WordPress Alternatives

Integrated Ecosystem with a slew of features makes for a seemless experience.

I've used several site development apps in the past 12 years and found WIX to be the most intuitive to my needs. I will not be so bold as to say it will be the best for you / your application. My world is B2B sites for manufacturing companies - where websites are often your introductory collateral and lead to first formal engagement. WIX has all the media management and deployment tools I need to build a visually appealing and easy-to-navigate site. There is a very good library of layout templates and graphic elements along with an easy way to start from scratch. Although we do not use them, WIX provides e-commerce / payment templates, all kinds of forms, subscriptions, and live visitor engagement capabilities. I'd wager I am only using about 30% of what WIX can do. Like any program with appreciable horsepower, there is a learning curve. There is ample help available within the program and a library of how-to videos. WIX also has an impressive set of behind-the-scenes tools available for troubleshooting, SEO planning / revising, site activities / analytics... I find WIX easy to use and flexible when it comes to site revisions and updates and it is very easy to create back-up pages.

Shopify is an amazing ecommerce platform that integrates seamlessly with all of our CRM. The dashboards and data provided allow me to understand my customers on a granular level to better direct where I should direct my marketing. The data is somewhat surface level, but you can dive deeper and find amazing insights about your customers

Squarespace is user friendly and secure and although some features need enhancement, the tradeoff for security and ease of use is worth it.

We're using it mainly for marketing landing pages and some smaller sites. The ideas was to let the marketing team handle things without always needing devs. It is working well.

This is my second time working with GetResponse after a few years break. What has changed? Support and customer service have definitely improved over years. The tool isn't complicated, integration is very straightforward and the final product meets basic expectations for marketing automation.
