MISSION STATEMENT: We can assist individuals and small groups in creating a mobile-friendly web presence at low-cost ($10 to $15/year with domain name) or even no yearly cost (without domain name) — using WordPress.com, Blogger.com, or Weebly.com. (The complexities of the self-hosted WordPress.org sites, are probably best handled by the expensive professionals.)

EXAMPLE BLOGGER SITES:
- The approximately 50 sites we have built on Google’s Blogger.com service are listed on our older BilltownWeb.com site.
- FYI: The Blogger sites are fine, but recently I have been using WordPress, because WordPress sites display better on mobile devices than Blogger sites.

WEBSITE BUILDING TOOLS:
1. Check Availability of Domain Names
- Domain-Nameit.net (reportedly a lower-cost part of Godaddy)
- NameCheap.com
- Godaddy.com
2. Whois Lookup: shows registrant info & expiration date)
- Icann.org: whois.icann.org
- Godaddy: godaddy.com/whois
3. Passwords:
- Lastpass password generator: https://www.lastpass.com/password-generator
- Code Frontier’s Random Password Generator – Add a “+” or “#” or similar character for greater security.
4. Other Tools:
- Archives: Internet Archive Wayback Machine (archives old web sites)
- Mobile Test: Google’s “Is Your Website Mobile-Friendly?” Test
- WordPress.com: Create a user id without creating blog (need to be logged out): https://wordpress.com/blog/2006/05/18/sans-blog for explanation, and see https://wordpress.com/start/account/user to create an account (Note: if you’re logged in to a WordPress.com account, you won’t see these pages.)
