<p> Wix is pretty bad. They attract you with sweet looking designs and low prices, but their websites aren't functional. They load slow, SEO is tough, and you can't view them on iPads or iPhones because they're Flash based. That's a huge issue considering how many people look at websites on their mobile devices. Customer service sucks and they want all your monthly payments up front.</p>
<p> If you're looking for an affordable solution, I'd suggest Homestead.com or SetMySite.com.</p>
<p> Homestead is only $10 a month, and they allow you to build your own website with templates. It's html-based, so you can view their websites easily on mobile devices. They're running a special right now where it's only $5 a month for the first 3 months. I think they also require all the monthly payments up front, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p> If you don't like the idea of templates or building the site yourself, setmysite will build your site from scratch for $30 a month. It's a little more expensive than Homestead, but they build it for you, update it for you every month, and host it as well. They do not require monthly payments to be made upfront. They're payments are month to month with no contract.</p>
<p> Hope that helps. Good luck with your photography site!</p>
