0 farmeunit Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wordpress is pretty simple. What is she wanting to do with it, exactly? Lots of hosts have a one-click install for it. There are many, but depends on use. xendrome 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MikeChipshop Member Posted June 25, 2015 Member Share Posted June 25, 2015 Your customer will be better off using a CMS than a drag n droper. Drag and drop websites are horrific, the code is bloated, they're slow and they're no good for SEO, no matter what they might claim. Stick her up a copy of WordPress instead.

0 ashpowell Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Sometimes you don't need a fast, code optimized website for a low traffic simple site used by a small local business. Focus on the customer... Indeed, focus on the customer.. by giving her a decent site that will convert viewers to customers. A slow site which is coded badly will have bugs and put off viewers from staying on the site if it doesn't load quickly etc. Viewers aren't going to be able to find her site in the first place if it doesn't rank well... speed and code behind a website play an important factor in this. Don't use Wix and alike.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 PatriarchMage Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I believe you should suggest your client to get the website prepared on wordpress. Making a website on wordpress is best from all points of views it is user friendly , it is not that costly plus it is best for SEO purposes to a great extent.
