Using my 'website-in-a-box' to promote my Domains?

[handy]

Hi, I just started, got some helpful replies to my first post the other day, so I already like this forum. I just jumped into the biz last week by buying 20 domain names that sounded good (I know, I know), put them on Sedo, and I'm thinking about promotion.

I don't know programming, and I use a 'website-in-a-box' for my real estate business, I plug my own info into their pre-existing templates and voila! I have an online presence for $40 a month from InetUSA. It allows me to put listings, photos, forms, reports, etc. online, then I point the domains I buy through GoDaddy to the relevant pages. I'd put one here to illustrate but I just tried that and it apparently was rejected so I'm starting over; is posting Domain names here is a no-no? I just wanted to illustrate what I have to work with.

I've discovered I can make blank pages on my site, and would like to make one to somehow promote the domains I bought to park, so I can hopefully create more parking revenue. Maybe I can just put them on there with a little description about each, then a link to my Sedo parking place? I can't alter the code or anything, so I don't think I can put any banner ads or anything on my site. Does this even make sense to try, or how would you use an existing template site like mine to promote your domains? Thank you.

Hi Handy,
nice to have you around.
I am not english mother tongue, however your post confused me.
I have understood that you want to set up a "showcase" site to advertise your domains (like the one I have in my signature otherguess.com) but you dont have the minimal technical skills to set a web page. I understood that you are parking your domains on Sedo.
I understood as well that you have bought a some hosting with built-in html or other tools to set up a site (40$ a month sound as a quite expensive bill for that).
Am I right?
To set up a basic page you need at least some knowledge on how to do it. This because you will be probably updating your pages quite often (adding names, changing pictures maybe, and so on). The look of this "already made" pages isn t that impressive (and often are impersonal and look unprofessional).
My advice? If you have time, try to spend sometime trying to understand the minimal requirements to change your site. Otherwise you will be always dependant from somebody else. Ask somebody who is used to build websites to do a simple, clean website for you (obviously you have to pay him: here at namepros there are MANY excellent designer that can help you for a reasonable price). Personally I have done my showcase, but I didn t spend much time creating it.(I could add some flash, fancy images , a better layout etc). But honestly the look of it is pleasant and clear (to me at least ), it doesn t take me long to update and all together I have spent 4-5 hours to set it up.
I hope this can help!
