12 Tools for a $10 Website
Essentials
Domain Name - GoDaddy - $9.99, Includes email, photo album, DNS control, etc.
Free Hosting - AgilityHoster - technically you could use GoDaddy free hosting, but it places a large banner at the top of every page. AgilityHoster is my favorite free host, since many free hosts don’t support any MySQL databases. It can be a pain to set up, but it’s free!
File Transfer Protocol - FileZilla - Great open-source FTP.
Graphics
Favicon - Favicon.cc
Logo - LogoCreatr - If you can’t get the colors to work as you want them to, use
[col=colorhere]text[/col]instead.Badges - FreshBadge - Takes a while to get used to it, but stick with it and you’ll get some nice designs.
Color Picker - Color Wizard
Layout
Content Management - WordPress - Fantastic CMS - I use it for all my sites.
Themes - WordPress Themes - Make sure to check the author’s copyright on each theme, as they may differ in the range of customization options.
Stripe Gradiant - Stripe Generator
Menu Creator - CSS Menu Maker
Administration
Statistics - Google Analytics - Not my favorite, but it’s free and easy to set up.
Keep in mind that this is a budget website. If you get serious about your website, you’ll want to spend a bit more - at least on hosting. Check out DesiznTechp’s post for more web generators.
