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.

Why are website builders SaaS?
Not all website builders are SaaS.
“SaaS” (Software as a Service) is a business model where software is accessed through a subscription instead of a one-time purchase. In most SaaS website builders, your website is also hosted on the provider’s servers and runs only while your subscription is active.
But SaaS is not a technical requirement for building websites - it is a business model choice. Some platforms are open-source, others are self-hosted, and some, like UltimateWB, provide

The short answer is: Shopify may feel easier at first, but more limiting over time - especially if you’re used to WordPress flexibility. There are other ways to reduce the maintenance requirements of a WordPress website, and in general just be easier, without reducing flexibility and customization - like using UltimateWB.
Here’s a detailed comparison.

It is good to have a website/mobile-friendly website for your business- best is to have a responsive website that reformats for the user based on what device size they are using, i.e. a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Then you just have to build one website and update one website. It doesn’t seem like an app that a user would install would be necessary. I don’t think users would expect to have to install an app to get a quote for

Which website builders have you tried? I think what makes a website builder the most difficult is when the features aren’t built-in and you have to find/install third-party plugins and extensions to build the type of website you want. Also, when a website builder isn’t what you need out-of-the-box, it makes it harder to manage your website. Maybe you just haven’t tried the right website builder for what you want to build. You can build any type of website with
