Howdy, OT:
I'd like a little professional webpage for myself. Basically just my credentials, contact info, and some articles related to professional topics that I have written. I don't want to spend the $$$ for a web designer at this stage in my career as I don't think it's necessary at this point.
Are there any that you recommend? Can't tell when looking at articles as to whether they are legit reviews or ads. Thanks.
(haven't purchased a domain name yet)

Squarespace. WIX is utter garbage for anything mobile

I see some people using Linkedin + medium for that, it is not a custom web site, but you might want to give it a try.
I may not be an overachiever, but my Druid is richer than half of Venezuela.

Use Bluehost for domain name and host and use Wordpress ( not the blog website itself) for free templates. I'd would recomend that you look up a tutorial on youtube using wordpress add-on for your website.
Also , something people don't mention . Most webhosts ask for money for a whole year so that 3.99 a month price , multiply it by 12 and that's your starting pay for a website.Last edited by Zero3; 2019-01-16 at 10:52 AM.

For what you described, use LinkedIn. Your description fits, almost exactly, what I have on my page.

I'm a software developer so I've made quite a few websites. I use weebly for my blog, but it's very limited and doesn't scale well (although it has some decent looking themes). I've also used Wix, and it's good too, but a bit more hands on. Honestly, I don't recommend either, but it may work for what you need to do.
But honestly, I have a few websites were I built a tiny bit of custom code and host it on an online free server. If you can PM me I can show you examples.

Why a web page over Facebook or LinkedIn?

Because it will become a business website (most likely, clients for private practice) at some point, just not yet.

If it's just a personal website LinkedIn is sufficient and probably better, larger user base, etc. If it's for a future business it is prudent you hire a professional.

Not technically a website builder but it has plugins and theme which will allow you to do it : Wordpress. It can be hosted any where so you won't be forced to chose a specific host, it has the most features due to been open source and honestly its not that hard to use. You can also design the site locally on your own computer and then upload it to your host at a later date.
Quick Edit : Wordpress.org is what you're looking for , wordpress.com is a website hosting company

Thanks all for your suggestions
I have a Wordpress account laying around somewhere and Squarespace seems like a good recommendation. I haven't used my Linkedin account in like a decade.

Just get a GoDaddy Domain name and use something Shopify for your website that is who we use and they are both great companies to work with. Originally Posted by Celista

There's lots of free wordpress themes out there too to pick from.
