Hi Mari,

Looks like we have some things in common, and I feel your pain. We have so many people coming to use with this kind of nightmare. As a brand and marketing agency, our goal is to be sure our clients do not have to deal with the kind of issues you are going through, and dial them with best website builder options so they can put their energy where they would like to... connecting with clients/customers and seeing profits. 

Since you posted this, it may be that you have already got this worked out. If not, I would be honored to help dial you in with the most fitting hosting and site review to be sure you get exactly what you need and only what you need, as well as make sure you are getting the results you are looking for from your site.

You may already know this, but there are platforms like Squarespace where everything is already ready for you.., you just get to build (including pros like: hosting, server, security, back-ups, data support/export if you decide to ever leave, analytics, good looking templates, good customer support, decent pricing, etc.) and again, all you do is build your site. There are some cons, which include the fact that a Squarespace site is ultimately owned/developed by them, even though you do the building. The advanced marketing side is also lacking, although there are some basic methods you can use to get traffic to your site. If you are interested in learning about how a Squarespace site might be a good option, and get a good feel for what it takes to  build one, we recently posted a full web class How to build your Epic Website on Squarespace, and you can see that here: Master Class - Week 6 - How to build your Epic Website on Squarespace

Hope this helps, and feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions at all.

In your corner,

Mike
