Thanks Carol. Now that I think about it, a better way to put it might be that many of these tools (i.e. WordPress.org) don’t require *coding or programming* skills. But that’s not the same as not requiring tech skills. They aren’t all designed for a simple user experience, as you are discovering. Let us know what services you end up with. (There are some discounts for some services and hosting packages on our toolkit page.)

I like how you laid out different options for different skill, time, expertise levels. I also appreciated that you stated flat out that WordPress, while fairly easy and intuitive, is not just plug and play with no skill at all, like so many others imply. I agree with you, there’s some “futzing” around required to get everything the way you want it. Not what I expected when I first started because I believed the “no tech skills necessary” stuff I’d read. But I’m glad I learned it (and am learning!) and it’s certainly doable.

I’m working on developing my freelance website now, and have also been involved in developing another website, mostly through trial and error. Your article helps me know what I’ve already done right, and what I need to work on. Thanks!

Thanks Alexandra. Good point. I’m adding to my wishlist/to-do list writing a primer on using Google analytics and tag manager features to level up your marketing chops in ways that are effective at getting more freelance clients.

If any reader wants to helps us out with that reach out to me through the contacts page.

I think you did a great job by making it very brief and straight to the point. I would add that it’s always good to understand the reasons behind bounce rates and know whether users interact with different elements on your site. Those elements can be particular links incorporated in your text, or buttons, forms, and videos. You can track all those user’s interactions with the help of Google Tag Manager, which allows you to track any element on your site without involving a developer. 🙂
