My Google for work subscription comes with Google Sites.
I just wacked something together and published.
MyCo's website has been useful on one occasion when I needed to open a business money exchange account. The forex company would only deal with "businesses" if they had a website. Yeah, weird but true.

If it's just a general informative site to give your company an online presence (about us / skillset / services / contact us etc) then why not just use some hand-coded HTML?
It's all I've done for ours and it does the job.

It may be that Mediawiki isn't be best platform for the job, I set the site up using that partly because I wanted to learn more about how MediaWiki works and is put together, and partly because I thought "why not?"

Examples of how good you are (providing you are good, of course!) don't hurt. I was asked once by a colleague why I put code samples on their because I might do myself out of a job. The answer is that if all it takes to solve the problem is a little bit of code that I think so little of I'll give it away, it's probably not the kind of role I want anyway.

If you have a hosted site, why would you need any cloud storage - can't you just put the files on your site? That's what I do for the documents and code samples that I want to make available.

I have hosting for my personal site, and my hosting contract allows me to set up different sites under different domains.

I've thought about using some online cloud storage thing but can't guarantee I'd have access to it from any future client's site.
The site I've got contains the info I want it to have, but since it's just a wiki it looks plain and boring.
Do you have a website for your business, and if so what have you put on it?

I think you need to revisit your requirements before spending any time/money on it.
