Newbie Needs You for Website Advice

[K1Bishop]

hi all,

I know I'm just a newbie here, but I figured someone might be able to help. So, I'll give it a go.

A friend and I have a music business and we are looking for a way to get more people to check out what we offer. We have accounts with social media sites (all the usual and mainstream ones) but we are hoping to also make a professional looking site that customers can refer to. Any thoughts/advice? The website's main function will be to provide information (location, list of services, some pics, etc) so we don't really need too much at the moment, but obviously we want it to appear as professional as possible.

If anyone could help with web hosting recommendations that would be great. I guess I also need to get a domain too. Any info helps.

Hmmm, maybe if I post again someone will see. So I've done a bit more research and I've come up with yet another question. For a website, should I have a domain name and hosting service with the same company? I ask because I've been looking into companies and services and came across one that looks promising in terms of the services they provide. It's called 1and1 (link added in there for reference) and a good friend of mine uses it for his company website and he seems to like it just fine. I'd really like to hear any advice/opinions that people might have about this.

There are many website builders out there. You can make a website yourself. Everything is very simple there.

Hey there! Starting a professional website is a great step for your music business. For web hosting, platforms like Squarespace or Wix are excellent for creating sleek, easy-to-navigate sites without needing coding skills. Both offer templates perfect for showcasing services, locations, and photos. You can also register your domain directly through them or try GoDaddy.
