Website builder software for service businesses

A service business site needs to explain what you do, look credible and take bookings without a developer. Squarespace starts at $19/mo with hosting, domains and booking built in, and its templates look good untouched. Plugins are limited and cheaper plans charge a transaction fee; WordPress.com starts at $4/mo and is stronger for blogs and SEO.
