30% of all the websites on the web is roughly 37 million, being powered by WordPress. It’s a lot, I know.
Butthat large amount doesn’t mean WordPress is suitable for every type of website.
As you are reading the article, you are already in search for some alternatives to WordPress.So, here I’m giving you some drag and drop website builders as alternatives to WordPress.
- Wix (Website hosting service,Website builder)
The registered users of Wix are more than 109 million, and their paying subscribers are about 3 million.
They offer their users more than 500 professional website templates that are easy to develop.
Developers are updating their features and tools every day, and you can improve or change your site with the new features when the update comes out.
It is perfect for those users who have basic knowledge about building and customizing sites.
Compared to WordPress, the codes of Wix can’t be modified by anyone except the development team becauseit is not an open source plat form and their monthly charge is $18.
- Joomla (Widespread Functionality)
Joomla is right for medium-budget businesses that lack a skilled technical team. Free for all, but web hosting cost is applicable if you want to use their hosting service.
Any type of site can be developed using Joomla whether the site is an informational or blog site, official site, social network, etc.
With 10,000 extensions and hundreds of integrated features, Joomla is a great CMS platform for people who have no technical background.
- Weebly (simplest ever)
Weebly offers a free hosted site to every user, but their-commerce support is limited.
Along with a drag and drop site builder and 100+ responsive themes, anyone can customize their web-pages without writing a single bit of code.
Weebly is preferable amongst small site owners (personal and business), and most popular amongst smallstart-up businesses who are unable to afford a web developer.
4.Drupal (Advance featured)
Drupal is an advanced website builder that needs good technical skills to operate.
As a content management system, Drupal is the third choice amongst developers after WordPress and Joomla.
Though the UI is available in 70+ languages, Drupal is quite challenging for new users. But the privacy policy is solid.
Free for all but similar to Joomla, web hosting cost is applicable if you use their hosting service.
Drual is preferable for the heavy and advanced websites. But if you are a beginner, it’ll be tough for you to build asite with Drupal.
5.Squarespace (Adjusted for mobile devices and tablets)
