W04 Site and host builder

     This week was a lot of dejavu. 

     I've built sites before on several different platforms and with several different tools.  The constants in the process are:
1) You eventually have to just make a choice and get started.
2) You WILL have some sort of frustration.

     With all of the help that is available through youtube and how to sites for writing code like W3 schools, you will be able to get it done.  The time spent on researching which web and site host was actually more time than I have taken to build some sites.  Seems crazy right, to slow down a process that much. 
     This week I chose to focus on a couple of the free site builders and honestly think if I were writing the curriculum for the class, I might have had students try to build a home page and a product page on a free builder like Wix or Weebly as a test run (stop short of paying for anything).  Try inserting a piece of code, or a paypal link (also free to open a paypal account) and then had them use that experience to inform their decision about what they were looking for in a site builder.
     It seemed that many of my classmates just added to their paralization by too many choices, and maybe a more direct, hands on approach could give them experience as a foundation to build on.   What's the worst that can happen, they would abandon a site that they built with a minimal amount of time and paid nothing for.  There's my two cents.
