Read the guideBecause most of what is written about this is written to sell you something.
Search anything about small business websites and you will mostly find articles designed to make you feel behind, followed by a form. We would rather write the thing we would want to read if we ran a garage.
So these guides include the bits that do not help us. When you do not need a website. When a freelancer is a better fit than an agency. What questions to ask us that we would rather you did not.
