Congrats on taking the next step in your new endeavor as an inspector. How you proceed from here really depends on your abilities and how much time that “You” want to spend building a website. If you have the time, you may want to invest some of that time into building your website and save a few bucks. You will be asked to generate the content for your site anyway! “Make it Stand Out” this is “Your brand”.
I would suggest that you purchase the hosting, template and domain name. This gives you control over your website. Spend some time looking at templates, then pull the trigger. Wish you all the best!

You guys it’s great that your linking together but remember what’s also very important is that you link to the big dogs. NACHI, HIP, HG, ISN and any other website that gets hit hard and is ranked well. Also remember to change you content every once in awhile and a new pic or two. And make sure your site is SEO for instance…
use <h1> tags for page headings, and <h2> for section headings… more to it than that 
PS… Logo is very important to any business. It represents you. Look long and hard before making any decisions as to go free or not.
