We have a Wix website with our rates listed and there never has been a problem.

I have a TS4Rent and Tryst account to advertise myself, but no personal website. I tried building one on Wix before I got blacklisted when I was displaying my rates. One of my escort friends has a website built on Squarespace, but I'm worried about getting banned again. I live in Minnesota, how do I make a personal website safely where I can advertise myself?

Every provider's website lists rates, and many are built on Wix, and they don't get banned or blacklisted.  So I'm confused as to what you mean that you got blacklisted?  Who blacklisted you?  Did the rates describe services?  Providers websites usually warn that rates are for time and companionship only.  Did yours say that?  

Building a site really shouldn't be a problem.  I'm confused.

I remember listing prices under "Dates" and listing my rates for the time I'm booked. The only thing I've described is "dates." I was building that page specifically before I was kicked out randomly. When I try to log back in I get "Your account is blocked." I sent a customer support ticket and was told something along the lines of "can't use website for illegal activity." It happened 2 months ago when I was just starting out so I didn't have anyone experienced in the field to ask for help.

Were the rates spelling out services for money? That would probably get you banned as that is clearly advertising an illegal activity.  

Acronyms (BBBJ, etc.) and euphemisms (Greek) also count. People are not stupid.

I listed my rates under "dates," so that makes since as to why I was banned. I'll see if I can maybe make a new account or go to another website provider like squarespace and list rates non-explicitly. Maybe "companionship"?

Pay for a custom site by a professional. Someone recommended one below.

Having a web presence reassures people that you are somewhat legit as scammers and cops will not spend the time and money to have a website.

you have to follow their rules.  If you build your own website from the ground up, you can say whatever you want about the services you offer and how much you charge.   Many of the providers here have superb websites and in many cases there is a credit somewhere on the sight that says who the designer was.  If you use an experienced designer from the P4P industry, you are likely to have a unique site that looks nothing like the one-size-fits-all ad platforms many are using.  Your web presence was mere seconds to capture someone's interest.  The more unique it is, the better chance you have of holding and furthering that interest.  

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. My website designer has several packages available to for every budget except free.

with, " . . . . every budget except free."   The funny thing is, there have been providers coming here who were looking for "free" ad platforms.  

But I never created my own website. The thing I love about mine is unless I sent in a special request, there isn't any kind of a monthly management fee. It's mine to renew every year.

I personally use cuties. They used to have SUPER shitty customer service but I just got a message that they have new owners. They are headquartered in Amsterdam so fine if you are in the US, you can put whatever you want on your site. They charge $24.99 a month but they now added a yearly rate of $199 that I just signed up for. You select your template and just add whatever info you want. I am not a techy person at all so I would have no idea how to build a website from scratch. Do NOT use a host that is headquartered in the US for any adult advertising. SESTA/FOSTA is still biting consensual sex workers in the ass. Best of luck!!
