Lots of website builders to choose from, how to choose the right one for you?

Whether you Google “best website builder” or “e-commerce website builder” or “social networking website builder” or “business website builder” or “portfolio website builder” or “easy website builder” – you get the point – there are pages and pages of different website builders to choose from.  Confused by all the choices of website builders?  Don’t know which website builder you should choose and how to choose the best website builder for you?  Don’t worry, even if you are completely new to web designing you can still create your own website.  No matter what type of website you want to build,  the checklist for how to choose the right website builder for you is the same.  And here it is:

Choosing a Website Builder: Checklist

1) Features – check out the features list of each website builder.  Does it have all the features you need built-in?

2) Expandability & Scalability – does the website builder allow you to extend the features with custom coding? This can be really important – you don’t want to have to start your website all over because you can’t have a feature you need. And how scalable is the website builder – when your website grows, will it grow with you too?

3) Customizability – how much can you customize your website with the website builder? Are there limits to how much you can customize?  Will your website look like everyone else’s using the same website builder and/or design templates?

4) Templates or Custom Design – what does the website builder offer in terms of design?  Do you have to choose from ready-made templates and customize those, or can you create your own custom design/template?

5) SEO – does the website builder offer a built-in SEO tool?  Does it use coding that will enable your website to be found by Google, Yahoo, and other search engines, and also help you rank on top of the search engines?

6) Compatibility & Accessibility – does the website builder create websites that will work on smartphones and tablets, besides laptops/desktop computers, and also display correctly on the major internet browsers, i.e. is it cross-platform compatible? You also want to make sure that it is cross-browser compatible, for all the different internet browsers. And accessibility for the best user experience for all users.

7) Web Hosting – what type of web hosting can you use with the website builder?  Are you forced to use their web hosting, or do you get web hosting choice?

8) Tech Support – do they offer tech support for the website builder?

9) And of course Cost – is there a one-time fee for the website builder, or do you pay monthly/yearly?  Is it free but with ads, or limitations?  Are there any hidden costs? Will you need to hire an expert to help you with it?

10) It would be nice to round this out as 10 items in the list, right?!  Let’s make #10, Is it UltimateWB software?!  :-)
