I’m loving your website, I think you’ve done great things with the design. For my site, which holds my CV and details of the magazines I’ve worked on over the years, I used Moonfruit.

Apart from my site (which is still under construction), I have no links to the company, so I can say without fear of appearing biased that I think they are the best way to get a website up and running.

I know nothing about web design, but they give you loads of templates to use if you need them, or you can start with a blank page and make whatever look you like.

Honestly, I can really recommend it. I’ll stop now as I’m sounding a bit like an advert! Cheers – Rich

Thanks so much for such a great post. Following this and reading a few other similar blogs we have decided to go down the same path for creating our university student publication, using WordPress and revolution. I am however reasonably new to WordPress so I was wondering whether you can direct me to step by step instructions on getting started, setting up the theme and just the basics of posting to it.

Any help much appreciated

That site looks great! We've had a good time working with Wordpress for our News Service. I started working on an open-source magazine theme, but need to start working on it again.

Creating a student journalism website on a tight budget you can download word press or other CMS and you can get free hosting as well but not classy, cheap hosting is about $3 per month
