What do you guys think about the advantages and disadvantages of using WIX compared to hosting your own website? Do you reckon it’s tougher for WIX sites to hit the first page on Google? And what about SEO – is it a headache on WIX? If it is, what’s the top-notch platform for crafting and hosting a website for a small fashion startup? I’ve been diving into how WIX sites might struggle with SEO due to their JavaScript foundation and fewer SEO optimization options. I want to nail down all these details before committing to a platform for my clothing brand. So, what’s the deal with hosting my own site versus going with a CRM like WIX?
Totally agree, steer clear of Wix. It seems to cater to those who want a quick and cheap solution without really investing in a proper online presence. It’s like they assume everyone can use Microsoft Word and building a website on Wix is as simple as typing a document. Then they hit you with all these additional “features” and hefty monthly fees. For web developers, Wix is a nightmare due to its limitations.
Even if you opt for hosting elsewhere, WordPress offers a lot more flexibility and has a robust ecosystem to support your needs.
And the crucial part is, you have the freedom to take your files with you and host them wherever you want, rather than having to copy and paste your photos and text into a different “builder” if you decide to switch platforms.
