Wix and Weebly offer great user
experience in terms of ease of use. Both platforms offer
a SEO
toolkit, site statistics and the ability to
add Google Analytics code.
Weebly sites are automatically mobile
friendly without having to build an extra website. If you want to export your website (for
peace of mind or use elsewhere), Weebly allows you to
take your website with you. None of these features are
provided by Wix.
One of the biggest complaints about Wix
is that once you choose a template, you can't change it.
If you do opt to switch your template, you have to start
from scratch. As for Weebly, changing between template
designs is a simple. Just click on the template you want
to use, and all your website content will automatically
be transferred into the new template. No information
will be lost, which is very convenient.
WordPress is the most popular platform that can
create everything from simple blog sites to
full-featured, multi-page websites. WordPress is used by
more than 18.9% of the top 10 million websites. One of the biggest
advantages to WordPress is that it is very customizable:
there are countless templates and themes and is very
extensible through many third party plug-ins.
You can edit PHP, HTML, CSS,
run ads, and make the site look as professional as you
want.
WordPress is legendary for being easy to learn and use.
People with very little web knowledge can pick it up
fairly easily. There are plug ins and themes available
to help web developers provide just about everything,
from eCommerce functionality to
an online gallery. And because there are lots of themes
to choose from, if design isn’t your strong point, it
can help to get you started.
Because WordPress is constantly being updated by lots of
people, WordPress websites are popular with the main
search engines, particularly Google; it just eats up
WordPress websites. WordPress websites can often rank
well even if they are fairly new with little effort,
which is a big bonus for small businesses. There are
even SEO plug ins which help you make your site even
more effective.
