Wordpress is a popular and open source CMS which can help you build a website for your business. It’s free to use but you will require hosting and often a theme. It’s often better to hire someone to set it up for you as there is a steep learning curve.
However, creating content and adding content to your website is the easy part.
The one advantage wordpress has over Wix is it is great for a blog. The major disadvantage is there is no support if something goes wrong.
