Hello!! I am an artist who is looking to expand beyond twitter commissions and i would love to have a website with a newsletter.
Im looking into options right now, and i was wondering if anyone here knows what the best combination of cheap domain + a business email + website builder is?

Im currently using carrd (free) for my site. i could upgrade to pro for $19/year, buy a domain and connect it to carrd and get a business email to use Sender (generous free plan) to start a newsletter, im missing a few puzzle pieces, or if anyone knows a better way to do this please let me know! thank you :)

Looking for a good free builder just to start, or should I look at paid ones?

I started a new business & for that I want to create a simple website like portfolio. I don't have high budget for website development. I can pay $5 per month.

Please recommend me some best & cheap website builders for small business.

Most of the websites I’m seeing (Shopify, squarespace, Wordpress) seem to be about $25 per month. Has anyone found anything cheaper? I would like to do sales through the website. I have a small woodworking business and I’m not sure if it would be worth it for me to pay 25 bucks a month. I also don’t have an issue with creating it all from scratch if that is a possibility.

I started a small tutoring service recently and I’m trying to get online without spending a ton. All I really need is a homepage and a booking/contact page.

Looked into Wix and Squarespace but both get expensive fast once you want your own domain or remove ads.

I’ve seen Durable mentioned a couple of times in this sub. Any feedback about it?

Would love to hear what you guys use before I waste hours testing random platforms.

So I’m in the process of starting up a business and I’m planning on creating my own website. What I’m most concerned with is making my site look professional and driving traffic to it.

I’ve heard good things about Wordpress so I checked it out but I’m hesitant to go through with it because of the cost.

It costs $300 (25/month) for a business plan. It’s not that it’s too expensive, but I’m trying to avoid paying so much upfront if that’s a possibility. However, if it’s worth it, I’ll definitely do it.

Anyways, any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just started a small business (s-corp) and wondering what the best/cheapest/easiest way to create a website is. I created the S-corp via LegalZoom, which connected me to Wix, which charges about 14 or 15 a month, but was wondering whether there are any cheaper/free options.

Related to the same, I'd like to create a Gmail account for the business. Does that cost any money? And would any issues arise if I decided to do so and build a website using something other than one of the more mainstream/expensive website builders (e.g. Squarespace or Wix)?

I want to create a simple website with basic info about my family's business. I need a website that's easy to use and doesn't require any coding. Any suggestions?

What are the best website builders for small businesses? I’m starting a small business and now looking for the best website builders to create my own website. I want it to look professional and also help drive traffic. I plan to build the site myself, so I’m searching for a builder that’s easy to use but flexible enough for future needs.

I’ve been reading about different companies, but it’s confusing. Many seem good at first, but I’ve heard some business owners say that certain website builders don’t work well with HTML, or have limitations because they use drag-and-drop systems. I don’t want to face issues like that later.

I have a few questions:

• What is the best website builder for small businesses?

• Are there any good free website builders?

• Should I go with a custom-built site or use a drag-and-drop builder?

• Any website builders you recommend based on personal experience?

Any tips or advice would be super helpful! I want to pick a platform that works well long-term and won’t give me problems once my business grows. Thanks in advance!

I’m in the early stages of launching a small business and need to get a website up soon. My two biggest priorities are making it look professional and actually driving traffic to it, no point in a pretty site if nobody visits it.

I’ve looked into WordPress (the Business Plan is $300/year), and while it seems powerful, I’m hesitant to commit that much upfront. Not because it’s outrageously expensive, but I’m wondering if there’s a better starting point that doesn’t involve paying a full year in advance.

Are there platforms that offer a good mix of design flexibility and marketing tools, especially ones that don’t break the bank? I’ve seen people mention Shopify, Squarespace, and even working with digital agencies like Clectiq for more customized setups. I’m open to anything that balances affordability and growth potential.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you or your business. Thanks!

I am increasingly being asked what is the cheapest and easiest way to get a website up. These are brochure sites with modest needs that can't afford a robust solution or a developer. These are typically solopreneur or gig work stuff like; catering, pressure washing, fence building, or even auto body shops. These are not technical people, and just want something that looks nice and is easy to update.

There are lots of great platforms that could do this for $20/month or more, and often increase after the first year. Most of these businesses are not profitable or operating yet, so it needs be as cheap (>$10/mo) as possible or wont be sustainable for them.

Two very cheap options that seem suitable are web.com or hostinger.com but there are many others. I also see mixed reviews at this price point. Can you fine folks suggest your preferred service that could fill this need?

Most of the big names like Webflow and Squarespace are kind of pricey.

Are there any no-code builders that have affordable monthly plans but still look professional?

I’ve seen Hostinger, Durable, and Weebly.

They all seem to look good but I haven’t personally tried any of them.

I just need a homepage, about page, and contact form if I ever pick one.

Which one do you use and why? Help me out. Thanks!

Hello everyone I'm trying to set up a website for my small restaurant and was wondering what do you think would be the best budget option. I will be building it myself. something like this would be perfect for me, which seems pretty simple. https://www.cabralosangeles.com but I want to spend as little as possible.

Hi there,

I need recommendations on good and fairly easy website builders that will take a domain I already own and use that. I need something that would be good for photo and video portfolios and would be good to build a sleek and fairly minimalist website for a cheap price. I'm literally just starting out here and do not have a lot of money on my side, and this is more for a portfolio more than it is a business website with transactions.

I have some experience using the old WordPress hosting, but that was just horrible to use in my opinion and really would likes something easier. I'm not a huge fan of AI, so something that's got a graphical interface that's got an easy to use drag-and-drop functionality it more my speed. I'm not a programmer, so something that keeps me away from code as much as possible would be nice.

Any suggestions?

Hey, everyone.

I'm currently in the processing of starting my own business (completely online), and I need a good website builder.

Coding a website isn't currently an option. I would just like recommendations STRICTLY on website builders, and what the best ones are for the price. And what kind of prices am I looking at ?

I've heard both wonderful and not-so-great things for every website builder out there: Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, etc...

I also heard that Shopify charges you per payment transaction? Not too sure, but I believe I read that somewhere.

I would love something offering simple and clean layouts, is user-friendly, and something I can also add subscription options to (e.g think monthly subscription boxes for clients), if I end up going that route eventually.

I live in Quebec, if this helps anything.

Thank you everyone! I appreciate any/all advice 🥰

Setting up a site for a family craft store and trying to keep costs down. We already have a domain and are looking at Shopify, WooCommerce, and Square Online but want something simple that won’t hit us with big monthly fees or high transaction rates. What’s the best ecommerce website builder for a small business on a tight budget that’s still easy for beginners? Is WooCommerce really cheaper in the long run or does Shopify end up saving time and headaches?
