Forgive me if this isn’t the right sub, I’m new to this. I am hiring someone to build me a new website, and they are asking for my Gmail login. I know they are using Wordpress/Wix to build the website. I’m just wondering if there’s a good reason for giving this info away. It feels like a stupid question but like I said I’m new to this. Please advise. Thank you!
Edit: for those asking this person is often referred on a popular Facebook page in my industry. Anytime someone asks about building a website, several people comment and tag them and say they did a great job. I tried searching their name to see if anyone has given warnings of any type but all the posts that come up say they did their website and love it. I have had a consultation with them and didn’t see any red flags up until this. I think they will be integrating with google and that might be why.
I will see if I can move forward without the login info, if not I will turn elsewhere. Thank you all for the heads up and explanations!
Edit: I am not looking to hire anyone! While slow I can & have done it myself.
I have had my Google Site for a few years now and want to upgrade it to a site I can do more with it as I find Google Sites super basic!
I train dogs professionally, so this website will be used to book my services.
I want to be able to book in client phone consults and the option for people to pay for their program if they decide to impulse buy.
While I am absolutely no web designer I have used WordPress and built a site on there before having to completely restart when I built my Google Site! I just fumble through while watching YouTube tutorials😂
My domain has been moved to squarespace and was considering building one with them, but then started reading some threads.
Can I please have some user friendly options to look into. Bonus if it’s a free site as I have not been used to including that into my budget in quite sometime now.
I am debating between Google Sites and Dreamhost. Google Sites seems very simple and inexpensive which I like, but I’m not sure how well it would work for linking my books to purchase.
Thanks!
