I need to update my website, which was done professionally [View all]

on a wordpress platform. Alternatively, I could start from scratch. I am having challenges finding locals to do it, affordably. Every time I try to use a remote website builder it becomes a mess.

How hard is it really to make my own? I have about 4 pages; I provide a service (no sales); I have a few media clips I'd like to update from time to time.

It's the old time / money conundrum. Right now I have more time than money.

TIA!
