is another free service I run in relation to promoting unique and different events. I have found over the last 10 years that it can be quite hard to find out about these events, even with google, and as such created a website specifically with this in mind.
