"You need to find a host that provides top facilities for your chosen CMS, some are very poor as they are still stuck on HTML sites and the server setup is no good. You also need to decide what country to host your site in as this is critical. "

You make two points here that I had not thought about or thought of as needing care. Could you elaborate on them booth, please:

1. top facilities host/server setup
2. country to host the site.

Thanks very much, Chris.

I'd hoped experience members of this group might advise me if there
might be a repository somewhere of website packages, not mere
templates?

I've had a feeling that I'd like to create a local community website
that Provides and solicits Information and Reviews on local
companies. There's a little family run Mexican food restaurant in
our town that I discovered a couple months ago after driving by it for
nine years. SOme of the best, fresh food that rvials any of the best
chains you've ever tried.

I wish there was a BEST OF LEESBURG website that would review
restaurants. Yep, there isn't one in our town yet. It made me
think :
"what would it really take to create a site?" something like Trip
Advisor where you can SEARCH read reviews and , when signed up, leave
your own comments, ratings, review, etc.

Some of like ANGIE's LIST but starting with food joints in all their
flavors and categories.

Would it be that hard to create an operating website package and put
it out in Public Domain when stable for the world's use? Shareware,
beerware, thanksware ?

I could play in Dreamweaver but my experience really wouldn't be up to
this coding task. I probably could work through specifications of
user experience fairly well.
