Ask HN: Basic corporate presence website?

1 points by waldrews 10y ago ↗ HN

What's a simple choice for someone who's technical in non-web areas but doesn't want to learn CSS and the rest of it, and certainly not about visual design, to make a minimal corporate presence website that looks "legit." Presumably some CMS and templates with graphics? Doesn't have to be completely free...

www.wix.com

also, might search under bootstrap themes. you can get someone pretty cheap on upwork.com to modify the theme for you. $20-$40 range..

Wix, Weebly, Squarespace if you want simple and quick to get going.

If you want to get a little more technical you could find a host (i.e. DigitalOcean, Linode, etc) and install WordPress on a minimal VPS. Either find a free theme or pay for a premium theme.

If you want a no-fuss Wordpress install, I'd look at using http://oasis.sandstorm.io - There are some caveats but it's pretty straight forward and easy. You can always migrate away if it doesn't work for you. The upside is that its a lot more secure than managing your own server / wordpress install.
