Squarespace is a hosted CMS. And for simple websites, Squarespace is usually very difficult to beat: it allows us to more quickly and inexpensively create beautiful and easy-to-maintain websites, gives you access to award-winning customer support, SSL certificates are automatically included on websites, and likely has all of the functionality you need - for a low rate (usually $10 - $16/mo). By signing up for Squarespace through us, you save 20% on your first year's subscription.

Squarespace is fully-responsive, so it looks great on modern devices/browsers, including mobile. It supports a ton of functionality: photo galleries, video, payments, eCommerce, blogging, contact forms, etc. It also makes it easy to utilize other software/widgets for things like live chat and appointment booking + payments.

They also have a great help center with how-to videos and articles all in one place. 

There are never any updates to make to templates or plugins - everything just works correctly after you set it up.
