Quick question, for those who used moonfruit to create their website how has it worked for you? Im going to began to set mine up next week, under my own domain. Does anyone have any additional advice I could use? I read thread after thread relating to it so far, but if you have any other thing I should look out for let me know.

Also, how many of you have made your website from scratch, with no professional help? I've seen some really good ones here so far and cant help but wonder if it was self-created or professionally done.

I did mine using moonfruit and virtually not having a clue what I was doing, prior to this I have only ever used word, excel spreadsheets and email. I pay ?2.99 a month the basic package to maintain my site.

Violette's site is also a moonfruit site, but i think she has the premium package which gives you a lot more options and more tools to do fancy things.

Yea Violette's site is really nice. I was just hoping I could have a professional look to it from moonfruit, and it looks like I can. Im going to look at the site Lilly also and see how it works. but last night I stayed up til 3 am reading all about moonfruit so I'm really considering it.

Just do it joey, it costs sod all so it cant hurt can it.  Do it. Do it. Do it.  Your thinking to hard about it, get on with it.

 

 You're still fretting It is really not hard at all- Moonfruit is remarkably easy and you can alter as you go. It has a 14 day trial period before you pay btw so just get stuck in and if it doesn't go well no loss xx And yeah, Violette has a wicked site.

Just start doing it, you dont have to make it go live till your ready.  Cas, didnt you work on yours for about a month before you went live?

I promise, once you start on it, it will become addictive and you will enjoy it.  You get a much better feel for it as you go along and you can change it as and when you need to.  Just remember most importantly, KEEP IT ORIGINAL.  people dont want to see the same old thing time and time again so take inspiration from others sites but then truely make it your own.

Just have a go! No-one needs to see it if it's rubbish and you will learn some useful stuff - you might even enjoy yourself .

I can set the site up to go to my lexienight domain cant i?  i dont need a new one of those?

no, you can just transfer it. I can let you know how I would need to go back over it. Actually, click on 'domain' on the moonfruit website and it'll show you but anyway...girl I am having a blast with this webpage thing and its 4 am  . In fact Im having more fun than if I had gone out tonight. The good thing about making the website is the building is perpetual...this will keep me entertained on those boring nights! And no its not ready yet, Im still laying bricks!
