What it is:
A cunningly boxed set of everything you could need to build your own website.
Why we love it:
Everybody's got a least one friend our family member like this. Any time the subject of the internet comes up they sigh, loudly, and say "I've really got to get a website." Perhaps they've got something neat to sell, or maybe a series of epic poetry they're burning to share with the public at large, maybe they just want to post pictures of their cat. Whatever the reason, they feel the digital revolution has left them behind, the long train to the world wide web has pulled out of the station and they were not on it. We feel their pain, building a website is a daunting task, especially if you don't know where to begin. The options are virtually limitless, the medium perplexing and the jargon incomprehensible. It's not hard to see why they'd develop a bit of a complex about how, err, complex it is to build their own website. For your techno-phobic friend, turn to the delightfully British* Mr. Site, and their "Your Own Takeaway Website". Packaged in a clever little box, or deliverable in electronic form via email, the takeaway website is everything they need to build their own website including simple, clear instructions and fabulously stylish templates. The price includes hosting for the site for a year, which can be renewed for a low monthly fee. Let Mr. Site drag your friend kicking and screaming into the digital age, we're sure they'll thank you for it.
Who we'd give it to:
Techno-phobes, teenagers, small business owners, writers of epic poetry.
Where to get it:
From
Mr. Site for an approximate $48.49 (price fluxtuates based on exchange rate)
