So passionate and so convinced that they can never be swayed, you&#8217;ll wish you&#8217;d stayed silent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The same goes for Wix, WordPress, and Squarespace fans. They love their platforms and don&#8217;t believe in any others. They can&#8217;t see why anyone else would ever use another platform and only want to know and love what they have built their website on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Why? Like anything in life, we know what we are comfortable with. We know what works for us. New is scary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">And when we come together with like-minded people (other WordPress or Wix lovers, we collectively love on &#8211; and hate on &#8211; the same things).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">So which platform should your website be built on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Here&#8217;s the truth from the founder of a marketing agency who has built over 200 websites on ALL of the platforms and loves them ALL equally.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Google does not have a preference for any platform over the other. I learned this directly from engineers and Google management when I was AT GOOGLE.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Search engines and website visitors care about the content on your website, how you name your page, label your images, and choose your keywords.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Drop and drag builders are the only user-friendly versions of the other platforms. They <\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">just wanted to reach the market of users who didn&#8217;t know how to code, so they spent time and money creating a drop-and-drag interface for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Being able to edit all areas of your own website by yourself and having complete control of your website is critical.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Your website cannot be a reflection of your consortia or host agency. it has to directly reflect the niche your business is focused on and the audience you want to attract.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The layout of your website needs to be clean and make sense. It has to convince your audience that you are the solution to their needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">The platform that you choose needs to allow you a luxury design. If it doesn&#8217;t offer you <\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">the ability to have a layout with white space, the right fonts, and a sophisticated layout, <\/span><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">it&#8217;s not for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you opt for Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, or another platform, the key is to have the freedom and control to craft a website that mirrors your business&#8217;s niche and resonates with your target audience. Ensure your website&#8217;s layout is clean, intuitive, and persuasive, effectively positioning you as the solution to your audience&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT&#8217;S LIKE THE WAR BETWEEN APPLE AND ANDROID USERS&#8230; YOU&#8217;VE NEVER CONVINCE THEM!
