easiest website builder wordpress

Any business, artist, or public figure who wants a serious online presence usually starts their journey by building an official website that people can visit.

Until some years ago, website building wasn’t as easy as it is now. Instead of hiring a professional to create one, people now have the privilege of online services that let you DIY it. Just invest some money and a little time, then hey presto! You’ll have a website in no time.

 

 

But which is more cost-effective in the long run? Let’s look at the various options we have.

Website Building Apps
Website building services or apps such as Wix or Weebly are priced low and remain fairly easy for a technology beginner to understand if you want to build your website yourself. They offer quick, handy guides on how to navigate the ship and are good for those who are just starting to roll out their business idea, with limited capital in hand.

Nevertheless, in the good fortune that your business or project takes off, you’ll have to add more information as the online traffic demands. That’s when these apps might lose their charm because they won’t be capable of handling a lot of data. You might run into frequent glitches or be unable to update features for your business to run smoothly.

 

Professional and Autonomous Sites
Here’s the option that requires a professional or a team of professionals to build your website from scratch. The best part about starting from square one is that there are no limitations. The possibilities are endless.

You can make a change whenever you feel is necessary and customize it to your heart’s content. It also allows for autonomy, keeping data from being managed by another company. This obviously requires more capital than building it yourself and budget for website management and maintenance.

 

WordPress
WordPress is one of the best alternatives for those who know a little about technology and want to control changes to their website themselves but require a professional web designer to do the actual build-out and customizations. It’s like running your car – you can change the oil or a tire yourself but you need a car mechanic to diagnose and fix any issues of something that was built professionally.

Many start-ups begin their entrepreneurial journey with WP, especially e-commerce or digital media companies. The interface is built for those with moderate interest and knowledge of HTML, so if you require any customization it’s easy to make it happen. WordPress does require you to find a web host which many web designers also offer as a service.

 

What’s the better bet? 
Each of them have an existing audience and will continue to do so in the future. Yet, if one were to weigh all the pros and cons taking into consideration ease of access and control, a professionally built website is the best option.

There are several reasons why letting a professional build your business’ or personal website is beneficial:

  • Custom or semi-custom made website
  • Full control of data and information
  • Handled by a technical expert, not an amateur
  • Easy to make changes
  • Constant site monitoring and updating

We live in a world where data is valuable, so it is best to ensure that it’s in safe hands. Easily built sites tend to have a weak skeleton due to easy coding and remain vulnerable to hackers and malware. Websites created by Abacus Web Services allow you to take strong security measures and prevent data manipulation or theft. Prevention is always better than cure. Your professional website designer will agree.
