Every website needs a host.
I judge services on how good the support is because when there's an issue, I want to fix it ASAP. Siteground has amazing support, they pride themselves on working well with WordPress and their speed is very good. Been with them for years.
If you're just starting out, I suggest their smallest plan "Startup." Later you can always upgrade as you grow.
Ever wonder what happens when you signup for a newsletter and start getting email messages right away? They're using an auto responder.
There are only a handful of auto responder services worth using. The one I like most, use and tell others about is Aweber.
This is an amazing website page designer/builder I've really been enjoying working with. released in 2016, they now have 12M+ websites using it. They've quickly becoming one of top page creators for WordPress.
If you're just starting out, I recommend going with a single site license.
This is also an amazing website page builder but it's built specifically for online businesses. This site here was built with it.
You can build stores, membership sites, squeeze pages, etc., etc., etc.
Comes with more than enough templates too. (this site is using one of them.)
This is what I use to design presentations, business cards, banners, etc. Most of the design work has already been done. Pick a design you like and adjust it to fit your brand. Love this service.
Since 2003 I've used WordPress, Aweber auto responder service, etc., etc., etc., to create.
