We've come a long way since the typewriter days, and web-building software is ever-evolving. There are many options, but should you choose one of the do-it-yourself website builders or hire a designer who knows the right tool for your needs and can develop it to solve your problems? Here are some top choices and our thoughts on each one.

WordPress

WordPress is a powerful tool, and 30% of all online content is created in WordPress, but WordPress was created for blogs, not small businesses. They use plug-ins, which can become unstable and will break. 

Wix

Wix Claims to be an easy-to-use cloud-based website builder that uses drag-and-drop tools. It uses templates. Its drawbacks are that it may be challenging to get your website found without paying a high price, as their SEO tools leave much to be desired.

SquareSpace

It is known for its modern, sleek designs that offer a variety of custom options. And it offers an e-commerce option for those who want to sell online. It also has a deep learning curve and limited flexibility for customization. 

Shopify

Shopify is a popular e-commerce option that allows users to create an online store, and it is a good choice if you want a website specifically for an online shop. Shopify has limits if you are looking to create a website for your business. It does not have the customization tools that a company may want for its website.

Duda

Duda's website builder provides users with a wide range of tools using a drag-and-drop interface that is easy to use, and that works seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and phones. It also uses an advanced e-commerce feature that is easy for customers to manage. Its SEO tools and content management are easily learned, making it a convenient solution for website design and ongoing management.  

Webflow

Webflow is a powerful web design tool that allows websites to be designed and published without code. It offers a drag-and-drop interface that can be optimized for various devices. The platform uses advanced features and can have an e-commerce integration. The to Webflow is that it can be rather pricy for smaller businesses and has a steep learning curve.


In Conclusion

A website designer stays up to date with the latest trends and techniques. When developing websites, your website expert will understand the top web design principles and how to stay ahead of the completion to provide a seamless experience for your users. One of The EZ Web Solutions abilities is to be able to use technology to solve some of your business problems, making your website not only a marketing tool but a business tool as well.
