Choosing a provider can be difficult if you don’t have much experience with creating websites (or having them created). In this article, we will discuss the differences between WordPress from OneTap.Online and website services such as Wix.com.
Price and accessibility
Many beginners (sole traders, freelancers) start with Wix. This makes sense, as it often seems simple and accessible at a competitive price. The alternative is to compare quotes and make sure you don’t end up paying thousands of pounds to a web designer.
But Wix has its limitations and a somewhat cluttered interface. The biggest disadvantage is that a Wix website cannot be transferred to another provider. It’s a mandatory shopping experience, and website migration is often just as expensive as a whole new website. Everyone agrees on one thing: Wix is not a good investment if you plan to do more with your website in the future (think SEO, conversions, links, blog, 1-on-1 corporate identity integration, webshop, etc.).
The future
For most website owners, there comes a time when you want more control over your website, want to add functionalities, and want to experience the freedom and convenience of WordPress. The power of WordPress lies in its community, which provides thousands of functionalities ready to use (free of charge) to other users. And the convenience and ease of use of WordPress is unrivalled and improving every day.
Get started with WordPress yourself
Installing WordPress correctly is quite a technical task. Step 2 is finding plugins that are reliable and perform well. This really requires experience and expertise. Finally, updating and securing your WordPress website is also a professional job. Most web design agencies charge an hourly rate for this work.
