Mainly because you can do a lot without actually knowing HTML and PHP. Plus, there are lots of plugins for all kinds of extra functionality.
However, if you will be using Wordpress, stay away from Godaddy.
Hi, I have to create a website for my family business. I have done some research and found that HostGator, JustHost, GoDaddy are some of the best out there but I am not sure which one I should go with. The website will be simple with information about our business, pictures, the type of services we offer and their price and most like a "search bank" that will let them see our previous work according to the type.
Is it easy to create a simple website like that? I have no previous experience in this sort of stuff but I learn fairly quickly. I read that wordpress is good for this so maybe I should be looking for a host that has wordpress scripts installed right? Also, how much disk space/bandwidth do you guys reckon I will need? The website will be on our business card only. Also, will I need to pay extra for those SSL certificates or stuff like that? I have no idea what they are but noticed many hosts offer them. I won't be selling anything on our website, it'll be more of an informational website for our family business.
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
