Need help finding an easy website for my YouTube channel and freebies

Hey everyone! I’m in the process of creating a website to include in my YouTube profile, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the options out there and could really use some guidance.

Here’s what I’m hoping my site can do:

Email signup: I want to collect emails for subscriptions and future updates.

Shop page: I’d like to offer freebies for now, with the option to add paid digital products later (like printables).
Blog posts: to accompany some of my long-form videos

I’ve used WordPress in the past, but honestly found it really steep and complicated. I’m looking for something that’s user-friendly, affordable, and not overly technical, but still allows me to grow over time.

Has anyone built a similar site and can recommend a platform that fits these needs? I’d love to hear your experiences, what worked well, and what challenges to watch out for.

TIA!
