​
I would like to publish 2 sites, however I have very limited options. First of all I know nothing about coding and from my research I understand that it wouldn’t be fruitful just to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript and python to publish a personal project. Secondly, I live in Turkey and options like squarespace don’t have regional pricing, therefore they are extremely expensive compared to services with regional pricing like [wordpress.com]) and Wix.
Site 1 will be about the services I provide as a Psychotherapist, possibly with a blog and video displayer. I would like to be able to drive as much traffic as possible via google searches on relevant words.
Site 2 will be about e-commerce. Basically a shirt store where I would take payments. Google traffic is a necessity too but a functional commerce site is the main idea where I can direct people from instagram etc.
Also I would like to be able to offer 2 languages for both sites. Preferably automatically directing based on IP or system language, or however it usually is done.
Now all these are personal projects so I don’t really have a budget as I do for some other projects I am also involved in where we have hired developers to create a custom CMS and all. Therefore I would like something simple, however I don’t mind a learning curve so long as it isn’t as steep as actually learning several coding languages. In summary, I would like to be able to publish these sites in the next few months.
From what I understand my options are [wordpress.com]), [wordpress.org]) and Wix. I have already purchased the relevant domains from namecheap.
Given the information, what do you think would be more suitable? I’ve heard a lot of people trash Wix, so I am leaning more towards wordpress but the org one seems much harder than the com one since I need to find hosting and all.
Looking forward to your suggestions.

If you have zero tech knowledge, go with Wix. WordPress.org requires an above avg level of knowledge as you need to manage performance, security, backups, etc.
I would steer clear of hosting via WordPress.org or WordPress.com. Plenty of inexpensive hosting out there and you can learn how to set up and build a website using WordPress by watching a few YouTube videos. Wix is easy I’m not a fan. You could also consider Elementors new hosting and website builder package if a beginner. However using a decent inexpensive host and using the free Kadence theme along with the free Kadence blocks plugin will allow you to build beautiful and fast loading sites. The learning curve isn’t much. YouTube videos will show you how.
