Website updates

I wanted to look at changing the website. I am currently using iPage as
the host for the site, and they do provide a lot of nice tools to build a
website. However, the tools do not provide quiet as much flexibility as I
would like. They do offer some other services at an increased fee per
month, but I wanted to look at other options.
Through some web searches I found SoftPress' Freeway Express. They offer a
free trial for 30 days and I have been using it for the past 26 days. I
have to say it is a very nice program. It provides all the flexibility
that I need and I am able to do just about anything that I would like. The
big drawback is that it is very flexible and lets you do anything.
I have ended up spending a lot of time trying out all kinds of different
things and building the pages multiple ways. To me it is fun.
There is a bit of a learning curve but if you have some experience with
design software you can use Freeway. If you want to build a website on a
budget and have the time to do it yourself, I would highly recommend it.

About Me

My photo
I brewed my first beer in 1995. While it was far from perfect, I was hooked. With the help of a friend and a lot of reading. I learned to make better beer. At that point it was a less expensive way to get craft beer than buying cases at the store. I brewed constantly. While I took some time off when my kids were born, I always enjoyed brewing. through the years, I moved from extract, to partial mash, and then to all grain. Currently, I make my own recipes and am working (some might say too slowly) towards a licensed micro-brewery. I hope you enjoy my ramblings. Post a comment or send me an email, I always welcome feedback.
