What tool/platform to use for creating websites for local businesses?
Hey, first of all, I've tried browsing this sub but I mostly find people wanting to create a website for themselves, which is not my intended goal, hence this post.
I'm trying to find a way to make some extra income on the side of my full time employment. I have a background in paid ads and some email marketing (Hubspot + ActiveCampaign), and I've built some landing pages using Shopify apps.
I've come across a few local businesses that need websites created for them, some even asked me if I can do it, so I want to give it a go.
What's your go-to platform for creating and delivering a website to local businesses. Could be: restaurants, barbershops, cleaning services etc.
I know Wordpress is popular but for some reason it just feels overly complicated and tedious.
I've seen GHL too, which seems to offer everything. But I'm not sure how in depth their website builder is. If it allows creating user login, handover, hosting etc
I want to be able to:
- Create a website easy with mostly no-code
- Deliver the site to my client (I feel like giving them a login is a must?)
- Make them pay a monthly fee for keeping the website up and running (I would like a very easy solution for hosting etc, I've seen Hostinger which seems good for wordpress and my end goal)
- Lastly: upsell ads, lead gen, content creation, local seo etc.
I'm open for all and any suggestions, but if you can, please explain a bit why or why not :)
