Choosing between WordPress and Wix is one of the most common dilemmas for anyone looking to build a website today. Wix may seem appealing on the surface with its easy setup and visual editor. Still, once you scratch beneath it, WordPress offers a level of flexibility, functionality, and control that Wix simply cannot match. Whether it is the ability to customize your design, manage SEO, or scale your platform as your business grows, WordPress delivers on every front. As part of our web app development services, Arpatech has helped numerous businesses build powerful WordPress-powered websites that drive real results. Here is why WordPress should be your platform of choice over Wix.
People like to use WordPress instead of Wix, as it has a self-hosted website development platform. Because it lets you pick out which domain hosting you wish to use for getting your website live. One of the reasons is that it has numerous graphical depictions of hosting choices for WordPress and reasonable costs.
While Wix does not allow you to host your website from somewhere else, it means you are completely stuck with the one you are on. Suppose you find your website is running very sluggishly due to poor hosting services, or else, if you wish to move your website’s data to any other domain, you cannot do so.
WordPress makes available thousands of premade website designs that can be selected as per your needs. There also exist user-created WordPress themes to choose as your required theme, as per your business needs. All such themes are absolutely free, while there is also a large variety of premium themes available to buy. Moreover, such WordPress themes can also be modified and adjusted according to your requirements.
When you choose to build a website using the Wix platform, you can select your templates from the 400 options available. But you cannot access the code or make any required changes to such designs or themes according to your needs, which is a great setback for Wix.
WordPress allows you to readily switch between the themes you like to change at any time. Because such themes will not affect the existing content already on your website, you can use any format adjustments as per your needs to fit better with your content, to any newly chosen theme.
While one of the most limiting features of the website built with the Wix environment is that once you select any template, you cannot change or remove it ever.
A website developed using the Wix interface has a single user account and admin of the website.
While a website created on the WordPress platform allows you to create multiple accounts to modify your website, you can even assign several roles to perform after creating the necessary accounts for them. For instance, to update and add new blog posts to your website. Likely, you can create accounts and give them limited access to the writers to post or publish blog articles. They have no access to use other functions of your website that the main admin can perform.
WordPress also allows you to apply as many plugins as needed to fulfill your needs for coding and the formation of plugins that offer its users. There exists an incredible number of tools also available to modify and control their websites accordingly.
Whereas Wix does not offer any use of plug-ins, but deals in apps to support and manage the websites in its place. You can find hundreds of apps available to select and use according to your business needs. But all those are entirely developed by the Wix team and have very few apps to select from.
WordPress allows you great benefits not only to create a website, but also serves you with ideal search engine optimization (SEO) management on it. It provides a great SEO friendly interface to perform multiple SEO activities for your website. This way, you can perform good SEO practices within your website and generate more traffic to it. Using sufficient plug-ins available within WordPress can help you optimize your website. It also advances its capability to make itself visible on different search engines.
Whereas Wix serves you with a very limited SEO feature within its boundaries. You can simply add the title and description to your generated pages, alt-text in images, and generate a sitemap.
A well-optimized WordPress website can deliver measurable business results. See how Arpatech used its web development expertise to build a streamlined fiat and crypto transactions platform and transform a complex license renewal system into a seamless digital experience.
WordPress is also considered one of the perfect platforms and ideal for blogging. It serves you efficiently for creating and publishing blog articles using its interface. Once you start using your website, you have the best option to create blog posts instinctively. You can start creating blog articles as per your desired needs, and you can simply use it easily, just as if writing in a Word document. You can further enhance your posts by seamlessly adding different types of media, from images to videos, directly into your content with ease. Therefore, you can manage your blog posts with extra features to set publication dates for your blogs. You have the options to assign tags and categories within the post, and have many more features using WordPress.
