I launched a website on Wix in the past month and I am yet to succeed in getting it right in terms of SEO. But this was not the case with Webflow.
Does anyone face the issue of logo and site name not showing up correctly on search engines?
My website: Solid Metrics
Hi,
I'm a graphic designer and an acting teacher, and I want to build websites for each of my activities. A few months ago, I created, a Wix website, but it's not responsive. So, I plan to build one from scratch, as I want to host the content and not leave it to Wix or such companies. I was pretty decided to use WordPress to build my website (with "Local" macOS app), but I came across Bootstrap (via "blocs" macOS app).
I'm now wondering which of these two options I should consider building my website? I want something clean, easy to customize, aesthetic, and easy to update. I read about the lack of SEO with Bootstrap, but I guess there's a way to compensate and promote the website anyway.
Any piece of advice welcome! Thanks.
I started with WP and hated it. I was running a huge theme and tried customizing it to my needs and had limitations I wasn’t comfortable with accepting. Yes I was able to add/edit my own content but not customize everything with all our all the clunkiness. Now I have. MERN stack with bootstrap and although I need a developer to do many things I was able to do. My site is wayyyyy cleaner and faster. They say you only use about 20-40% of WP anyway.
It depends on what your knowledge is in designing and writing code and for what purpose you are building your site.
Bootstrap gives you a design solution for building in code, but will not provide a solution for user management because it is a design language and not a code language.
WordPress on the other hand, because it was developed in open source, offers a huge database of ready-made design templates for any purpose. WordPress also allows you to manage users and create page templates, while in Bootstrap you will need to create each post from scratch.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
I’ve decided to use WordPress since it’s more documented and easier to customise. Plus it has many templates.
I'm standing up a web app that needs functionality, including profiles, directory, scheduling, video meeting, and payments.
I considered Wix, but I'm not sure it will meet these needs. I'm interested in no code / low code tools in order to move quickly but struggling to navigate through all the options. Any advice on how to select no code / low code tools like Webflow, Bubble, stackbit, Retool, BaseDash, Glide , airkit, adalo, stacker, unqork, tiled, airtable, zapier, v.one, candu, bravo studio, amazon honeycode, unstack, dittofi, makerpad, softr, appsheet, etc.?
You could go with Webflow. In combination with Memberstack and Calendly or Vectera you can link stuff together pretty much without code.
With Calendly you can do live-scheduling and hook it up to any a calendar and do some more automation with Zapier. With Memberstack you can do quite a lot with profile/login, dashboards, private pages, access to specific (locked) content, including payments/subscriptions, which might already suit your needs.
I am looking to make a website builder web app, where users can publish built websites with a custom or subdomain (much like Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, etc.), and I was wondering about any advice on which web framework to build it on? I currently know Node.js, but I would be excited to learn Laravel or Django if those would be better options. Any advice would be much appreciated!
The tools you mentioned are all backend focused frameworks. I will say, you can choose one of them as you may prefer (maybe Laravel and Django will be better since it's more organized than Node.js). But no matter what, if you will create a website builder application, today you'll need a frontend framework like Vue.js, React or Angular - or maybe Ember.js, Svelte and Meteor.
