Need WordPress/website advice, please
Thanks for taking a minute. I'm a novice.
I used to run a website (Sketchcards.org) using Frontpage. A few years back, I gave up because Frontpage was outdated & GoDaddy stopped supporting the extensions. I want to start a new website (for my collection). I do NOT need 'fancy' -- but i do need it to have easy Gallery options. I plan to scan/show 5000 cards. Right now I'm thinking of just buying a Domain name from GoDaddy; Using their free Hosting; getting WordPress, and seeing how it looks before sinking monthly fees into this project. So my questions are: (#1.) How bad is GoDaddy's free Hosting? Don't the add a banner that says 'Hosted by GoDaddy'? Does anyone have an example site? (#2.) Is WordPress the best; or do i need a website-building software package? Do they have easy photo Gallery options? Can anyone show me an example site? Any & all help appreciated. I haven't done this since 2007; and i KNOW technology has come a long way. |

Oh; and P.S.
I found a good .com name, that also has the Twitter & Instagram available; but it's 14 characters long. Is that TOO long? |

Wordpress is the best, I wouldn't use go daddy's free hosting in fact I wouldn't use free hosting at all.
Hostmonster has awesome deals, pretty sure it's only like $4/month which is very affordable. You could always host on your home computer as well it's pretty easy. 14 characters is way too long unless it's a memorable phrase that rolls off the tongue well.
