I do. I'm a web software developer by trade, and I spent the first 2 years of my career dealing with the technical hell that is Wordpress.

If you don't, look at something like Wix or Squarespace, a lot of YouTubers pitch those brands and you can get a discount, and you should be able to google up even better discounts as well.

Wordpress has a LOT of security holes. I DO NOT recommend it. The first 2 years of my career were spent fighting hackers trying to break our Wordpress-based eCommerce sites. Even if you don't go with the paid options above, I recommend getting anything free other than Wordpress, its security flaws are legendary. I'm sure you don't want a repeat of what happened on Wikipedia (except with bots selling Viagra.)

I don't want to get into why Wordpress is insecure, but a lot of it has to do with 3rd party plugins for Wordpress written either by amateurs, or people who just abandon the plugins and go on to something else.

If you go with Wix or Squarespace, and play around with the templates, I promise you won't need a web designer to make something that looks nice. If you can edit Wikipedia pages, you can handle Wix or Squarespace.

I always tell a potential client that my sites start at $1,000 then go from there.

edited to say - Actually in 2022 that is a bad price. I probably need to start saying $1,750 to start from now on, to get out ahead of 2023's costs. I always undercharge to my own dismay.

Thanks for you reply. Can you please update if it's still a reasonable price?
