    Default Website Registration & Website Design?

    Any forum members out there know much about starting your own website?

    My wife would like to try to launch her own small (sub) business next year.
    We'd like to manage the website ourselves, but we don't want to try to program our own code from scratch.
    (There's no online purchase functionality. The standard 5-6 tab layout with Main/About/Services/Contact etc.)

    Basically looking for a website template to purchase - then modify text & photos ourselves.
    If things go well, obviously there will be extra pages & sub-pages that would be added in future- and hopefully there is an easy way to bring in new templates.

    I do not want to have to pay anybody a recurring fee or ask for maintenance.
    I'd like to start setting it up this year, with plan to launch in Summer/Fall 2020.

    (not hockey related. professional business)

    I asked a similar question a while back.

    Here are the responses I got -

    I was however looking for something free for my brother. Then he decided to just roll with social media marketing.

    If you are not "coding" type or person, I highly recommend Wix or Wordpress.
    It's very user friendly and an out of the box solution.

    Their pricing plans are fairly cheap for the base models, and it also allows you to keep up with the current Web trends.
    The price you pay for their model is well worth it then banging your head against a wall trying to figure out how to make a responsive mobile website with fancy gadgets / widgets.
    They also provide free sites, but include their ads, but it's a good way to test out the product.

    If you purchase a template, you're going to need to maintain it and modify it at as the trends change and technology moves, which is frequent.

    Purchasing a domain and server space is also fairly easy, but you'll need to know how to upload files using an FTP, unless some of the new sites provide a dashboard for that.
    I've used a site called 1and1.ca but there are many alternatives.

    If you're comfortable with coding, then purchasing a template may be the way to go, a quick google search will bring you to a bunch of different options.

    Completely forgot about this one!

    Also very good, my Wife and I used it to create our wedding website and used it to get RSVP's and provide general info.

    Super user friendly.
