Picking A Website Builder For Your Small Business
Head to Head Product Comparison, Online Presence
When it comes to building your website, there are a lot of different options out there, and many decisions to make around functionality and price. Often times, especially for smaller businesses, a simple yet functional website will be ideal as they are usually affordable and easy to set up. Tools like what we offer and WordPress are two great examples of website builders that fit these criteria, and we will compare them based on their functionality, usability, pricing, and offered support.
When choosing a website builder, it is essential to consider the website builder functionality. You can usually tell how easy a site builder will be to use based on the design interface and the icons.
Ck2design provides a smooth, inline drag-and-drop editor which means there is no need to waste time or resources messing around with code.
However, you can of course still get under the hood and dig into the HTML and CSS within our developer mode, if you want. Ck2design clients have reported a massive decrease in time spent on web development, which has allowed them to focus more on project management and the many other operations of the company.
Regarding Widget Building, Ck2design's widgets stand out due to their quantity and ease of use. Whether it’s a click to call, menu, coupon, business hours, etc.; It only takes only a second to install one of these on the drag and drop interface.
WordPress builders or templates, but it’s not as simple or common as you might think. These are usually prebuilt sections with no design requirements.
WordPress gives you access to thousands of different templates. This gives you a lot of options, which can be great for making your website look different from others. However, you have to find and pay for these templates which can get expensive.
WordPress comes with a learning curve, and it may take you longer to learn how to use it compared to Ck2design.
I’m not just talking about how to create a new page or blog post, but the other things that go into it like:
Learning curve aside, the most common issue with WordPress is that designing a site with it is tough. While there are page builders out there that make this easier, if you’re not a web designer, adding those little touches to a website is not going to be easy. If you do decide to go the route of using a page-builder, just know that these also come with a learning curve. So no matter what, you’ll have to learn a lot before you can design anything.
The functionality of a website builder is essential to the successful operation of the site. If a builder is poorly laid out or too hard to understand, your company’s website might not come out working the way it needs to. Because of this, our platform ranks as a more simplistic and easy to learn website builder.
