I like SquareSpace, but it's quite expensive and the cheapest option doesn't allow basic things such as embedding iframes.
Got a tip for us?

I use Wordpress. It's essentially 'drag and drop', and does everything for you from the domain name and hosting to deploying the updates you make to the site.
If you pay for their mid-level package which IIRC is ~£7 a month, then you get all their templates included that you can easily swap between whenever you choose.

When I try to launch new website usually I use PHP, MySql and HTML. After that, is so important to do website monitoring and check your webiste on errors.
Knowing HTML and CSS is great but it won't be enough to build and maintain an online shop. If you want to spend a lot of time learning what's needed to build, maintain and secure something then it might be worth it. If not do yourself a favour and use something like Shopify.
People saying it's easy to use WordPress (self hosted, not the .com offering) or heaven forbid to use Magento, are possibly forgetting the level of knowledge required as it's second nature to them.
If you're dealing with payment data and you aren't confident, use a third party service that includes hosting of the service.

just 'vi' as editor... written in vi (self made, backend uses python to render static html pages, rss feeds, comments, etc.), content managed in vi...
On this topic I asked In the IPad forum but no-one seems to know. Let me rephrase here. I use WordPress. But my Mac may he on its last legs and for space reasons am reconsidering Ipad after reading about the new non mobile OS.
Wordpress users with IPads? Until now on Ipads Wordpress.org editing via the dashboard was unpleasant due to limitations of mobile browser. Especially Gutenberg was partially unusable. Block covered by previous block on Iphone.
New Ipad OS promises desktop-like browser. Has anyone tested the functionality of editing Wordpress in the new Ipad OS? And would it be different on non Safari browsers?
Am considering IPad vs other tablets. Do not want to use apps but full browser dashboard.
Anyone have good or bad experiences with Ipad Pro. Also, do any non Apple tablets like Microsoft Surface Pro 6 or 7, or Android hardware work well with Word Press? Again, not the app but in-browser Wordpress?
thanks

I have been using squarespace for quite 4 years or more. Pretty good, but my usage is still limited for registration and news update for parents (preschool). For my personal, I used Ghost, hosted in DigitalOcean. Very easy, fast, stable and the price is very justified.
