You’ve got the domain and maybe even a landing page – now it's time to build your website. But don’t stress! Building a website doesn’t need to cost thousands of dollars. 


A website doesn’t need to cost $20,000k. Website builders like Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress make it easy and affordable to get your site up and running. 


Here’s a quick look at their offerings and pricing: 

  • Shopify: Starts at $39/month, perfect if you want an online store, for website with lots of pages and selling items on. 

  • Wix: Free plan with Wix ads, or from $18/month, not at user friendly but can build many different pages and features.  

  • Squarespace: $19/month for a business website. 

  • Canva: fFor a one page or landing page website only. From $15 (just pay the price of Canva Pro). Canva is a great tool for businesses and they have recently launched their own website builder.
