Wix or Squarespace - if you want the landing page and a full site in one subscription. Wix (~$17/mo and up, plus a free plan) has more flexibility, more templates, and better built-in business tooling; Squarespace (~$19/mo and up) has fewer but better-looking templates and is a bit easier to use - the better fit for design-forward businesses like wellness, food, or fashion. 7.
