Websites!

[ide]

I've just finished (hah, I'm never finished...) some serious updates to my website ( http://www.swimmingmermaid.com ) and it got me thinking - who here has hired a web developer? Do they recommend anyone in particular?

If you build your own website, what do you use?

I use a free wordpress account, and then get domains through godaddy.com, personally, but I'd love to hear about what works (or doesn't work) for other performers.

I also just added a GigSalad presskit, something I already had for the Vespertine Circus, which is very helpful in generating some traffic without costing any money (unlike paid-only booking sites like GigMasters, which generated a similar amount of traffic, but for $$).

Anyway... I'd love to hear about your experiences, and/or feedback on my site: some things I'd like to edit, I can't edit because I'm using a template, but I'd still love to hear what you think. What works, what doesn't work, what information is missing or confusing, etc. etc. :]
