Usually, yes, anyone can make a decent-looking website without paying for a designer or professional software. If you’re a total beginner and a bit of a technophobe, you may struggle to pull off a slick design by yourself. However, online guides make the process a lot less difficult than you might think. What you should be aware of is that free website builders contain the provider name in the domain name (web address). This means that should you want to promote your business, it may not look very professional if your website is called “grandarchitects.wixsite.com/grand-architects”. So you should consider the cost of buying a custom domain name, which usually costs $9-25 per year. However, this could run into the thousands if you choose a competitive name.
