	First of all I apologise if this is not the right place to ask this question! I want to set up a very simple website for the classic car meet ( www.facebook.com/waltonbridgebreakfastclub ) I organise so I can describe the event a tad, put a calender on there and also a page with some pictures of each event... Very simple stuff indeed I imagine?! Can any of you fine people recommend a company that I should look towards to try and set something like this up? It needs to be easy to use, ruddy cheap(!) and it also needs to look good...!!! Thanks to you all in advance for your help and advice...

	I've used 1and1 for years, cheap reasonably reliable. How it looks is up to you although they do have a site builder (that I haven't used). Alternatively set up a wordpress blog, free and would probably suit what you're doing.

	I use shopperpress and WordPress to run a web shop, its easy enough once you get your head around it but PayPal integration is a bit hit and miss.

	Go for a free one if you only need a simple website, I have done many over the last few years, I have one with www.weebly.com/?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=footer&utm_campaign=3 at the moment.

	The better half has recently been building her new website with some success using www.squarespace.com Which was recommended to us by a professional web designer friend.
