There are many ways to build a web site. Many people have
hosting as part of their internet ISP support. Selecting a
URL cost if you want one. You can host and select with a
company like the one below. Thay are famous for their superbowl
commercials.
It cost I believe 20-30 to start up and 60-120 a year to host.
Here is a site that will give you an idea on prices.

Some basic steps for creating a web site
1. Define a url and check if it is available
2. Find a place to host your URL
3. Code your web pages and place on your web site.
I can help but do not want to maintain a website. It is not difficult
to maintain it, but as a computer science person I have a list to maintain already. If you can use microsoft word you can update a site.

I would be willing to help out with the site if needed. I have plenty of experience designing websites. It probably wouldn't be much for you to maintain Denise, unless you wanted to change the content often.
There are several free hosting sites, or like ME2003 said check with your ISP and see if they provide some free space. I'm pretty sure Verizon does if you use them for your DSL. You'll have to pay around $30 a year to use your domain(www.swam.org). In my opinion GoDaddy is a scam. I went through their forms once and if you say yes to all the extra features to 'protect you' you end up paying $40 a month for hosting... Their 'free' offers are ad supported... Hey, they have a 'cute chick' on the main page though. They just need a baby and a couple puppies and everyone will want to use them for hosting... lol.
It would be neat to have a forum of our own and a site to archive club stuff. I can think of quite a few things that would be nice to have on the site. A link to paypal to renew our memberships would be neat.

I missed this somehow... I'll give you a call ASAP and we can set something up.
You should start a thread and have members suggest what features they'd like to see on the site. We can boil that down to what would be most beneficial to the club while still keeping it easy to maintain.

Idea:
Shoot an EMail off to "Marc" over at Reefcast (or his other sites). He is the president of a big one in Texas. He likes to help people out. Could probably give you a gazzion ideas on how to approach this. He could also probably announce the new organization for you too on one of his shows..
Reefcast:

His personal web site:

Dallas/Ft.Worth Club site:

Cheers,

PS. Have you talked to Penny? Owner of AquaCorals in Fairfield? Did you know she used to be a web designer before she started her current business as a coral farmer and saltwater retail store?
She might be too busy, but then again, ..it might not hurt to ask, if anything, get some free advice from her... it certainly couldn't hurt her business any if we placed a few group orders on something or bought any equipment right?
