Yes, I'm doing this other than the SEO service I do with my current clients. So, the charge is different and not included in the SEO service that I'm doing.
But then, I have to reject some since I have limitations on what I can do with the website since they’re using the free platforms.
But then, we’re talking about using free website platforms for official business website. Some may say, I’m crazy, well, a bit. Really, just a bit. But there are actually business owners that are in a really tight budget and could not afford to spend thousands of pesos for a website.
Let me give you the PROS and CONS of these two (2) known free platforms.
Blogspot.com | Wordpress.com | ||
PROS | CONS | PROS | CONS |
Can custom domain | Coding skills | User friendly | Can’t Upload Theme |
Backup | Limited widgets | Backup | Can’t Upload Plugins |
Hosted by Google | Limited Control on design | Updated platform | Account Suspension |
Secured by Google | Hosted by Wordpress | No access to CMS | |
Access to CMS | Secured by Wordpress | Costs to add styles | |
Flexible | Limited file types | ||
FREE | Limited media embed | ||
I can explain to you each since they’re just clues. But take a look at the freedom to customize the website, if you want to be known, you must brand your business, make it your own, and with that it’s important to be able to customize the look of your website and only Blogger offers that. But then, if you really love Wordpress, want to be user friendly, you can have a hosting instead (which cost monthly), custom domain (yearly cost), design (can be free if you know a bit of coding and have time to learn).
So, for me. Since I can customize the website look in Blogger (a.k.a. Blogspot) and optimize it well better compared to the free Wordpress site, then I’ll go for Blogger. If you want it cheap and secured, go for Blogger.
But then again, if you have the budget go ahead and go for the custom domain, own hosting, and get a Wordpress site up and running.
With this, I am officially offering my Web Development service through this site. I can do Blogspot, I can do Wordpress, and I can do it cheap. Go ahead, and click here to check out my web development service.
