Newbie setting up a website for the first time

@slmkhoo I would rather go for Wordpress which is quite user friendly and has thousands of free themes to choose from. There are multiple plugins (also free) that you can use to add ecommerce and payments etc. later on.

@coolcat Thanks, but I’ve already done a simple one on Wix. Still battling with fine-tuning it, and I know it’s very amateurish! But I need something by next Sat. If it grows, I’ll hire someone to work on it!
I see various sites which say Wix is easier to use than Wordpress - it Wix is easy, I really don’t want to try anything else! It’s been a struggle.

Building a website in Wix is much easier now that they have an AI https://www.wix.com/ai-website-builder

If you want sales option then go with shopify. Use their one month trial with custom domain. Once you have sales then you can finally go with their subscription. Or if you have some advanced skills then you can use wix or wordpress.

I would recommend wix or squarespace, but shopify might be more appropriate for online sales as mentioned by a fellow parent in the thread.

@Mark_81 & Sofia
Thanks for the suggestions. I have a simple website on Wix now. I don’t plan to sell on my website, at least not in the near future so will stick with this for now. -
@slmkhoo All the best!

@slmkhoo Yes, agree with most stating the use of WIX.
You can get your domain name there.If you have a google workspace account you can link it up to it as well for email managements.
There are tons of features for beginners to intermediate users. You may also check out my website i build www.stbbsg.com on WIX and some coding. But for most part of it, if u need a simple website WIX can accomplish it flawlessly.
For designing of e.g. logo or photos, use canvas ,pretty good!
