I'm starting a small residential construction company in New Zealand and am looking for a straightforward website builder that's professional yet easy to customize and update. The site needs to support SEO and reflect our branding. The plan is pretty basic: have a homepage with our branding, some construction photos, and a short intro, along with tabs for About Us, Our Services, Completed Projects, DIY Tips, and Contact. We want to keep costs down since we're just starting out but may invest in a custom site later if things go well. I'm currently considering using Wix, but I'd like some input on whether that's the best option. Additionally, can anyone recommend a reliable and affordable domain provider that pairs well with Wix? I'm thinking of something like ournameConstruction.co.nz. We expect low to moderate traffic, probably a few hundred visits per month, maybe up to a few thousand if we're lucky.

Wix is friendly for beginners, but watch out for potential issues like customization limits and slow loading times. It's a hosted builder, so you don’t get to choose your web hosting. You might also want to check out UltimateWB, which is user-friendly, highly customizable, and you can download it, giving you hosting options too.
Just a heads up, Wix will charge you a monthly fee if you want a custom domain. I personally use AI for low-traffic sites and host for free on Vercel. AI can create designs that look professional with minimal effort. If you're up for learning, it might be worth exploring how to utilize AI in your web design!
