The answer to that one depends on what you want it for, what sort of site you want, what you're planning to do with it, how flexible you need it to be for potential future developments and other matters, too. And even then, it's going to be a little subjective!

Go to Godaddy.com...it worked really well for me.

Do you have one? Between hubs and I we have a lot plus we have a few that we do for local clients
How long have you had one? Various amounts of time for all of them
What is the one thing you look for in a website? Not sure what you mean but I can't stand audio/video that starts right up. I immediately close it out!

Someone mentioned the best place to get a website and it varies. We use XSitePro web design software and I use Wordpress for my blog.

I don't recommend buying your domain and hosting in the same place. GoDaddy is great for domains and I use HostGator for hosting.

Do you have one?
Yes

How long have you had one?
I have had Green and Chic for almost a year now. I have been blogging on a regular basis for about eight months prior, on a self-hosted Wordpress blog though.

What is the one thing you look for in a website?
I need to know what the website is about in my first few seconds on the site. It can be via text and/or photos.

I could go on and on about building websites, but if you'd like to maybe just get your feet wet, I recently discovered DevHub. I haven't tried it myself but it seems like a pretty cool idea. I might set aside some time to build one today.

Do you have one?
Yes

How long have you had one?
A year

What is the one thing you look for in a website?
Good layout, readability, great content and good graphic design. I also like the ability to update content myself. Through my job history, I have found this to be a great feature, especially when in startup mode or a small business. In the past I have used a graphic designer to build the site according to my or my client's requests then managed it with
Adobe Contribute. Now, I use SnapPages to build my site, and sites for clients. They have a free option or a pro account which many of the businesses I work with use. I find it easy to use for layout - and I can turn the site back over to my clients to update as they want.

I have long been a believer that in today's times, the website is the new front door to your business and ensuring that it looks professional is essential to credibility.
