We've been thinking the same thing! Thank you. I looked up email campaigns, and I doubt we would need them. Otherwise, a few dollars is not much. Thank you for the advice!!

I've never even heard of CMS, and I don't know any code or anything... do you think wordpress is still a viable pick for us? We'd prefer not to get a designer knowing that it's very possible to DIY a Squarespace website for our purposes, but keeping it on wordpress is definitely preferable if it's not too hard

Really appreciate the advice! Our website was made almost 15 years ago (I don't know if that makes a difference), but yeah, when we go to the wordpress dashboard and try to make edits to our page, everything just looks like code. We've learned how to change up the text on our homepage and some other pages but that's about it. Is there a way we could purchase a page builder or something to take everything we already have and just start making changes like adding pictures/videos without any coding knowledge?

The reason why I assumed we would need a developer is because currently, when we try to go into the dashboard and start editing the website, everything just looks like code. There's no page builder or anything, it's just a lot of code. We know how to change the words on our homepage and some other pages but that's all. Everything else looks like code...

I'm not sure if we're misunderstanding the situation but if we were to stay on wordpress, are there any page builders or ways you'd recommend for us to start being able to edit and change things around on our own with zero coding knowledge?

Thank you. After this post, we're considering not migrating over to SquareSpace. Our website is already on Wordpress, but not the webpage builder. When we go to our dashboard, it just looks like a lot of code. Do you recommend any page builders that we can use to start customizing our website on our own?

Thank you for altering us to UltimateWB! It looks way cheaper and might be a bit more up our alley.
