Here are our personal favorites, why we like them, and links to their sites.

• Web design software - Microsoft Front Page 2003
  (Still available in stores but about to be replaced by Microsoft's newest version.  We like it because it's easy to use and relatively inexpensive.)
   

• Domain names - GoDaddy.com -
  This company charges a very small amount for owing a domain name for a year.  They also offer specials on a regular basis if you get on their mailing list which is important as you'll find that it's a good idea to own several websites.
   

• Hosting - Ciplex.com 
  They only charge $50 a year for hosting, unlimited email access and basic support.  As stated at their site, "This hosting package is sufficient for 90% of the websites out there.  Most hosting companies oversell on what someone needs."
  (We also recommend this company if you're looking for a website that is more sophisticated than what we can provide for you).

   

• Shopping cart - Kickstartcart
  Do you need a shopping cart for your site? Depends on whether your site is used as an advertising vehicle or a direct method of selling your product or service.  If you only have a few items to sell, perhaps a Paypal account is sufficient.  If you're truly growing a professional business, you'll soon need a professional style shopping cart.

  A shopping cart will handle taxes and shipping fees for you.  It will take credit cards 24 hours a day, even when you travel, even when you sleep. Your transaction will go to the credit card processing company and in about fifteen seconds, you’ll have an authorization. It will email a confirmation to whomever you want to ship the product to without you touching a thing.

  Kickstartcart offers all the features you need for a thriving web business.  Designed by internet marketing specialist Tom Antion who struggled with many inefficient payment systems over the past fifteen years, it has everything you need at a price that's affordable.  Also available with this site is video direction by Tom Antion with step by step instructions on how to make this amazing program work for you.  Click on the link to read more.
