    Hello everyone, this is my first post on here and I'm seekeing some help. I'm new to building websites and so I don't know how to code and maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

    I'm starting a Home Cleaning business and I now need a website. Wix looks like it has everything i need like sign in profiles, good looking themes and easey to use. They don't seem to have the key thing which is customizing your package. Ex- 1 bedroom 1bathroom, price $0.00. 1 bedroom 3 bathrooms price $0.00 etc..

    Also subscriptions, one time, weekly, minthly etc..

    I would like the customer to customize exactly what they need, add it to the cart & pay.

    Myclean.com is very similar customization that I'm looking to do.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    WIX is a toybox for school kids to pretend they are web developers. A real business website has no place on anything with the limited offering you get from them.

    if you are going to put your business on a website and expect to have it generate profitable contacts and orders then you need a profession site that can compete against everyone else selling the same or related products and services.

    Two ways to do that you spend some time learning web development basics, and build it yourself (not much better than using WIX or other free web builder tools), or your hire a professional to build it for you.

    To have all that functionality you'd probably have to hire someone to build it for you.

    Maybe start a little simplier? Im sure you could build a nice little informational website using wix or similar tools.

    Hi! Instead of using Wix, you can use WordPress but since you dont have any knowledge yet on building sites, why dont you hire people to do it for you?

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I wanted to be informed before I go out and hire someone to build this for me.

    Vselluk,

    I looked up PHP web frameworks recently, and found laravel to be one of the more popular ones. How does laravel compare against Django/Ruby on Rails?
