Anyone use a brochure style website? Looking for advice, thoughts.

Didn't know exactly where to post this so I did the general woodworking section.

I'm looking into doing a brochure style website and was looking to see where yours is hosted and general monthly cost plus how do you like it? I had an ecommerce website that cost me $276 per year with very little results. I get more sales through my pics on Facebook and Instagram.

I have my own domain name registered to me and want to be able to use it. My old website has expired as of last week and is no longer accessible. I'm looking just to have a simple presence online where I can post my info on what I do, pics, about me and contact me pages. Easy setup will help too. I'm not to good with computer stuff.

Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check Wixy or SquareSpace. Not sure of costing of either, but both are touted for ease of use.

Thanks Neal.

I found nothing for Wixy but my site was on Wix and they had nothing like I'm looking for. Square has ecommerce for $12 a month but trying to get away from ecommerce. Bluehost has something that I tried and could not get to work. That's 100% my fault because I don't understand it. They were $3.95 a month for a brochure style site with my domain.

Red, you were right, it is Wix, not wixy.

I use Wix - very easy to use and they have a lot of templates. I started out with one of theirs and wound up modifying it quite a bit - again, very easy to do.
You can take a look at www.jncarr.com.

Very nice Joe. The cheapest package I found on Wix was at $12 a month. My site (an ecommerece site) was on Wix until I let it expire. I've seen simple brochure type website packages advertised at $3.95 a month elsewhere. Looking to see if anyone has one and their thoughts. I may have to go the Wix route but don't want to spend the extra money if I don't need to. Thanks.

When I was starting to evaluate which way to go, I visited Square, Wix, and Wordpress about half a dozen times each over the course of a week. Wix obviously picked up on the fact that I kept snooping around and offered a half price deal for up to three years - so mine is currently $6/mo. That will change to their current rate in another year

That would probably make me sign on also. I had good luck with them, but ecommerce is not what I need any more. If they send me an offer, I would take it I think. Thanks.
