=== '''Conclusion (more straight-forward research)''' === | |||
There exist 3 ways of building a website: 1. Using an Website Builder (e.g. Wix) . 2. Using a CMS (e.g. Wordpress) 3. Build everything from scratch (using HTML and CSS) | |||
'''Pros''' of using a CMS (will take the case of WordPress) (Most data is taken from [https://elementor.com/blog/wordpress-vs-website-builders/ here]) | |||
* 100% Ownership and Control - access to code and database | |||
* Wide variation of Plugins (e.g. Contact Form) and Themes ( like templates in Website Builders) | |||
* Custom Content and Dynamic Content. Full customization features. | |||
* As scaleable as you need them to be, because of the number of plugins. Not limited by having to follow templates offered by the Website Builder. | |||
* Good ways of improving SEO | |||
* Offers flexibility | |||
* Easy to migrate | |||
'''Pros and Cons''' of using a Website Builder: | |||
* No Coding and Designing skills needed | |||
* Not good for SEO | |||
* Various limitations and restricted features. Templates cannot be fully customized. | |||
* Not the best for mobiles. Not good for large businesses. | |||
