Should I use website builders like Wix, GoDaddy or Squarespace?
Website builders have been around since the 90's and have improved since then but the same problems still exist. Here is a small list of them:
- Websites developed using website builders are going to be slower and not rank as well on Google.
- You are very, very limited to what you can do on them. You must stay within their framework and if they do offer special features be prepared to pay extra for them.
- You don't own your website. They do. You cannot move it to another platform without redesigning it.
- The last but most important problem is you're not a web designer. Inserting photos and changing colors doesn't make you a web designer. The pink font on a purple background may look fancy to you but your visitors won't like it.
Hiring a professional web designer will always be the best route for your business to grow. Scott Botkins develops all websites on WordPress which is limitless and ensures you own your website 100%.
