👉 Which platform to choose for building a website?
I get this question many times.
This is a question that many people struggle with, especially the ones who have never built a website before.
Well, the answer is- it depends. It depends on your needs and your familiarity with the platform.
For e.g, if you have an e-commerce business, you can choose between WordPress and Shopify.
I'll make it even more straightforward, if you don't want the hassle of having your own server(hosting) then go with Shopify. But if you want flexibility, go with WordPress+ Woocommerce. It's the best combination.
But let's say you are a doctor, have a small clinic and want to manage your appointments on your own, then go with Wix or Squarespace. Both are easy to manage and you can offer your services and can take appointments directly from the website. It's also inexpensive.
Now, let's talk about custom-coded websites. This is good for building complex websites or software. But even if you are building software, you can choose any CMS(Content management system) for the Home page, Service page, Blogs etc and build the software on a separate tech stack.
This way managing your website would be easy and also cost effective. Many large websites have been built that way including Razorpay.
So, it really depends on what your needs are and you can choose your platform accordingly.
