Change is unavoidable

As I expected when I wrote my post a week ago, I've made some big changes to the plan. I laid out in that post how I would be using 000webhost.com to host Cheers' website. That's no longer the case. Here's why...

I'm not a graphic designer, I'll readily admit that, and I'm not good at website layout. To compensate for my shortcomings, I decided to look for a good website template. As I searched the web, I found a PERFECT template for Cheers' website. Unfortunately, the template is tied to Wix.com and can only be used on their site. I started to look around at Wix and decided that their free hosting will work for our needs.

It turns out, Wix is a great site that fits our needs. I was ready to use Kompozer to edit my site and FileZilla to upload to the FTP. Wix covers all of that. I selected a template and can do all of my editing in the browser and publish immediately.

As of now, I've made a lot of progress building Cheers' site through Wix, and they'll host it for free. I still have to fill out much of the site, but you can find it at http://je7979.wix.com/cheers.
