How to build a website?

Hi all,
i am new to all this searching stuff, so new i only started today and with the help of some wonderful people on here, i have found out quite a lot in such a short space of time, its completley took me by surprise.
Right to the problen in question, How do i get my own website? Will it cost me anything, money wise? And how much? Is it hard?
I would like to do it for my grandad who is 83, and has been in his hightot today with the info i have gained today about his ancestors, so if i can get it all together in one place, rather than the little book i am making notes in at the moment, also i can then print it all and put it into a little folder for him, so he look at it when he wants to.

Many thanks
Wendy.xxx
 
Great stuff Wendy, what a lucky man your granddad is. I'm sure you will find help here.
 
Hi Wendy

If you are just wanting to build a family tree there are a number of sites that allow you to do this free, there are as many things you can do with them including printing your tree from them, here are a few to start

TribalPages.com

www.GenesReunited.co.uk

www.ancestry.co.uk/Family_Tree

You can also buy a programme just for your computer such as Family Tree Maker, there are others, hope this helps

Hi and welcome
There are lots of free website providers out there, these sites are usually pretty limited in size and scope but for what you want they should all be fine, just type "free web sites" in your search bar and take your pick, don't be daunted by all the jargon they'll throw at you, most sites are user friendly and give you all the help you need and having been down that road myself some time ago, if you get stuck just holler!
Have Fun

Thats great, thanks to you both, will give it a try and hopefully it will work out with minimal foul language and attempts to throw pc out of the window! lol
