    If have a smallish budget to spend then you could get someone on
    fivver.com to do the job for you. There are a lot of sellers that would do the job for between $5 & $95.

    I would suggest you use Wordpress. Bit of a learning curve but worth it. Divi by elegant themes is good

    Assuming you don't have any code or web dev experience, you may want to look into website builders, probably something with a drag-and-drop interface, something like Wix, Weebly, or even GoDaddy's website builder.

    However, like someone else mentioned, Wordpress is a great option. But you're probably going to need to learn, in addition to actually using Wordpress, some html/css to use it well.

    Good luck!

    You should start with Wix or Wordpress.
    But i suggest Wordpress because it's more friendly with the search engine optimization, it has a lot of plug-ins which allow you to do many sort of things.
    If you want to design website your own and want it to be "eye-catching", you should start with Wix.

      Yeah, I'd say to go with Wordpress. It's powerful, but it's also very user-friendly. It's very well supported by its community and there a ton of free plugins and themes. Once set up (usually doesn't take long) it will look and operate like a pretty professional-looking site.

    I prefer WordPress CMS to design websites because it has so many free themes and plugins which offers exclusive features to build and enhance and we can optimise its ranking in SERPs. Any person with less coding knowledge can also design a website with WordPress. But you need to have own domain and hosting.

    Hi,

    To design a quick and easy website I use Weebly for many of my clients. I then give them a tutorial of its drag and drop elements and they are more than happy. If its something you don't want to spend much time on I would recommend Weebly. If you want something a bit extra then WordPress.

    Hello,
    For design a static website you should know html5, css3, jquery, bootstrap etc web programming language.

    But if you don't want to learn any web programming language but still want to build a website with dynamic way, so you should use WordPress cms. There are many others cms available but i will recommend just WordPress.

    Why WordPress?
    1. Free and easy to use
    2. Tons of free and premium high quality themes
    3. Tons of free and premium high quality plugins
    4. Able to build any type website also online store and blogs
    5. Now-a-days 28% website powered by WordPress in the internet

    Thank you.

    As everyone recommended here, I also suggest you use WordPress for your website. But you need to know how to setup WordPress and bring out a full-featured website from it.

    At least, the basic of HTML and CSS will help you a lot in the journey.

    Despite using the coding languages, if you like to setup your website just designing it visually, I recommend weebly, wix, squarespace or any other platforms like them.

    Lastly, there are many free to access tutorials online for web design learning. You can search for them, I believe these kinds of videos will help you a lot to build your basics on web design.

    The website can be designed in 3 simple steps-
    1. Pick secure and strong hosting-
    For creating a website, you first need a domain name to let people visit you.
    2. Select the best website building tool-
    You have to select the best website building tools such as GoDaddy's GoCentral to help you add images and text, set up product pages and even, changing color schemes.

    There is a lot more to this than just saying "hey pick wordpress" You need to think about what it is you want the website to DO FOR YOU. I will assume you would want it to get leads for your business. Because you are a decorator ( justguessing ) you will need to show images of the work you have done. you will need the ability to capture client information to get in touch with them. You will need to list all of the areas of Decorating you cover. You will need to display your phone number for potential clients to call.

    I would suggest finding websites of business' that do what you do, and then find a design asthetic you like. From there find a design platform that is going to give you that appearance. ( in many cases you can look in the sites code to determine what service or theme they are using )

    From there it is a matter of replicating the asthetic design, and the more functional aspects of the page. Once you know this stuff you will have a better idea of what it is you need to outsource as needed.

    For web design first you should need ui design, and after that you should do development your website by a web developer..
    For this your niche selection is most important.

    If you're a beginner you can follow these three steps-
    1. Teach yourself advance coding - Like basic html and CSS.
    2. Use pre-made website templates - You can purchase or find free templates online.
    3. Hire a website designer - There are many of professional web designers who are willing to deliver services. There's an agency on which I trusted the perfect one Ultimatewebdesigns.co.nz; delivering such great services from New Zealand with great customer experience record.
    I hope this little bit information will help you!

    Hi,
    There are many ways to design a website.But it depends on what your purpose is and the knowledge of programming and stuff.
    Even a guy with zero programming knowledge can easily put up a site using sites like wordpress etc.
    If you need to design from the bottom,you'll have to use html,php,java,css and stuff like that.
    There are templates to download,so you just have to edit some coding to change it to what you want.

    Well here is the truth, if somebody told you WordPress is easy, it is not, if you never done this type of work, to build a custom website that makes money, you will need to hire someone, most people try and give up, after they find out all the things you need to know,

    I use WordPress too but there's a lot of things involved to personalize it.

    If you are new and know what you want your website to look like then hire someone. After you get your website up then you can start the promotions.

    I used Mike @ wphow2s.com

    There are others here as well.

    I'm sure they will be glad to help you at an affordable price.

    If you want to design a website, then I recommend designing a website using WordPress platform. WordPress is a good platform that has already built templates for designing a website. This eases your designing work too.

    You can use Photoshop to design it. Then learn HTML/CSS/Wordpress to code it and make it live.

    I recommend using a landing-page-generator SaaS such as wishpond to create a quick effective static webpage (if that fits your needs) otherwise use wordpress and pick a theme you like
