It's a good idea to set up a website if you're trying to get a job with a school teaching ESL or if you want to teach privately. This will help give you some credibility.

All you need is one page with a good picture and your resume and some basic info. I don't think it's necessary to put together a whole site. Through this company you can get a domain name and build a page right there on their site. It's a good bargain.

If you know how to setup a website you can get your domain at this site for very little money and they'll host the site for you. I use this service because it's based in New Orleans (my home) and it's very good.
