Hi all. My wifes boss wants to open a web site and asked me. Years ago I had a free web page. It was with AOL and I no longer have AOL. It is for a small family owned restaraunt. There will be pictures, just a few, a menu, the hours and not a lot more actually. I do not need a lot of space for this purpose. Does anyone know of servers offering small web pages for free at all anymore? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance all. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Sorry I can't be of any help to you but that is way over my head. hahaha I only sent info to a web master when I worked at the race track and never had to deal with the web site. I hope someone can help you get what you need.

Bob, I think maybe gmail has a web page service for it's members, yes I just went and checked, it is under sites and it says "Create websites and secure group wikis" If he needs an invite which I think he does, have him email me, I think you have my email. I will send him an invite, I have a bunch left to give. blessings Marilyn

Thank you very much. So which would you recommend for a small business with just the basics? No online ordering or anything along those lines. Just for customers to see the menu and address and phone number. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Blogger is a blog site where you might be able to do some things. Set up a Goggle account and try it out. Hope that helps. If you need somebody to write a review remember we have tons of great writers here on the site. (I do reviews ) Either way, best wishes.

Hi GB. I have mine through Tripod/Lycos. I have quite a few pages and haven't made much of a dent in the available space allowed. They provide the platform, the templates (a variety to fit many different posting interests), photo storage, etc. I've had them for about 7 years or so. My site is: http://katluvr54-ivil.tripod.com ***THIS IS NOT A REFERRAL LINK - IN IS MY PERSONAL WEB PAGE ONLY!!*** They can look at it and see if the format and flexibility (I use different templates on different pages, etc.) fits their needs. Just so you know - I haven't updated it since before Memorial Day! Here is the main free web page link (AGAIN - NOT A REFERRAL!!) http://www.tripod.lycos.com/

Yes - they use CasaleMedia. As far as I know, it's just one. But, I only go into my site once in a while as a viewer, not admin. so, let me change pages on it to see if it comes up on every page. It appears that once the first one pops open, no more open. Which is good - those sites that have one on every stinking page only keep me from going back to them.

did you check freehostia.com. It offers free hosting without any adverts for a whole year. Than you can upgrade the package. I guess it would be suitable for your needs.

You can check out Office Live, which is Microsoft. They have about 3 or 4 different plans, but you can set up a basic site, with several pages, for free. I think if you search for Office Live Basics, you will find it.

Oh, I think there are several. However, the cost of a domain is low and hosting is reasonable, so I think a business should get a small commercial web server account.

hey hun i've just recently set one up on freewebs and i'm not paying anything isn't hard to use pretty simple, i know scorpio set one up aswell but not sure who she used will have to ask her and post back. Where are they based? Whats the name of the resteraunt? your going to want an address thats easy to remember unless they have already paid for one? If they are only looking for something simple and need advice i'm happy to help but anything really complicated i'm rubbish at html just holler if he gets stuck. Might be an idea to do a lens on squidoo get his customers involved and posting about the restaurant how good it is, photos, promotions etc Good luck
