    Hi,

    It's been a long long time since I've done any development, currently in a business analyst role.

    A local community group have approached me to develop a website for them and to do it as cheaply as possible.

    In the past, I've used Weebly and found it grand but the hosting of the website was a tad expensive.

    The new website will have 5 static pages.

    What tools should I consider as an alternative to weebly?

    Hi
    I done one a while back for a group using WordPress. Easy for them to update and maintain. I would not be an expert but it does the job

    So 2 questions

    What are the cheapest options for hosting something like this? I might develop another few sites for other local groups so prices to host multiple sites e.g 4 might be helpful.

    Wordpress or Joomla would do the job. Although there is a massive botnet attacking wordpress sites at the moment. They seem to be targeted more than Joomla.
