I am building a product called Triangulate ( http://triangulate.io ) that would work for you. It is an open-source site builder (or CMS) built in AngularJS. I provide a hosted service, plus, the app is completely open source so it can grow with your business.

Oh, thank god. These look great. This one looks amazing: http://themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-t... is this kind of drag and drop page layout common nowadays? I feel like I'm going to have to buy you all a beer. I've got my own webserver, so my inclination is to try to install it there because it's there... it sounds like it might be much more sane to host it elsewhere though? Is there a benefit…

Thanks so much for the advice! My primary concern with Wordpress is that it has been around long enough that it could actually be harder to set up because of out of date tutorials, and that I've been told it's got a lot of security issues. I also have a vague horrible memory of trying to install it in 2006 or 2007 and it being a disaster to customize... but I don't want to hold that against it in 2014. On the other h…
These days, Wordpress is quite secure for most uses - especially a simple corporate site. Here's how I'd go about it- 1. Buy theme from themeforest or similar. 2. Buy a shared hosting account from webfaction or similar (less than $10/month) 3. Use their one-click Wordpress installer to install Wordpress 4. Install theme in Wordpress install.

If you don't have the $1k to pay a designer, do you have money to host the site?
Make a simple static website, maybe even a site-builder like wix. Backup your content (the text and pictures) and don't rely too much on trendy graphics - they'll go out of fashion in 2 years anyway.
If you are that busy, please don't create a Wordpress site with plugins and themes. They are hacked very often - the extensions, php and wordpress itself are vulnerable and have to be updated often to stay safe. Make a simple static website, maybe even a site-builder like wix.

Avoiding Themeforest themes because of security concerns: no.

I'm sure I could outsource to the internet and get a better "deal", but that makes me very uncomfortable. I know that's not always rational, but basically I trust myself to put in whatever time it takes to make it meet my needs, so long as the tools are available.
