That's when I learnt about Pageflow.
Pardon the late reply, I have set up fairly aggressive noprocrast settings which means that I am not always in a position to reply immediately.
Pageflow is especially neat: the pages load fast, the pricing is friendly, and the company can self-host the page. Thank you for taking the time to reply- will be checking this out with my buddy over the weekend.
PetitPrince also provides appealing options, some more noob friendly than the others... I will take the time to download the git repos and see just how successful I can be installing/deploying the code.
All in all, thank you guys for reaching with helpful suggestions.
