Default website building?

I was thinking about setting up my own website to look more professional in the eyes of big time UK wholesalers so they might consider dealing with me, i was wondering what people think about www.easybuildwebsites.com has anybody used this site?. Also any other suggestions on where i can go to set up somthing like a 10 page website that looks professional but is also cheap and easy to design. Thanks people.

www.oscommerce.com It's free and it can be fairly easy to use, lots of support on the website for you if you get stuck.

The catch is, if you're not technically inclined, your site looks the same as 25000 other sites.

What exactly are you after, I am about 1 week away from finishing my new site which is all about helping people get a presence on the web at a cheaper price.

I build all my own templates so your look will be unique. It all depends on what you want, some work I am not too keen on. I have built sites for local businesses and friends so far.

with oscommerce you can have as many pages as you like, but as mentioned then you need to edit it to look unique! but it can be done!
