What are your biggest issues with using DIY website builders such as Wix and WordPress?

It depends on the website builder. With Wix you don’t get as much flexibility that I would want, and also you have to just use their web hosting. This is true of similar website builders such as Weebly, Squarespace, and Shopify.

I prefer to use WordPress just for blogging, and UltimateWB for websites, which is very user friendly. You can build any type of website with it. With WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla you have to be very careful about

Compare Website Builder Software and Find Out Who Really Stands Behind Their Product

If a website builder is truly the best, the company selling it should use it for their own site, right? Surprisingly, that’s not always the case.
