There are a lot of DIY website platforms on the market: Wix, WordPress, Weebly, Squarespace, Jimdo, etc.<\/p>\n
They enable people without any programming experience to create functional websites, for personal or business use. Many offer advanced features like photo gallery slide shows, e-commerce and payment processing, etc. etc.<\/p>\n
Although there are many benefits to such platforms they are not for everyone and do have some downsides.<\/p>\n
Let’s look over the cons and why you should have Clear Imaging do your websites for you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reason 1 \u2013 Other sites may be invisible to Google<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re assuming you want your website to be able to be found by Google, and thus placed in Google\u2019s search result pages. In order for this to occur your website\u2019s source code has to be visible to Google. In some of today\u2019s modern website building\u00a0 platforms the source code is actually invisible, and when Google visits your site to index it, it just sees empty pages with no text. Thus, such sites would have no search engine ranking to speak of.<\/p>\n All sites made by Clear Imaging are not only fully visible to Google but are built inherently with Search Engine Optimization best practices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reason 2 \u2013 You don\u2019t have to learn anything<\/strong><\/p>\n All of today\u2019s website building platforms involve SOME form of orientation and learning. You may not have to be a programmer to setup one of their sites but you do have to be willing to sit down and confront the platform\u2019s interface, documentation, watch video tutorials, and work at it by yourself until you have a product you\u2019re pleased with.<\/p>\n When you get a website with Clear Imaging not only do we build the entire thing for you, you also get unlimited free updates. We can take care of all further maintenance, you don\u2019t have to learn anything.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reason 3 \u2013 Your site might not look the way you want it to<\/strong><\/p>\n Your site\u2019s design is limited to the templates which the platform has. Some may be too basic and leave you unsatisfied. Since your website is your customer\u2019s first impression of your business you want it to be just right, and you certainly don\u2019t want to comprise and have your first impression be anything less than excellent.<\/p>\n When Clear Imaging makes a website for you, we design the site exactly to your specifications and continue to work with until it is just how you want it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reason 4 \u2013 Other sites might not be mobile-friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n We are making all websites fully compatible with desktop and mobile applications, so you don\u2019t need to worry about how your site renders across various devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are a lot of DIY website platforms on the market: Wix, WordPress, Weebly, Squarespace, Jimdo, etc. They enable people… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[181,180],"class_list":["post-713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-websites-for-businesses","tag-platforms","tag-websites-for-businesses"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=713"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":714,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713\/revisions\/714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
