Is the yahoo small business ready-made website a good deal for small business owners?
I am a vitamin and natural foods retailer with an established store business, but no web presence. I want to sell online and have no experience with web design or buying advertising for the search engines. Yahoo says that I pay them every time someone clicks my business name. Does anyone out there already have a business website in place through yahoo? Are your results worth the fees paid to yahoo?

It all depends on what you’re looking for in a website. "Ready-Made" websites won’t give you that custom look and most likely look unprofessional as far as free hosting I wouldn’t do that either unless you’re okay with ads on your website that you have no control over. I have used Yahoo for promoting my websites and the results wasn’t worth what I paid but every case is different. If you have no experience in web design I suggest you let some one else set up your website. After all this is your business and you want everything done right. Good Luck
I would try something free like freewebs.com, geocities, homestead.com, or ?. start your web presence with something free, and if it works out, then buy your own domain name – you can get them for as little as 2-5$ a month.
I would advice you to seek elsewhere, there are a lot of places to get a free website, and others that do charge a lower fee than Yahoo – Yahoo’s fees are too high, and they also charge your account a percentage per month, on any sales that came out of your website, so I would say is not worth it.
You can try http://www.citymax.com they offer website hosting, and is really easy to create a webstore without graphic design knowledge, and their fee is not high. You can try it free for 10 days and see if you want to sign up or not. Good Luck!
