If you're building a website for your business, you might be wondering whether it's better to use a website builder or go for a customly created project by a design studio? Here we’ve got some reasons why a website built with a website builder is the more practical and reliable choice.
If your website is created using a website builder, you don't need to worry about a designer or developer being available to make changes. You, or anyone to whom you have provided access, can manage your website, even having no coding knowledge. In contrast with a custom-built website, maintaining and updating it often requires specific skills and access to the code. And if the developer is unavailable, you might face serious challenges in keeping your website up and running. If you want to change a short sentence on the website or adjust the price of a specific product, or even the whole design you would typically need to contact someone to make the changes. However, with a website builder, these updates can be done in just a few minutes. No doubt — that's an extra headache.

With a website builder, smooth operation is guaranteed, leaving you worry-free. In contrast, with custom-built websites, you might hear from your hosting provider, "This is the designer's responsibility" or "This is not within our remit." Your hosted website may stop working at some point for NO apparent reason, and no one will take responsibility, citing some “dramatic changes in technology”. With the Site.pro website builder, this is unlikely to happen, for you can always rely on technical support to quickly find a solution.
Website builders are typically more affordable than traditional hosting. With custom-built websites, you often have to pay for hosting, for development (project manager, programmers and designers), technical updates and other services. But with Site.pro, you only pay for the platform, and you get everything you need in one package. Plus, if you purchase a plan with support, you’ll have access to our customer service, which can resolve any issues that arise, making the process even more convenient and cost-effective.
The Site.pro website builder makes it super easy to add features and components to your website. For example, if you need to add a simple form, you don't have to contact the developers — you can create it yourself. Even if your website was initially created by professionals, you can still go in and make changes — whether it’s editing content or updating the design. If you want to add a plugin or create an online store, it’s simple to do.

Websites created with a website builder are generally optimised (HTML-based, Nginx, etc) for faster loading speeds. The Site.pro website builder allows you to choose the location of the data center, and you can even change it afterwards (if needed). For example, if you initially made your website in the US and later decided to target Latin America, the website builder gives you this flexibility, often with better options than traditional hosting.
It’s an open secret that website builders tend to offer better safety, while custom-built websites are often more vulnerable to hacking. There are millions of articles about how regular websites have been hacked, but you won’t find a single article about how a Site.pro website was hacked. The conclusion is obvious.
Using a website builder like Site.pro, you can manage your website, emails, and domains all in one place, here and now. This is super convenient, especially if you have limited technical knowledge. You don't have to deal with separate admin panels or manage multiple logins — everything is accessible through a single dashboard.
Our website builder supports multiple languages, allowing your team to work on the website with no language barriers. So, if you have staff who speak different languages, everyone can log into the admin panel in their preferred language and collaborate effectively without having language difficulties. Custom-built websites typically don’t offer this flexibility, making teamwork more complicated (if not impossible to say at all).

With a website builder, you have full control over your website. You can log in and make changes at any time. In contrast with regular websites (custom platforms), you might need two types of access — admin and server — to manage your website. This can create pretty much confusion and limit your control over the website. With a website builder, everything is easier and more straightforward, giving you complete control with no need for additional logins. After all, why make it complicated?
Site.pro offers a website builder with many advantages for businesses looking for a simple, cost-effective, and secure way to manage their website. It provides ease of use, flexibility, and multilingual support, all while cutting down on costs.
