First do you have template picked out? The you will need a ftp program to uplaod to the web. Do you have a host for your site and has your department name been registered? There are alot of questions that need to answered before you can upload it. But i'm down the road from you in Kinston. As far as building them theres nothing to it. Have built several and that is what i do for a hobby.

Google apps is also incredibly easy to use. I made my dept website by hand, but I made our county association website with Google (www.icffa.org). If you need anything specific I'll do what I can to help.

I also do websites for fire depts/hazmat teams as a hobby - my advice would be to check out Microsoft Office Live which is obviously through Microsoft - not only do they host your site for free - your domain name is also free and there is no advertising on the site - they have templates you can choose from, and you can upload info, photos etc. It's so easy a caveman could do it!

By the way, the sites I've done for my Depts. are very simple - feel free to use the templates I made if you want, or if you have specific questions along the way - just hollar- the sites are Carroll County Fire Department Hollow Rock Fire Department and HazMat604.com
