The biggest problems with using a website builder/platform can be that you chose one that is a hosted solution, or you need more features and it is not flexible enough to extend the features. Hosted solutions require you to pay recurring payments to keep your website online, and don’t let you switch web hosting companies even if the prices are raised and it is not working for you. The website builder works only through that company, on their web hosting. So the solution there would be to choose a website builder that you can download and you have a choice where you host your website. You can solve that issue with UltimateWB. It is a downloadable website builder, and while you can choose to host on UltimateWB, you can also choose your own web hosting. There are other website builders that you can download as well, such as WordPress, Joomla, and Magento. But they are a lot more complicated to use for building websites than UltimateWB. The second issue – how flexible the website builder is – is no issue with UltimateWB. UltimateWB has a lot of built-in apps that are very customizable, without any experience. And, if you want to, you can add your own coding to it too. You can build any type of website with UltimateWB.
