I want to start a website so I can attract my own clients (currently just doing word of mouth).
I offer support services in 3 distinct areas. My website will need to introduce me and explain what I do. Will need separate pages for each layer of services. What I need: Blog ability Appointment booking/managing Messaging/chat Easy to edit Possibly payment options Design will be clean and simple (appealing to people with overstimulated and overwhelmed nervous systems. When I start looking at site design (wix, WordPress, squarespace) I feel unsure which is best. I also don't know where to buy my domain. I want to set it up myself, I've tried talking with a few designers and don't feel they get the vision. Can anyone here offer any resources or suggestions? Thanks in advance! |
Doesn't matter. Every single one of these can give you all these features. Don't be an optimizer on this. You can switch later if you want. |

Use GoDaddy as a host. I paid a website design company to do mine. So many use those template versions and they look generic, I wanted something more bespoke.
Look at the work of website design companies and schedule consultations based on if you like their work displayed; also read reviews from reputable websites like Clutch which is a good place to start for services related to businesses.. |
Wordpress |
I did Bluehost and Wordpress. Templates make it pretty easy to set up a website. |
Wix |
ChatGpt will help you out with suggestion. |
You get what you pay for. If there are technical issues, you get zero support from places like Wix or GoDaddy. |
