- 20Should I use WordPress or Wix for a new business website?Choosing the right platform comes down to balancing ease of use with long-term flexibility, ownership, and running costs. Freelancers trying to set up a new business often struggle to decide between simpler site builders like Wix and Squarespace or more complex options like WordPress.
- 5How to build a website from scratch without using AI or ShopifyBuilding a website from scratch as a beginner involves choosing between platforms like Shopify or WordPress with very little initial knowledge, which easily leads to getting stuck for hours. This frustration is amplified by wanting to do everything organically rather than relying on automated tools or AI shortcuts to achieve a real entrepreneurial dream.
- 4What to do when your dot com domain is taken or parkedWhen the exact dot com you want is parked by resellers or dead sites asking thousands of dollars, people are forced to consider alternative extensions while worrying customers will see them as untrustworthy. Choosing a non-dot-com out of frustration often leads to awkward spellings or confusion that turns visitors away.
- 2Should I buy my domain through my e-commerce platform or a registrar?Platform-integrated domain purchases offer convenience, but independent registrars are often recommended for business websites to look more professional and maintain flexibility. Founders frequently weigh whether to buy directly through builders like BigCartel or choose an external provider.
