Finding a honest review of website builder is very hard. Why?

90 % of the review sites about website builders are actually biased, as they are financed by affiliation.

The main interest of the author is not to inform you, it is that you find their blog on the first page of a Google search and that you open a site with the link they provide.
Wix for example built most of its strategy on this: it why it comes out first most of the time, even when it is far from relevant.
Not only that these review sites are often not reliable at all, even worse, they tend to give the wrong idea about how to choose a website builder.

The authors of these blogs have built a methodology designed to help users understand a few important points:

These are the questions you should ask yourself when you choose a service to create websites.

• Can someone who creates a site for the first time, just by using this app, will understand what makes a good website?

• Is this app first conceived to help newbies to create a site or is it designed to sell additional features?

• What kind of website will suit your needs:
     -  A simple presence on the web, an online business card?
     -  A richer site, comprised of many well organized pages to present your business?
     -  An online store? For how many different types of items?

  • Did you know? More than 80% of people who start building a site usually give up before publishing it. Even when they have paid for it. So, a relevant way to judge a website builder is by trying to estimate the chances for a new user to end up with a real website one day.
