I feel the same way!!! I am currently working on building
my own website and a fellow teacher reccomended using
Scholastic.com. I use them for book orders, but they also
have a free website builder. I used it for the first time
today and it was very very very user friendly. Plus you can
create a password and user name for your students if you
want to limit access.
I was using a different site provided by the district, but I
found it difficult to navigate. Scholastic takes you
through step by step and you can be as simple or complicated
as you want to be.
I hope this helps, and good luck.
