Any good suggestions with retriever website development? I'm wanting to create a website for my retrievers and their accomplishments
So, what do you want the site to be for? Do you want it to be a commercial site, advertising your kennel or services? Or just a brag site, so friends and family can keep track of where you are all the time?
The options that are out there are different, depending on what you expect from the site. If you're just building something to record what your dogs have done, there are a lot of free website software sites.
If you're looking to build a site that you want to be found by people searching for retriever breeders or trainers, that's a different beast with a lot more bells and whistles required.

A Lab has no appreciation for the artistic value of a bonsai tree, but does appreciate their potential as chew toys.
It would be a combo of the two: a brag site as well as to advertise an occasional litter and to advertise stud services from a really nice looking, well-bred chocolate that is 9-9 in Finished hunt tests, 6-6 in Master hunt tests and won qualifying event at 2 years old.
I used WIX, picked a format and designed it
Yahoo SiteBuilder is very easy and cost effective at about $13-$14/month including the hosting and web domain registration.

www.weebly.com is free, easy, and works well. You can buy a domain, or just leave it off of the weebly domain as "myretrievers.weebly.com" I have used it for a couple of sites.
http://www.varetrieverbenefit.com/ is a weebly site. It is a little out of date.

I recommand Google. It's free and pretty easy to put up a site.

I have a wordpress site and it really works well for me. Easy to update and keep current which is the downfall of a lot of websites. I think you can even do free ones that would be like "mylabs.wordpress.com". I use hostgator as a host and I think that I paid for three years and it ended up costing like $3.95/month for the hosting.
Homestead is very easy and simple to use, and you get a great looking site

Do you listen to God as well as your dog listens to you? Can God run "Blinds" with you?

I second Weebly. It is one of the cheaper website builders that is truly easy to use. It has options for photo albums, videos, fillable forms, PayPal.
