How do I build my website?

Building a website doesn't have to be complex. Solar Host is a web hosting company, not a web design company, however if you decide that a professionally designed website is something you need then feel free to contact us for a recommendation.

If you decide that building your own site is much easier you will be able to do any of the following:

Use Microsoft FrontPage
(Great for beginners, included in most MS Office Packages)

Use Adobe DreamWeaver
(More advanced, can be expensive, great results)
