I have a small crafting business which I’ve run for the last few years, Id like to get a website running to take orders through but I’m not very tech savvy and need something cheap and easy to run and set up. is there such a thing?

Can you not use Etsy instead?

If not, look at Wix or Squarespace.

I'm currently building my site on WordPress , but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't know what they're doing! I've heard good things about Shopify from my small businesses friends. Very drag and drop. Are you on Etsy, NOTHS, etc already?

I've had wix recommended to me twice my family so have had a look and it looks fairly straightforward. Have a look at what domains are available through there. I think there was a deal on when last looked where you could get the first year of both web hosting and domain for a few pounds a month.

Alternatively get onto Instagram

What are you looking for?

something super simple but monthly fee? Shopify.

something with no monthly fee apart from website hosting, but needs a bit more knowledge? Wordpress.

are you going to be able to send traffic to your website? It might be better to start with Etsy
