The Dark Side Of Website Builders That You Must Know Before Sign-Up

1.Website Builders Have Bloated HTML That Undermines Website Quality

Earlier coding was written by expert web developers. But with web building tools, the coding of web builders is readymade. The only problem though is that, behind those perfectly designed web pages, are bloated and unclean piles of codes.

As you can only see the design and aesthetics, this issue remains invisible. Due to useless extra codes and unnecessary code elements, website speed and performance are severely damaged. As a result, your website never appear on search engines.
Due to this, many websites are forced to start afresh. Like an update or a complete redesign. But how to know if a website needs a revamp or redesign?

2. Web Builders Care a Dime About Search Engine Rankings and Optimization (SEO)

Honestly speaking, website builders aren’t much bothered about SEO.
SEO is a lengthy and complicated process. Also, there are secret time-tested search ranking tricks experienced SEO experts use for great search engine rankings. But, web builders are more interested in the structure and functioning of the website.
However, due to this, things like website speed, user experience, and uniqueness take a hit. To overcome this, open source CMS platforms are a better choice than website builders.

Unfortunately, using things like, Artificial Intelligence for generic content nullifies the professionalism and personality that your website exudes.
Moreover, piles of unclean coding run the website slower. Due to all this, your website stays out of focus on search engines.

How much ever you compare, read, and analyze, you will never have a website builder that will give 100% of what you desire. As a result, choice paralysis is quite common.

Most web builders offer only a few days of free trials. Due to such a short period, it is pretty difficult to zero in on problem areas.
Knowing what works and how to make it work, needs expertise. Something, that comes with numerous trials and experience. And that exactly is the difference between an experienced web design agency in Mississauga and that of an AI driven website builder.

Many website builders propose themselves as free.
Beware, as that isn’t 100% percent true. This is because, you will have to cough up some or the other charges like domain, hosting, online payment commissions, etc.

As compared to buying a custom domain name, registering a free subdomain is bad. This is because,www.websitebuilder.yourname.com is harder to rank on search engines than www.yourname.com. Also, it fails to draw customer attention as well as are forgettable.

In case, you go for a free website building using Weebly, Web flow, etc. the necessary elements like domain name, hosting, custom design, premium images, SEO, etc., all come under premium services.
Also, you don’t have a clear idea of the type and cost of SSL certificates or web hosting that the web builders offers.

Unlike custom-built websites, up until you keep on paying the rent to use their platform, website builders will stop you from accessing the website. This severely blocks the smooth functioning of your website.

There is a dark side to website builders that people often don’t realize until they run deep into web builders.

Google prioritizes user experience highly. That’s why, it expects websites to offer fantastic user-centric functionalities, intuitive navigation and well-maintained websites. This is only possible with custom-made websites.

Website builders are not as great as they seem. Though there are hundreds of templates, features or third-party apps, one that will suit your needs, and most importantly, will work in sync with each other is limited. And this hampers future modifications.

Not only that, in case you want to migrate to a different web builder, you will have no option but to rebuild the website from scratch. Which is in short, a waste of time, hard work, and effort.

Your business will grow over the years and so will its needs. At those times, you will inadvertently need to again reinvest in building a custom website from scratch. Secondly, just like fast foods, web builders, though lucrative are bad for the business.
