General New Buisness wanting to learn how to get my self on the web.

Hi, Name Kris...I have a PC repair buisness that I have been running for about a 2 & a half years now. It has been doing half decent latley now that the word has been getting around. You see, I offer "Geek Squad" like services, except when my clients realize the difference in my prices...they are basically my clients for life. So I have not been spending to much time advertising at all due to the great word-of-mouth buisness I've been recieving, but not for long.

I just recently meet two fantastic Techs, although they are very new, I see a lot of potential....they sort of see my vision in where I want to go with this. I really want to offer them jobs as soon as possible, but obviously I will need to secure a lot more buisness in order to pay these guys what they deserve. So bring on the advertising....

So some of my questions are:

What is the best, free web hosting service around (at least until I build my own appachie server and get my T1 line hooked up.) I sort of want to go the free route at first due to me wanting to experiment with different advertising ideas and directions. I'm sure I will be make a lot of big and small changes very often, and do not want to pay a proffessional to keep recreating things for me until I figure out the final product.

What do you recommend for a person that is quite good with computers, but has never done any web development yet, to build my site with. I really don't have a ton of time to put into learning a new language or a complicated piece of software just yet.....I'm just so very busy all the time.

I don't know maybe there is a developer that wants to show off their skills, or get some good advertising for themselves on a site that will, hopefully, be viewed by a lot of my current clients, as well as, many new ones.

Anyways, any advice on how I should start, any insider "secrets" I should know of, or just your opinions on me or any of my ideas would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks, Kris

Hi there... Well, being a "flash" fan i can tell you that using flash you get more atencion because of the animation, the effects, etc. but it´s not easy to learn flash or html in a couple of days... lol.
I can try to give you a help if you chose to work in flash, but editing and making changes can be a bit dificult... allow me to ask some questions:
how often do you think in making changes? once a week, once a month?
What kind off changes are those? products, works?
