What's the Best Website Builder for You?
Many of our clients are looking for simple website solutions with enough creative control to meet their online goals. While we create marketing campaigns that are unique to every client, website building platforms are a great, affordable way to get started. Here are WDM’s top picks for our clients:
Weebly
Wurthmann Digital Marketing recommends Weebly’s Website Builder for any client that is new to the website game and is looking for a simple website. It is easy to use, has good online support, and has plenty of fail safes to prevent anyone from making their website crash or look sloppy. It is also the cheapest option.
Cost:
$5/month to use your own domain (what your website is called) when you subscribe for 1 year
$0 if you don’t want your own domain
Wix
Wix gives you the most control over your website at the best cost. It’s a great choice for anyone with an eye for graphic design to make their website a unique, compelling experience without large fees. However, it’s easier to make mistakes using the Wix platform.
Cost:
$11/month to use your own domain when you subscribe for 1 year
$0 if you don’t want your own domain and agree to have Wix ads on your website
Squarespace
Squarespace is great for content-heavy sites or if you plan on changing the template (what the website looks like) frequently or regularly. However, they are not as intuitive as a platform for beginners. If you make a mistake, there is no backup provided to rectify it and you may end up working from scratch. It is also more expensive of the three top website builders that WDM recommends.
Cost:
$12/month when you subscribe for 1 year (domain control included)
$18/month for more than 2 admin logins (who can access the website)
