Choosing the Right Website Platform for Your Business

While WordPress is certainly a powerful platform, we specialize in building websites on Wix, Squarespace and Shopify because we've found they offer significant advantages for most small and medium-sized businesses, especially when it comes to long-term success and ease of use.

Why we recommend Wix for most clients:

Wix is designed with the everyday business owner in mind. After launch, you'll be able to easily update content, add new pages, and make changes without needing technical expertise or calling a developer every time. Think of it like the difference between driving an automatic vs. manual transmission car – both will get you where you need to go, but one is much more user-friendly for daily use.

Our service options:

Currently managing 5 active Wix websites with capacity for a couple more clients. We offer two approaches:

• Full ongoing management - We handle everything from design through long-term maintenance

• Design + launch - We get your site designed and running, then train you to take over management shortly after launch
  

Ongoing support you can count on:

Beyond the initial build, we provide comprehensive post-launch support including training on how to manage your site, troubleshooting assistance, and guidance on updates and improvements. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident managing your online presence.

Platform Comparison Guide:

Wix - Hosted/SaaS Platform Like renting a fully furnished apartment - everything is provided and maintained for you. Hosting, security updates, backups, and technical infrastructure are all handled by Wix.

Shopify - Hosted E-commerce Platform Similar to Wix but specifically built for online stores. Like having a fully equipped retail space where you just stock products and customize the storefront.

WordPress - Self-Hosted CMS Like buying land and building your own house. Complete control and flexibility, but you're responsible for hosting, security, updates, backups, and maintenance.

Key Differences:

• Control vs. Convenience: WordPress offers unlimited customization but requires technical management. Wix/Shopify handle the technical aspects with some customization limitations.

• Cost Structure: WordPress can be cheaper initially but may require more investment in development and maintenance. Wix/Shopify have predictable monthly fees with everything included.

• Technical Requirements: WordPress requires ongoing technical maintenance. Wix/Shopify require minimal technical knowledge.
