website platforms.
Which platform suits the way you work?
Squarespace, Wix, WordPress and Shopify can all make a good website, and they are more alike than the adverts suggest. The differences that matter show up later: who can make changes, what the monthly bill turns into, and what happens when you want to move.
These articles compare them plainly, from the side of the person who has to run the site every day. For most small businesses there is no wrong answer, just the one that suits how you work.
If you already know which one you want, website design shows what a build includes, with a page each for WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and Shopify.
