Some friends have websites. I encourage them to do. But they have them only to publish contact info, opening times, and a couple of photos of their business. What would be the best fediverse platform for this? Of course being able to post/toot news every now and then, is also a good feature.

I'm not sure that there is any point in a fediverse platform. That implies you want interaction (e.g. comments) from other locations, and therefore need moderation etc. A local blog site with 'share to Mastodon' buttons (if they exist) is probably all that's needed.

Yes. could be. I am trying to promote the fediverse as much as possible so maybe I am overly doing it. What about just a minimal ethical/privacy friendly hosted service to put your data on? people use facebook or instagram, but they really could do with something so much lighter.

create a simple landing home page with business info then, either self host or create accounts related to the business on fediverse services; use them for interaction, branding, advertising etx. link those social media accounts on the website home page.

@ziby0405 @geoma Mmm so, you envision something that is on website as an "official presence online" and then also a separate account on Mastodon and things for social media purposes?
I mean, it makes sense. At the end of the day, even current mainstream businesses have a website and Instagram accounts for things, so yes.
