Small business owners - IT advice

alexisemma31 · 3 May 20, 05:23 PM

I work in education and am thinking of setting up my own business from September.

I just want a basic website to start with. Has anyone done this and which webbuilder site did you use?

Also how do I get an email address so it uses the business name e.g. janedoe@thedibb.co.uk and not @yahoo.co.uk if you know what I mean.

Any advice welcomed!

I've heard good things about Squarespace which should do for a basic website.

When you buy your domain (e.g. yourwebsite) it will come with an email address, or at least give you the ability so you can have yourname@yourwebsite.com.

If Squarespace doesn't give you the option to buy a domain, you can always look at Namescheap (or even just to compare prices)

Edit: I've set up a few websites before if you have any specific questions later on
