WHY WEBSITE? Informational sites are used by people or businesses to display their work and describe their services, whereas actual transactions and service delivery takes place offline. The main purpose of such a website is to allow your target audience to learn more about you and your business. BUSINESS WEBSITES An ecommerce website is specifically designed to facilitate commercial or business transactions, and it involves online transfer of information. Such websites include, but not limit to, auction sites, retail stores, business-to-business services, financial management sites, and music sites. E-COMMERCE WEBSITES WIX VS WORDPRESS Wordpress and Wix are both tools for building a website— but they have completely different approaches: Wix is a website builder and Wordpress is a CMS (or Content Management System). THE EDITOR Wix has a visual, drag-and-drop editor. It's similar to Powerpoint or Keynote in that it allows you to move any element to any place on a page. Wordpress recently relaunched their editor as a block-based editor known as Gutenberg. OPEN VS CLOSED Wix offers an App Market that seems similar to Wordpress's plugins but is really not. It's a small, curated collection of about 300 apps. Wordpress is an open-source CMS— which means anyone can contribute to it. This is a major strength but also a weakness. THEMES Wix offers 500+ themes,that is ,it has a smaller selection but you'll never find a theme that requires to mess with code to be compatible with Wix features. Wordpress has over 11,000+ themes, but you'll occasionally run into compatibility issues that will require you to debug with code. PRICING Wix includes everything in one package: hosting, ecommerce, themes, apps, customer support— these are all included in every Wix package. Wordpress is different in a way that the Wordpress core is free. But you could end up paying for themes, plugins and hosting. SHOPIFY VS WOO COMMERCE You can build and publish your own online store entirely through Shopify, and make use of its neat features and apps. WooCommerce is for you if you already have a website. It’s a plugin that works with WordPress, and helps turn your website into an online store.
