How to Compare
Knowing what to compare when choosing a platform.
Before builders and subscription services, you could simply build your own website and pay for a monthly host. However doing so meant you had to keep track of the technical issues associated with browser and technology changes, as well as security. People that didn't do that found their sites hacked, receiving a lower page rank, and their sites not being mobile friendly or just not even loading. As a result, StoreGear came around and let people pay a monthly fee where all of this was taken care of so that the customer could focus more on content and their business.
Today there are now many competing builder platforms to StoreGear, but few that can compete that combine a world class platform with professional agency design and marketing consulting. When comparing a "platform" The $100,000,000 marketing budgets of Square Space, Wix, Shopify all create a lot of noise to control the narative to make you think they are "best", but what should define the "best" to you?
Here are some things to consider and prioritize when making your site:
How Fast Does It Load
How will you get Expert Advice?
Yikes! In reality, a real expert understands color theory, layout design, branding, key work strategy, e-mail marketing, landing pages, image sizing editing, and most importantly has live examples that you can put into gtmetrix.com to independently test.
So do your research, research the work and their experience.
