If saving money is the main criterion try googling “free website”. Then there’s always the option of not having a web presence at all – many projects seem to survive perfectly adequately without. Relying entirely on word of mouth, social advertising platforms, consumer email and other document sharing services … all without paying a bean is viable. OK perhaps not indefinitely and may have its limitations unless the business or project is very part time and is just you.

Startups that have already blown their limited budgets on hiring a website developer, who then ran off without delivering a thing, or your colleague printing 1000s of pointless business cards without realising that the crop marks are not designed to be printed … all too late because they found that obscure online deal that doesn’t check a thing before charging you and sending to print. We all know someone that has been there and done that.

And finally, we all know someone who is a dab hand at all things technical can handle a python without getting into a stricture. They are in such high demand these folk that they can only give you passing advice … that you don’t need to have X or Y, or Z and that with the help of a chatbot you can create your own web presence in a matter of minutes, say you should use ghost or jekyll (both excellent products btw).
