Lots of website builders are available online where users can build their websites just in few hours. Some famous free website building platforms are Wix, Jimdo, Weebly, Yola, Webs etc. Usually entrepreneurs use these free website builders due to lack of capital and resources. They start their online business with the help of free web builders but with the passage of time they find lots of flaws in their websites. Then they have to think about premium services of free website builders.
Some entrepreneurs think to convert their free websites into CMS based websites. At HTML Pro, we also get lots of inquires about it. Now the question is why free website building platforms are not helpful in online business?
Why Say No to Free Website Builders?
Limited Templates & Themes Options
Free website builders offer very limited templates and themes for their users which sometimes not fit for users’ business requirements but users have to compromise about it. When you are getting something free, you can’t ask for more options. Similarly, in free web building platforms you can’t get unlimited free themes options. All available temples in free web platforms don’t provide all the features and options you need for your website.
Impossible to Customize
It is very difficult to customize your free website. Sometimes, it is even impossible to make changes in them. Different users have different requirements and they want to get websites according to their business needs. We have options of customization in different CMSs which help us to make our websites user-friendly but in free websites that option is disabled.
Not SEO Friendly
Without doing effective marketing no product or service can get better response. Similarly, without doing better SEO, it is impossible to get better response from search engines and users. In paid websites, we have different plugins and add-ons which help in SEO campaign to get better response from search engines. But in free websites these options are not available. Therefore, free website can’t become SEO friendly websites.
Not Mobile Friendly & Responsive
Now it is compulsory to have a mobile friendly website because people love to browse different things via their mobiles. According to Google algorithm and new update Mobilegeddon, those websites which are not mobile friendly can’t get better ranking in search engines. So in free websites, it is biggest drawback to not having a mobile friendly and a responsive website. When a webmaster doesn’t have a mobile website, he/she is already out of race from search engines ranking.
Impossible to Expand
Free website building users have only few pages option to create web pages. They can’t create unlimited pages as paid website users can. It is really a great hurdle to expand website under free website building platforms. So, if any webmaster wants to expand his website he has to go with premium service or another CMS.
Slow in Loading
Website speed matters when we talk about successful online business because webmasters have few seconds to grab visitor. If a website taking too much time in loading, user will switch on another website. At HTML Pro, we get lots of queries from free website builders to convert their free websites into paid sites or another CMSs. Usually they complain about slow speed of their free website, which hurts online business.
Not Provide E-commerce Solution
Ultimately purpose of website building is to earn money online. Some people create their small online shop with the help of free website builders and soon they feel that it is just waste of time because it is very hard to add shopping cart in free website. They have to face lot more problems when we talk about free ecommerce website. A successful ecommerce business needs lots of things which these free site builders don’t provide.
You Can’t Earn From Advertising
While using free website building platforms you have to withdraw from advertising rights. If you want to earn money from ads like Google adsense or other advertising platforms, you can’t get that option. For example in Wix you can’t use Google adsense for earning. Your all advertising space owned by free website builder Wix.
