Site for my business

I have small consulting agency, and I understand that I need good website for my clients. I found the freelancer and he tell me that it will cost around $1500. Than I found another variant, it is to use professional theme for creation, for example from templatemonster - https://www.templatemonster.com/ there are many good templates and themes. I like something like this - https://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/63375.html it is theme for WP. How do you think it is good chose? And another question, can I make all this work by myself? Or I need to find some help?

    Emmet,

    The best thing that happened to me and my 5 yr old small business was Broadly.  They can build a website, drive new customers, build feedback from those customers and post to Yelp, NextDoor, Google Business...

     

    So much less than any web designer I ever met, and great customer service.  No pressure sales!

    It is amazing to see what the "cut and paste" site builders are now able to do.  I built my website on Weebly way back in 2010.  Since then, the options have improved so much! I get regular compliments on how good my site looks and how easy it is to engage.  I suggest that those new to site building check out Weebly as it is even easier to use than Wordpress.

    I'm a bit late to this, but WordPress is an excellent platform for a website. I suggest using a professional to get you started, but if you put in some time, it's something you can easily learn to update yourself.

     

    The price is a bit high, there are pleanty of excellent WordPress developers that could help you for much less.

    Creating a website yourself using an already-made template may not be too dificult, however there's more to a website than just the design. You would need to consider getting a reliable host, SEO, custom features etc. I run a [link removed by moderator - please see our community rules of the road], & I'm certain you can get custom full-featured website for half that price.
