Moving the website.

I am in the process of moving HC USA to a new host. (It's a work in progress, but if you'd like to see it, you can find it HERE.) The design has changed a bit, but the information is this same, with a few updates here and there.

Once the site is fully built out, I will transfer the domain name so that www.homeschoolcollegeusa.com will take you to the new site.

PLEASE NOTE: Many of the internal links will *not* have the same URL address once the transfer is complete. If you have bookmarked a specific page on the site, such as an individual course page, you will need to update it after the move.

I am sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. I made the decision to move to Weebly from my current host because they offer a free ad-free webhosting package, and while I intend to upgrade to their pro account after the move to take advantage of some nice features, their price is about 1/2 of what I pay now.

Just as a side note - If you have ever wanted your own website but avoided it because of cost or because you are not a coding expert, Weebly may appeal to you. It does not require any HTML/CSS/coding knowledge and you can build your site completely with templates and "drag & drop" components. They have blogging software that is user-friendly as well. (If you do know HTML and CSS you can make changes to your site using either.) Their free package has a few limitations such as file-size on uploads and the requirement to have their icon in your page footers, but unlike the vast majority of free hosts out there, your site is not overloaded with ads. You can choose to include Google ads if you wish, but that is optional.
