    Default Website Creation Questions

    I am looking for some advice creating a website for my financial advisor business. Hopefully a few people on here can help with my questions. Remember I live in Canada.

    1) Where is the best place to register a domain name?
    2) Where is the best place to host my website?
    3) Should I use Wordpress or Wix or something else?
    4) Any other tips or things that I should be aware of?

    Long story short is that I hired a friend of a friend to make me a website in March. What she has created even after many change requests from me is not up to my standard so I want to restart the process and do it myself.

    Thank you all for your advice.

    Most hosting sites you can register for the domain at the same time.
    Domain name is a set price, and you renew it every year.
    Hosting can vary depending on who you go with, and what bells and whistles you want.

    If you have limited programming skills I'd suggest using a site like Wix or Squarespace, depending on the look and feel / functionality you are trying to achieve.
    They have an easy What You See Is What You Get type online editor that can apply some more common web atheistic looks.

    They also provide domain and hosting, but it's a bit more expensive because they provide the content editor for you also.
    I've heard awful things about GoDaddy, never used them my self though.

    I'm a graphic designer (with no programming experience) and I would whole-heatedly recommend Squarespace. Much more user friendly than Wordpress, and all of their templates are really nice and fairly customizable.

    I just did my first Squarespace site for a client and it went incredibly smoothly.
