Liz, you could always just start up a blog for free & use that as your sale page -- for example, at blogger.com. It's literally so easy it only takes a few minutes to get something basic up & running.

Hi Rawtastic,
I use www.webspawner.com for my website.
I have always had really awesome customer service from them. Any technical difficulties they have on-line staff who help to sort things out really quickly. This is simply wonderful for a Luddite like me!
A single basic page is free, but for multiple pages, with technical support and being able to add your own domain costs about $10 per quarter, less if you pay the whole amount for a year in one go.
been working in the online marketing world for seven plus years now. here's my 2 cents. if you are looking for transactions to take place on the web, which would be the best scenario, then you'll need something that can support a cart, credit card transactions, etc. software like squarespaces and blog don't support really support that functionality or if they do you have to work around through paypal, which isn't optimal (pretty sure on that). in 2009, if you are going to have product on the web, you should be able to sell it. i'd be willing to bet that conversion rates will be poor if you are expecting people to call to place an order. once you get your site up then putting up on etsy, price grabber and the dozen of other shipping comparison sites would be great.
i'll hit you up with a message to discuss further.
thats great advice! sounds complicated but like you said do it right from the get go. I guess I will see how Sat goes first - and see if anyone buys them..+)
That sounds like fun.. There is a thing called double dutch where two girls hold two ropes and you have to jump them both at the same time.. maybe you could find a couple of girls to try this with you. It's pretty impressive when you see it..
