If you recommend SquareSpace and Wix, why not Wordpress.com?

As selfish as this sounds, because then it’s harder to make a clean break, because I’m still a WordPress guy and I can still help, right? I’ve learned that working with super small businesses it can be quite difficult to make money, because my fees are coming out of someone’s household income, which brings with it entirely different working dynamics. A simple example: having to take 5 minutes to explain a 30 minute invoice. Doesn’t sound completely unreasonable until you try to scale it up, at which point you find yourself bleeding to death.
I've found Wix to be painful to use (so slow). Godaddy website builder has been my go to for (very) basic sites these days.
Or Weebly.com
