sbs Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks for all the responses! I've decided to give weebly a try since it's FREE and so far has way more options than vistaprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuset Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) After this discussion, I decided to check out Weebly just for kicks & I decided to sign up & slowly transfer my site over to them (keeping my domain name thru GoDaddy though). Actually, reading the instructions, they sure seem simpler than what I went thru to set up my Godaddy site a while back (or maybe it's just that I played long enough with setting up my site on Godaddy that it seems simpler). Looking ways to cut costs - & I think that is a good one. I always appreciate the interchange of ideas this board provides.

I just finished transferring everything over to weebly and I bought my domain name with godaddy too. Unfortunately vistaprint made me pay $19.99 to "release" the domain name or else they would have had it on lock until January of next year. Even godaddy found it odd that they would charge for such a thing. Ugh.. but at least it's over and done with and my new site is FREE and 10X BETTER!!

I honestly don't know how they can even legally do that! Geez! Still, you just saved yourself so much money that I'm sure you're beyond stoked! I now don't pay for hosting because I worked a deal with another website owner, but just remember, if you want a real good "live time shipping calculated" calculator....remember, mal's cart for free and then you can add a shipping calculator for $5/month so $60/yr. I can give you the links again, etc.From what I could figure out, paypal charges for carts if you want a real cart and not just "buy it now" buttons? Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!

Noodle Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I pay the discounted rate annually. It is so much cheaper than month to month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelb5499 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 With Mal's, you mean? I actually use the FREE cart with Mal's, but then pay $5/month for a separate shipping calculator that works with Mal's. Looked like even paying yearly, if you just paid Mal's for it all it was $8/month?Or were you talking about Paypal's cart options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I use Mal's free cart on my site, but I pay annually for my website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjconner Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I purchased my domain from GoDaddy (approx $20/year) and host through wahmshoppes ($8/month). I purchased a Scrapless Designs template. She loaded it and I add my content. I am in the process of updating my site to better complement my new western theme.Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmsojka Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Paypal carts used to be free, I haven't used one for a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
