Hey guys, my small roofing company is co-owned and currently relies on word-of-mouth for work. We’re looking to shift our focus and start advertising, so we need a platform that offers both a website builder and an email address. I’ve looked into options like Squarespace, Google, Wix, and GoDaddy, but with so many choices, I’m unsure which is the best or easiest to use.
Do you have experience with these or other similar services? What are their pros and cons? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here Is a quick rundown of popular website builders that also provide email services:
Wix is user-friendly with a drag-and-drop editor, offering over 900 templates and strong SEO tools. However, it only offers 500MB of storage on the free plan, and ecommerce features start at $29/month.
Squarespace has modern templates and good SEO tools, but its higher cost and learning curve might be challenging for beginners.
GoDaddy is known for quick setup and includes features like email marketing, but it has limited design flexibility and higher costs for advanced features.
Google Sites integrates well with Google services and is free, but it lacks customization and professional design options.
Weebly is easy to use and affordable, making it good for small online stores, though it has fewer templates and features compared to Wix and Squarespace.
Each platform has its pros and cons, so your choice should depend on what matters most for your business.

Hostgator is part of EIG, and it’s best to avoid it.
Any of the hosting options listed on the sidebar would work well for your website.
