Sites that are slow to load, difficult to navigate or poorly designed for mobile simply won’t work anymore. And unless sites are optimized for search engines, it’s becoming more difficult for interested users to even find them in the first place.
Building a website for your small business is very important. It makes your company look credible, lets you communicate with customers 24/7 and lets you showcase products and services to a wider audience. In the past, you might have worried that building a website would be too expensive (you’re a small business, where’s the money coming from?) or too difficult (you’re not a computer expert, how are you supposed to build a website from scratch?). Thankfully, the best website builders are so good that getting online is affordable and easy-to-do. The 3 Best Small Business Website Builders We’ve looked at three of the best website builders for small business: Wix – best drag and drop website builder. Squarespace – number one for stunning images. Weebly – the website builder that’s easiest to use. Each of our 3 recommended platforms means small business owners like you can get online without spending heaps of money hiring professional developers and designers. Whether you choose Wix, Squarespace or Weebly, you’ll be able to create a functional and eye-catching website that establishes your small business online, without any technical know-how. Which specific builder is best for your small business will depend on the type of business you run and what you hope to achieve through your website. If you know the main function of your small business website will be to sell products then we recommend using an ecommerce specialist like BigCommerce or Shopify. While Wix, Squarespace and Weebly all offer ecommerce platforms, Shopify and BigCommerce have the tools to take your store to the next level. Make use of the free trials on offer to find the perfect website builder for your small business. Once you’ve chosen a website builder for your small business, we recommend you read the guide below as your next step. How to build a business website has step-by-step information on the nuts and bolts of building your business website.
We would always recommend small businesses sell online with their own website. Most decent online store builders (check out Shopify) come with excellent blogging functionality, so you can integrate your blog with your online store. This doesn’t tie you down to one selling avenue. Good online store builders can provide a lot of help with SEO (search engine optimization) and make sure your website / blog ranks higher in Google, so people can find it in the first place. Your wife wouldn’t have to sell many products through her organic coffee brand’s online store before the monthly fee looked pretty small. For these and other reasons, we’d always say it’s sensible to get both an online store and a blog. With them working in harmony, you have more chance of making a success of your online business

From someone who has been building websites for a long time, I can tell you that serious business owners who are busy actually running their business and who want a top notch website are not going to be happy using any of the DIY sites.

Due to the visual aspect of these perfectly templated Squarespace websites, this service won’t allow as much customizability as other small business website builders will. However, if you’re looking for an easy way to craft a professional-looking website, Squarespace is a no-brainer.

Having a business website is critically important in today’s digital ecosystem. It is almost impossible for a mall business to succeed without establishing some sort of digital presence, whether it be a website, blog, social media or local listings online.
Vivian Madison September 3, 2017 at 3:59 am I have been searching for some time for a great website builder that would take care of my website needs. Then tonite in my research I read each of the top 20 and when I got to Site Builder my guts told me to choose this one. But then reading all of the posts from readers, I was happy to see the best report was for just this one that my guts told me to go with. I have tried and tried Go Daddy and while they have phenomenal tech service people, I tried to use their site builder and loved the fact that everything came with it, from hosting to email, to SEO and more, it costs (NOT FREE) and the font was so small I could not read it with my glasses even though I don’t need glasses, and then changed to the lesser of the two choices they have website builder and that was exactly the same, cannot enlarge the font or the whole page enlarges but not the font and make page smaller, font still stays the same. Spent way too much wasted time and sad to say will cancel tomorrow to use (as my feelings tonite tell me to do) site builder. Thanks for having this site and all of your input and from readers as well. I tried to work with Word Press when Blue Host was apparently required to sign up for the hosting. what a freaking night mare all of that was, costs, delays and unbelievable disappointment. So trying one more time, doing site builder. My web host in Italy hosts my main site and built it for me as well using Presta Shop. I just want to create another site with a different name and keep that one and he as my host.
