What Is Devsecops And How It Works

No doubt WordPress is one of the easiest, yet most powerful publishing platforms. This particular content management system is termed as the world’s most used self-hosted blogging tool. When we evaluated last time, we found out that its application had been downloaded more than 75,000,000 times so far.

However, WordPress is not the end of the world. There are many other alternatives to this particular tool that could be used for your dream business sites or even blogs. In fact, depending on the preferences of a user, some might prove to be more useful than WordPress.

Wix

If you wish to create an elegant and aesthetic website, you might want to try Wix. Capterra has ranked this drag & drop website builder amongst the top twenty most popular content management software applications.

Although its free version comes with ads, it works perfectly. It offers over 500 SEO optimized and mobile responsive templates along with 10 GBs of storage space. If you want to purchase advanced Wix plans with custom domain names, you can easily get them in reasonable prices starting from $5.

Joomla!

This particular content management system has a large extension ecosystem and is based on PHP. It is well suited for supporting complicated sites that have a large number of web pages and is preferred for intranets or giant corporate websites. In fact, almost three percent of the top million websites operate on Joomla!

From blogs to small business websites and from e-commerce stores to social media networks, Joomla works well for all types of development. It is only often used to create e-magazines. It has a widget system that is more flexible and it is also multilingual. Just like WordPress, Joomla also has its own web-page builders.

Weebly

Weebly’s mobile application is rated highest on both, Google Play and Apple app store amongst all the website building mobile applications. Capterra has ranked this drag & drop website builder on the fifth number. It usually offers over 100 templates and a storage space of 100 GBs. Its themes are not just SEO friendly but also e-commerce ready.

Its paid packages start from $8 and sometimes also include free domain names as well as $100 free credits for Google ads. Most of all, there is a 30 days money back guarantee. Weebly also offers an exceptional customer support so users have absolutely nothing to worry about!

Blogger

Blogger is another renowned free publishing platform. It offers more than 1000 templates and 1GB storage space. Since it is a product of Google itself, it can also be easily integrated with Google AdSense. Blogger sites can be upgraded to e-commerce sites by using a third-party add-on. User can also get custom domain names with the help of HTTPs or SSL.

Although great as a blogging tool, Blogger is not preferred by developers creating small websites.

Perch

If you are someone who does not have technical web-development knowledge, Perch might not be the best and easiest solution for you. However, if you are a developer looking for a reliable way to build your user-friendly blog or small website, Perch might be an exceptional choice for you.

Although Perch does not have themes of its own, it can help you add all the features of a content management system into your website, which is already designed. Note that there is no free version to Perch but Perch does offer a 7 days back guarantee.

These are just a few alternatives to WordPress. There are numerous other ones that you could explore and use for your blogs or small business websites.
