I'm looking for advice on how to help my son, who just started a charter fishing company in Alaska, create a website. He's busy running the business and is struggling with the website on his own. Since I'm retired and somewhat tech-literate, I'd like to pitch in. If you had to suggest a platform for someone with little experience, maybe something simple to medium in complexity, what would you recommend?

If you're feeling adventurous, you could learn a bit of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s really not as daunting as it seems, and you could make a basic landing page yourself! Just find a reliable hosting service to get you started.
Honestly, for a charter fishing company, WordPress could be your best bet. It's easy to set up and you can find all the basic features you'll need. If you're interested in learning a bit more, consider taking a web development course on Udemy to really understand it better.
WordPress is great for getting started; tons of tutorials out there!
If you're just after a landing page, I'd recommend using site builders like Wix. They're pretty user-friendly and can get you set up quickly.
For something super simple, you could also try lovable.ai. It lets you create landing pages easily and publish them with just a few clicks. But if you want more functionalities like payment options, you might need to invest some time learning or hire a web developer.
Wix or Squarespace are solid choices too. They make designing easy and have built-in tools for payment processing if that becomes necessary.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into WordPress and the course.
