This is where a lot of people learn HTML, to create websites with.

I have had experience in setting up several websites, both on shared hosting and otherwise. Feel free to send me a PM if you want advice on something.

that helped a little bit, thank you. i looked at gatorhost and saw that they offer a sitebuilder, so that will be more useful. cause im not going to the build the site, my client is.

You can use a forum hosting service. Though they will look unprofessional, unless you have your own domain.

You can also look at premade HTML Templates if you're not too good with designing.

Ultimately it's best to learn how to setup a website on your own.

Even better to learn how to use/design HTML efficiently.

I'm assuming he wouldn't want a forum hosting service for a small business...

So businesses shouldn't have support forums :nuts:

Depends on the forum.

If he's selling chocolate, probably not.

If he's manufacturing the world's quickest and newest operating system, there might be a tech-help forum.
