In this episode of the Life Improvement Media blog, we’re talking websites. And not just for the heck of it. In case you’ve missed all our weekly social media posts, we’re giving away a FREE website to one lucky winner who enrolls in our promotional giveaway. Your name and your email are all you need to enter to win. In case you missed the link, it can be found right here. We’re covering the conversation on education about which websites are better: those plug-and-play DIY (“do it yourself”) websites or working with a developer.
Don’t Judge A [Website] By Its Cover
Looks Aren’t Everything
Yes, some of the more popular, less expensive, do-it-yourself options do have beautiful designs. Beautiful … templates, rather. There’s nothing wrong with templates, though.The challenge is that you’re quite limited with the design you choose. What happens if you select a template, build it out and then need to change a few modules or a page? You can’t change just a few things and be finished. Inevitably, you will be forced to change your template choice if you want to alter the design. Changing your design means starting over and putting all the information back into new, different sections. You’re essentially putting a limit on your creativity with strict templates from free or DIY websites. Just so you know, WordPress has templates to choose from too–hundreds in fact. They too are beautiful and come filled with demo content so you can get a feel for how your content would look on the live pages.
Websites: It’s What’s On The Inside That Matters
Cliche number three. It even applies to websites. Here’s what separates the men from the boys; the women from the girls, the business professionals from the business amateurs, and the trusted from the distrusted. The back end.
Concluding Thoughts
WordPress. That is all. Whether you go with us, go with another team, or do it yourself and risk the uncharted waters, WordPress is a no-brainer. The designs, the flexibility, the value in non-limited SEO and the price difference is all you need.
