Website Building Options

The most common website builders

If you want to setup an online store

Shopify's Website Builder

  • This would make it easy to setup a payment system using shopify
  • They have lots of themes and I think setting up something that looks good would be do-able
  • The Basic Shopify plan is $29.00 USD/month, the Shopify plan is $79.00 USD/month, and the Advanced Shopify plan is $299.00 USD/month

Square's Website Builder

If you want to be plugged into Google's Business Suite

Google Sites

  • Drag and drop design, some themes available
  • You can add a 'button' for a paypal, venmo or shopify payments
  • Starts at $18 a month

If you want to do it yourself/learn more about tech/save money

Static Site Generators

  • The most tech-heavy (requires some code and using the command line)
  • Lots of templates
    • Gatsby and Next.js have the most options
    • Kim's favorite is Hugo
  • Free! (except paying for your domain name)
  • You can add a 'button' for a paypal, venmo or shopify payments, but requires some work
