Build your website with Weebly

There are a number of website creation suites available.  We recommend some that we've reviewed based on usability, price, and the ability to collect payments from clients.  Platforms we like include: Weebly, Wix, Go Daddy, and SquareSpace.

A benefit of Weebly is that payments will be built in, as the site is developed by Square.
