Okay so this is kind of petz related, and kind of not petz related, but I figured I'd put it here since it can be taken as a general question about a website. Anyhow! I really want to build a crew site! But I don't want to use webs.com, I don't like the way they look. (plus they're really annoying to edit) I have no idea how to make a layout, but could someone point me in the right direction as to a different web server I could use? I can figure out, or ask someone else to make a layout for me later XD, but first things first! Thanks to anyone who can help! =D

Webs isn't annoying to edit unless you use templates. Then it becomes insanely tedious. I used it for my crew site, then I used HTML to build a fairly simple one: Axtraxia so if you want something like that, I can help you out. Honestly though, Webs is a fine place to host and it's got quite a bit of space so if you have an HTML layout, it's pretty easy to use it. However, if you want a host, you can ask various Petz members: Tash @ Heart.nu or Breanna @ Sparkly Lion are two that I think are pretty common around here. You just need to know HTML, as usually they request that you know it, although some can help you out with layouts. Breanna, for example, can do a layout if you ask her to and they look awesome.

Hm okay, well I guess I'll give webs another try... Yeah I'm not sure how to do html, if there's a tutorial thing somewhere I could probably figure it out... -goes to google- but for now it's going to look pretty simple! XD. Thanks Artemis!

If you still don't like Webs, there's always wix.com. I have yet to find a limit of pages haha, it's more work but if you don't know how to make a layout it pays off ~Vanilla

Yeah I tried wix awhile ago! I love it too! Only thing is the site builder is EXTREMELY slow on my computer. So I went back to webs

If you're stuck on HTML, there are a LOT of tutorials online regarding it and it's not that hard. The layout for Axtraxia that I have is the simplest I've done, which is a table, but it looks quite nice. You get more complicated when you get into frames and stuff.
I learned from using sample layouts and basically deconstructing them myself to figure out how they worked and what you need.

Yes, unless you pay I believe it's a 20 page limit per website(unlimited websites though, I believe).

If you'd be willing to learn some HTML, I'd be happy to host you. (: I have more than enough bandwidth and disk space for unlimited pages on your site. ^^ My server is thecritterhouse.org, so your site would be www.thecritterhouse.org/yoursitenameAs far as helpful beginner sites, I highly recommend Lissa Explains -- she covers HTML, basic CSS, and has a LOT of information!

Is that 20 pages for the templates? Because I have 23 different HTML pages for my crew site, and each page actually has two parts to it so that's more like 46.

No problem at all! I feel like I should extend the offer to friends because I have so much space just sitting, waiting to be used. xD
If you need any help or have any questions on how to start, hit me up on AIM! ^___^
