Website building tool that features site organization, drag and drop widgets, web publishing and social sharing used by small businesses, non profits.
Anyone creating or requiring a modern web presence.
The annual price to do so is the best on the web in my opinion for this. There are excellent templates for beginners as well as HTML widgets for the more experienced designer.
But you get what you pay for. The site building features are limited and primitive.
The user-friendly platform and step-by-step guidance allowed me to bring my vision to life effortlessly. What impressed me most was the exceptional customer care.
Limited in the number of integrations with other software.
Yola offers good and comprehensive tools for someone like me not particularly skilled in website building. And most especially their support is rapid, friendly and very effective.
I found that this website builder was old fashions and just more difficult to work with in comparison to Wix.
They were always there to help with any questions or issues, even after I published my site. YOLA has become a reliable friend, supporting me in my venture.
Most recently I chose the least expensive plan, and was disappointed to discover that it did not allow use of HTML or Google Verification and Tracking.
Wordpress is great because you have everything needed to build a great website right out of the box. It's very simple but allows for content management and has a nice development framework.
Sometimes there is the occasional time where you may have a critical error. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you don't backup your website and then you update and it all goes away.
My experience using Wordpress has been super great in building a good-looking website in only really a few hours. The Wordpress plugins are also a really great implementation.
Extremely inconvenient for first-time users. Heavily text-based and can be confusing for learners to navigate through it.
It is super nice that you can turn a free website to what you want. I also like the fact that developers can make money either setting up websites for companies or designing and coding layouts.
Defective plugins can be a problem when using Wordpress. In some cases, plugins can slow down the performance of a website, and sometimes become a gateway to a hacking attack.
From my own experience, using the free version of the program, you will be able to do wonderful things. This program is for people who like the simple software, elegant and efficient.
WordPress sites are vulnerable to hacking, attacks and spamming and often you only learn this once you've been attacked. More should be done for security.
Jonathan T.: Hi, I'm Jonathan. I am the owner of a creative and web design studio, and my review of WordPress is that it's five stars. Prior to WordPress, boy, I have used all sorts of different things. Different builders built into other platforms, like Kajabi or Wix, Squarespace, all of those, even some old ones back in the day, like Homestead, and even just straight on up HTML. I've moved all of my development into WordPress because it is just easy. It's a heck of a web standard. Runs, I think, over a third of websites on the internet. There's a plugin for everything, so if it doesn't do it out of the box, somebody else has probably thought of that already for me, so it's easy to plug in new features that I need. I've really found my groove with a great theme and builder combo that I can use quickly and easily to have great results. WordPress, well, back when I got started, there was a little bit more to it years and years and years ago. But these days, boy, it is easy to get started with it. There's so much more built-in functionality right out of the box, and I'd say most people can get going on a WordPress site. And then as you learn more, you can add more functionalities, you get more comfortable with it, and then you can really make some great stuff with it. If you are considering using WordPress for your business, I'd say take a look at what you need your site to do. Is it just that front-facing kind of brochure site? Do you need membership? Do you need people logging in? Do you need to sell things? All of those are, of course, possible with WordPress, but you just need to understand what functionalities might you need to add in with plugins, themes, and all that things. And then also consider finding a good builder that, depending how your brain works, can make designing pages in your site a whole lot easier, more straightforward, and there are some pretty powerful tools out there that can really make it a breeze.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
