My business model is about building websites at the lowest possible price to give a fair shake to ALL businesses in the market.  I am using Duda because it works great, and up until today the prices were very reasonable.  However, they just changed the price on my clients and if you are building a business with the same type of mission as mine, I suggest 1)have the client set up their own duda site first so they can haggle with Duda about their prices or at least know what they are getting into or 2) learn another builder that is just as reliable and effective that is more stable on their prices or at least makes sure to take care of that aspect themselves.  My image of a perfect life is making websites, having clients pay for their own hosting and online presence services-- I strictly want to focus on the art of making websites.  

I decided to pay an extra $13 a month for duda site builder, and it's worth it because 1)your website is an advertisement and the faster you put it before your client's eyes, the higher chances of captivating them 2)who has the time to wait around for a website  3)it makes the business look more put together

In WordPress, never ever change the root directory manually because then it’s a headache to get back into WordPress– it’s like setting up your forwarding mailing address to a house that you have already moved out of, that has been torn down and the mailbox was not left standing, so the mailman would have no idea what to do with the mail, why anyone would send it there, or how to let whom know that the mail is in limbo. Look at the pic so you know where never to make changes. I accidentally chose "blog" to be part of WP install-- big mistake number 1! Big mistake 2 (3 times over) was manually changing that.
