Dotty Scott compares website platforms for growing businesses. WordPress gives you ownership and room to expand, but Wix and Squarespace are simpler to use and charge monthly fees. Pick based on whether you want control or convenience.
not all platforms offer that as a solution. And so as your business grows, you'll find that you'll want things that aren't available in a basic platform. And that's where thinking ahead and really planning your business out and kind of thinking about all the possibilities of what you might like to do, which It can be a stretch, I know, because as we grow, our changes and wants and desires change. But in the beginning, choosing a platform that isn't restrictive is why I have— why most of my clients get set up in WordPress. There are a few exceptions. Most of the, like, Wix and Squarespaces out there they're not super expandable. And again, if you, if all you need is what they offer, they're super easy to use. They do have a, a monthly or annual amount that you pay based on the features that you choose to use. And the other, what I consider a drawback is that ultimately you don't really own that website. That company does.
