Well, I'm a computer geek that specializes in building/repair, and really know my way around hardware. Software is a very different story. I know my away around operating systems, can configure them, and know how to some fairly advanced troubleshooting, but that's about it. I have some (very) basic programming underneath my belt from a few high school and college courses in Java, C, and C++, and I'm getting my toes wet with some networking. I volunteer at a non-profit and after upgrading their existing computers and building a few new ones, they think I'm a computer god and can make them do anything (I'm pretty humble about my skills though). They would like an online presence as cheap as possible. I don't mind donating my time to this cause, but I'm just unsure how to go about it or if it's a task that's even within my ability.
The website doesn't need to be complicated. The organization is all about community activism, so I'd imagine the website would be about updates, events, and probably embedded video/pictures from gatherings, protests, and whatnot.
I'm wondering, how difficult is it to get a website online? And what's kinda the general process? I figure with all the tools and templates that web-hosting services offer, it wouldn't be too much more difficult than creating flyers (which I'm pretty proficient at). I'd appreciate any insight you could offer.
