Weebly is one of the ‘big’ website builders most people are familiar with. Being one of the first DIY website creation platforms, Weebly quickly built a strong audience and achieved a prominent position. But there are dozens of other website builders out there. Some Weebly alternatives can provide additional functionality, a better choice of templates, or better pricing options. Following are the few alternatives that are likely to challenge Weebly.

Squarespace is great, and I love it, but it is not the only website builder out there. Knowing the full range of alternatives to Squarespace on the market will not only help you choose the platform best-tailored to your individual needs, but also help you save a lot of time and effort.

Shopify has remained one of the leaders in the eCommerce web design niche for years. However, there are many users, who start looking for better Shopify alternatives having tried the service. Why does this happen? The development of the website building niche does not remain the same and Shopify competitors start offering solutions that are much better in quality and convenience of use.

‘Can you recommend a website builder like Wix?’ is one of the most popular questions I get through your comments and Feedback form. The answer depends on what you mean by ‘like Wix’. Like any other website builder, Wix is a multi-faceted web service that has many aspects: a feature set, tech support, templates, ease-of-use etc.

Everyone, who is proficient in website building, knows that there are two effective tools to build a website, namely CMS and website builders. We won’t get involved in the everlasting debates regarding the best solution. Let’s better differentiate the specialization of these systems, considering their distinctive features. The truth is somewhere in between. We’ll find out now, when it’s better to use CMS and when a website builder proves to be a better choice.

We have decided to compare one of the best specialized platforms used to create online stores, Shopify, with one of the most advanced website builders with a visual editor – Wix. Both systems are the best in their niches, but Shopify isn’t used for any other purpose except for creating online stores. Consequently, we will compare only the eCommerce functionality of both services.

Shopify is the most popular eCommerce website builder, while WordPress is the most well-known CMS in the world. The desire to compare these two great platforms in terms of convenience of online store creation is quite natural. You definitely know that people use WordPress not only to build blogs, but to design other website types as well, including online stores.

Shopify and BigCommerce are the leaders in the eCommerce niche. These popular website builders are quite expensive, but they provide the utmost range of options to clients aiming at business development. Their comparison is genuinely interesting, because these platforms are the competitors. People willing to create large-scale websites frequently have to choose between these services, because they are considered the best in the niche (even though, both of them have their nuances).

Volusion and Squarespace are two popular web building platforms used by dozens of millions of users across the globe. Volusion is oriented towards online store creation, while Squarespace is a universal website builder that allows for the development of different types of websites – from simple promo sites and landing pages and up to powerful blogs.

2016 seems to be a year of continuing evolution and tremendous growth for many website builders, including Jimdo and Weebly. Both web services have undergone a series of significant updates over the past months: Jimdo released an iOS application and updated the editing interface and new Image Editor from Adobe Creative SDK (see details in my Jimdo review)
