You can go to the Ikea website and download the kitchen planner\n\nhttp://www.ikea.com/ms/en_GB/site_index/site_index.html\n\nThere are more things in the Index that help with other general home designs.

Yes, try elance.com, rentacoder.com or other freelancing marketplaces out there, I am sure a lot of architects, especially the ones working from home, would appreciate a quick turnaround on drafting services.

If your interested in the design-side etc., try a design package like Macromedia Dreamweaver, once you've learnt basic HTML - http://www.w3schools.com. These packages are "what you see is what you get", commonly no raw code involved for you, if you wish.\n\nIf you're not interested in designs, there are plenty of options like Web logs  - http://www.blogger.com, Yahoo! Geocities etc. etc.\n\nIf you make your own site, you'll need to host it. If you're not bothered about a proper "domain" address, try http://www.freewebs.com. If you want the real-deal, try using http://www.dzinersolutions.co.uk - from my personal experience, they have some quality deals (I recommend the Unix Zone Starter deal).

First try some web designs by making your own web pages. It is free. Microsoft (free domain and hosting for life) , Google (Googlepages, Blogger) , Yahoo (Geocities), Freewebs are some of the companies offering free websites with design tools . A list of free websites with features and links is available at  http://tinyurl.com/lw7kp

http://www.ewisoft.com/free-website-builder.htm  Is a template driven program which is charged for, but basic program is free of charge and allows you to build a site right away...gratis\n\nhttp://www.evrsoft.com/   1st Page 2000, free version...not a bad tool\n\nhttp://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/WebPlus/key_features.asp  WebPlus 6, looks quite friendly and efficient\n\nhttp://nvu.com/index.php  An open source program that looks like it can rival many commercial ones.  Donations appreciated but you don't need to ... much of the open source now is far better than commercial..you may very well believe it worth a donation at some point.\n\nThese should get you started... good luck\n\nP.S.  MS Office Live sounds good however it is currently only available to small business owners/managers in the US until the end of 2006 at which time dependent upon the feedback received, they will then consider looking at beta testing in other countries.  Also, despite the fact the service is "free" there is a one dollar charge to your credit card in order to verify you are who you say you are.  The charge is supposed to be removed however, prior to your next statement.\n\nSounds reasonably promising tho.

Visual CAD or any full CAD program is the standard for designers until something better comes along. They can be used for visual layouts or even blue prints. Training for one of these programs is pretty intensive. Most learn these programs to land jobs with design or architect firms.\n\nA good architect can work of even a pencil sketch of your own. You're not going to find an "easy to us" inexpensive program to help you with a floor plan layout. You should really be using an architect anyways. They are familiar with building codes in your area and will see plumbing electrical and HVAC needs that you will not. I would suggest using an architect for any project you're serious about.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\n(316) 361-0675\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com\n\nFree initial consultations
