[QUOTE="Thyamine, post: 790236, member: 30315"] Yes. You can pay someone to set the site up for you. Make sure you specify ahead of time that you wish to maintain it yourself later. That way it's all there up front and no surprises later for them. They may also have a few ways to make it easier for you to manage. WYSIWYG isn't bad exactly, but the problem is you don't actually know what it's doing on the back end. A lot of times you'll end up with lots and lots of extraneous tags from changing formatting, or centering, then removing centering, then adding bold text, then trying to remove it, etc etc. That increases the size of the page for downloading, but also adds room for a browser to misinterpret what it's supposed to do, or just add in an error that doesn't show up in IE, but does in other browsers. Also, from a developer point of view, it's like the user who knows just enough to be dangerous. People think they can develop because they can use a WYSIWYG editor, but really end up with some terrible looking code that causes headaches later. [/QUOTE]
