4 misconceptions about website creation software aka Website builder

Some misconceptions persist about website creation software. Let's wring their necks!

 



No, it's not expensive to create a website with software 


In reality, no. This solution is even much cheaper than going through a freelance or web agency-type service provider.

 

Website creation software offers its users an economic model based on different subscriptions, adapted to a maximum of budgets, and generally includes the hosting of your site.

 

Thus, for a showcase site comprising 5 to 10 pages to present all of your activities, you can benefit from a free template (if you select one that suits you in terms of design) and only pay for hosting and the name of the domain.

 

At most, still, for a showcase site, you can get by for 30€ per month on average, for the "simple" rental of the website.

 

Count up to around €100 per month for an e-commerce site of ten pages and a maximum of one hundred product sheets. Costs to which you would have to add several zeros if you used a freelancer, and even more so a web agency.

 

Finally, the biggest investment you will have to make when using software to create your site is time! Indeed, you will need more than 5 clicks to obtain the website corresponding to your expectations…

 



No, using a website builder does not require technical skills 


It would be logical to think so, and yet it is false! To attract customers, website creation software relies on its intuitive interface and ease of use.

 

They are full of options and functionalities so that their handling is as simple as possible for the neophytes that we are for the most part.

 

The most telling example? The principle of "drag and drop" which, as its name suggests, allows the user to select the "block" he wants in one click to "drop" it at the desired location of the page is created.

 

In short, to use website creation software, you don't need to be a developer or even know how to code.

 



No, the design of sites created with software is not “amateur” 


And yet, the adage “there is something for everyone” applies perfectly to website creation software. Because they have libraries of designs adapted to a large number of sectors, classified by theme, or even by sector of activity.

 

And above all, the themes offered are more and more elaborate and elegant. You just have to browse through several “rays” of proposed themes to notice it.

 

Another proof of the professionalization of the designs offered by the software? They are, for the most part, coded in HTML 5 and of course, are inevitably responsive.

 

In addition, they take into account the recommendations in force concerning the rules for optimizing a website. A guarantee of professionalism and modernity, too.

 

In summary, there is real material to create a beautiful website, with a professional design, using creation software such as Wix or Shopify.

 

On the other hand, you may be somewhat limited in terms of customization since by opting for a design developed upstream, you will logically not be able to access tailor-made.

 



No, it is not more complicated to properly reference a site created with software 


If indeed, the competition is raging on the web, it will nevertheless be easy for you to put in place a good SEO strategy, with realistic objectives, while creating your website using the software.

 

Provided you think of and integrate this strategy from the design phase of your website. Because the architecture and tree structure of a site is developed, in part, according to the SEO challenges of its owner. Rigor and determination will be necessary for you to achieve your goals.

 

A challenge that website creation software will take up with you: all of their features allow you to optimize your SEO, technically speaking. Customization of URLs, unique meta descriptions, and structured content thanks to Hn tags are all technical tricks integrated by the software, which will be at the service of your natural referencing.
