🎧This is Online with Amr The Internet Guy! The show focuses on entrepreneurs and business owners, helping them become more successful in conducting their business on the web without being stuck with Technology 😱, getting a headache, pulling their hairs out, or buying expensive software!
Business owners who use platforms like Wix & Squarespace for their website do it because the barrier to entry is very low and they don't need to worry about buying hosting, installing WordPress, or buying themes & plugins, etc.
They simply have all this taken care of from the beginning but the main downside to these platforms is that they have absolutely no control over the environment that houses their website, they can't add plugins and they can't do things like optimizing the loading speed of their pages plus SEO is a nightmare on these platforms, so, in short, you get the ease of use and no flexibility!
When I speak with business owners who have been with Wix or Squarespace for some time, they all agree that it was the best option for them when they started up and had no budget as well as little or no knowledge of WordPress! In fact, they all thought WordPress was complicated and hard to learn (which is not true), many of them think about migrating from Wix to WordPress after the first 12 months for one reason or another and it is then when they learn that they are locked-in and can not take their website with them (especially the website design they spent so much time/effort perfecting)
WordPress - in my opinion, is the best platform to use for a business website nowadays, it is powerful, flexible, and extendable, it is very lean, easy to use, and easy to learn, it is certainly not harder than the other platforms but it is way better and provides the website owner with full control from the getgo.
The main issue for startups is usually the cost to get a custom website professionally designed as many would not be prepared to pay USD.$2000+ right away.
If only there was a WordPress-based option with its better capabilities that worked in a similar way to the other platforms! Where you just pay a monthly fee and everything is taken care -of, for you!
NOW there is! my guest today Ms./ Gill Wilson does that, she calls it the "subscription-based" website.Not only that but she also offers the professional design (Templates) as part of the deal so that you are not left alone to figure things out or end up wasting hours of your time then end up hiring someone when you are stuck.
It is all done for you, listen to this episode for details on this service & business model, we also discuss small business success and how to convince your grown-up kids to work with you :-)
Enjoy!
