When starting a new website, one of the biggest decisions is which platform to use. Should you go with an easy drag-and-drop builder like Wix or Squarespace, or opt for the powerful flexibility of WordPress? Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you decide.
Website Builders (Wix, Squarespace, etc.)
- Pros: Easy to use, beginner-friendly, includes hosting and templates.
- Cons: Limited customization, can become expensive with add-ons, and difficult to scale for more advanced features.
- Best for: Personal websites, temporary landing pages, or very small businesses with minimal needs.
WordPress (Our Preferred Platform)
- Pros: Open-source, fully customizable, and supported by a massive ecosystem of themes, plugins, and tools.
- Cons: Slightly steeper learning curve if self-managed, but easily managed with professional help.
- Best for: Businesses that want control, scalability, speed, SEO performance, and long-term value.
