Hey everyone,

I'm wanting to put together a website to showcase video, audio and photo content for a media conglomerate and production co. that I'm trying to put together.

there are a couple different routes that I am considering:
1) The Free Route: Although I'm trying to stay away from another MySpace page, I'm conisdering doing a BlogSpot or GoogleSite, something that will feel a bit more professional, but I would like it to be segmented for each form of media encompassed. I guess if anyone has experience with these and could give some suggestions, or you know of any other free sites, that would be great. I have a vimeo site already and could embed those videos anywhere.

2)The Legit way: I am pretty dumb when it comes to the actual process of setting up a legit .com website. I can deal with the whole design aspect, but am not sure about how to go about publishing. I considered doing a .mac account and doing an iWeb page, seemed kind of pricey for the amount of storage, but seems simple enough to get a decent webpage up and running quickly.

I also have a copy of Adobe GoLive CS2 that I have messed with and am pretty confident that I can design a decent page in that program, and have more flexibility as far as layout and such, but I'm just kind of in the clouds as far as what service to use for hosting, where to buy a domain name, etc.

any suggestions or wisdom from those who have experience with this animal would be GREATLY appreciated!! if you know of any good resources to simplify the whole process, please advise!!!

thanks so much,
Brendan
