Top 5 Website Creation Platforms

Hey  developers! Today we will create a list of the Top 5 website creation platforms. You need to know that this list can vary depending on the developer and on what he or she likes. However I tried to be as much objective as I can and tried to choose easy to use platforms but very powerful for beginners.

1. WordPress

This is I would say the most powerful website creation platform that a beginner can use. It is effectively a bit hard to use at the beginning but when you got the feel of it, it is the best one. There is no obligated need to know how to code but Html and CSS are not a must but a plus. It is a very professional platform which allows anyone to create and control their websites. This platform is my personal favorite.

2. Wix:

This is the best platform for total beginners. I would say the best thing to do is to start on Wix and then jump onto WordPress. Wix allows people who know nothing about website development to create a beautiful and responsive website or blog.

3. Squarespace:

This platform is very nice to use when it comes to design and layouts. It gives a lot of design choices for the websites and allows developers to create beautiful online shops.

4. Weebly:

This platform is also very good for websites or blogs. It gives a lot of opportunities to developers and also gives a nice control panel on which we can have access to all informations about visitors and statistics.

5. Jimdo:

This platform is mostly used by bloggers. It gives some design and layout choices but nothing very special. However it is still a very nice platform to work on when being a beginner.

If you think I forgot a platform in this Top 5 list, feel free to leave a comment. I will talk about these platforms individually and in more detail in future posts.

What is WordPress?

Hello everyone. In this post I will talk about the WordPress platform. Firstly you might want to know that I am using WordPress for this blog.

WordPress is a CMS platform (Content Management System). This platform has been created in order to give the opportunity to non-developers to create websites and blogs. It is a very easy to use platform just like lots of other platforms which I will talk about in the future.

However, if you have a bit of web development skills, I strongly recommend using WordPress as it might be a bit harder to use than other CMS but it gives us an awful lot of possibilities in terms of layout or any other things.

Another very good thing about WordPress is that it gives the website creators the possibility to follow in live everything that goes on on our website. This means that we can have access to the number of visitors per day, their origins, the search engines used…. This is very important for SEO so that we know who we are talking to when writing our blog posts or updating our website.

Lastly, you can easily monetize your blogs or websites on WordPress just by paying a small amount of money per month. In my opinion, WordPress is the most professional website creation platform.

If you would like future blog posts to learn how to use WordPress or get more information about it, follow the blog and give us a like ;).

If you have another favorite website creation platform, feel free to tell it in the comments and explain why!
