NFT: Website - Blog Advice Needed

Your only monthly cost is to host it. There are many affordable web hosts that offer "1 click WordPress install" as well.

There are loads of free/open source plugins, code examples, and a massive community of developers online. You can most certainly find cheap help if you're not a programmer yourself.

yeah I am not a programmer and not even sure where to look.

First of all, the software itself is free. Free as in no cost and free as in freedom.

With a lot of the other content platforms, stuff like Wix, Weedly, Squarespace, etc. you're locked into their platform.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. I'm teaching a WordPress for Beginners class on the 24th if you're on Long Island.

There are a number of ways you can go about it. Definitely talk to Gary to get some additional info.

Aside from Gary, you can check out websites like Freelancer, Fiverr, Upwork, etc. These sites allow you to post a job and request bids from developers/designers who can work with you. These sites are known for having very low rates, but you'll get what you pay for.

The nice thing with WordPress is you can always just get something functional and working and find someone else to help you upgrade and improve on the design.

Another avenue to try is sites like Craigslist, developers will advertise their services or you can post a listing looking for a WordPress developer.

if you dont have a place to host it, both options should give you that as well but that has monthly costs depending on the popularity of your site.

that's totally free....but don't forget you'll need to pay for a host, as well as domain name (cheap/one time per year).

I have built six or seven sites over the last seven years for relatively large organizations (not-for-profits etc) and have been able to find a way to do everything I need. I have picked up some CSS over the years to add absolute customization but in the main, that is just because I am particular from a design point of view.

Can not recommend it highly enough.
