The Best Website Platform for Small Business Owners

At La Mejor Website, we have worked with many platforms over the years. Weebly, WordPress, Squarespace, Opencart, OsCommerce, and Wix all have their place in the web design world. When business owners meet with us for the first time, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Which is the best website platform?” The truth is that it depends on your goals and preferences, but here is our professional point of view based on more than 15 years of experience.

Choosing the right platform for your website is an important decision. Our professional point of view is that Wix gives businesses the best balance of customization, cost efficiency, SEO readiness, and ease of use. With over a decade of experience, international recognition, and a long history of certifications from Wix, we know how to build a site that not only looks great but also performs.

Wix vs WordPress vs Squarespace: Which is the Best Website Platform?

WordPress has been around for decades and is what many people think of as the “old school” choice for blogs and websites. It is a powerful platform, but it usually requires third-party plugins, constant updates, and often a developer to keep everything running smoothly. Some businesses like it for its history and flexibility, but for many small and medium-sized businesses, it can feel complicated and costly to maintain.

Squarespace is another option that works well for businesses that do not need a high level of customization. It offers attractive templates and is easy to get started with, but it can feel limited once you want to go beyond what the template allows. For businesses that want something simple and clean without ongoing changes, Squarespace can be a good fit.

Wix, in our view, combines the best of both worlds. It provides full customization like WordPress but without the headaches of plugins, updates, or security concerns. It also offers an all-in-one service, so you do not need to rely on third parties for hosting or essential features. For SEO, Wix gives you a clear path with built-in tools and the flexibility to go deeper when you are ready. For design, it allows us to build completely custom sites from scratch while giving business owners the ability to manage updates themselves.

We work with all platforms, but Wix is the one we consistently recommend because it balances professional quality with business owner freedom.

Can I maintain or update the site myself?

That is one of the biggest advantages of Wix. Business owners can log in, make quick edits, update photos, or change text without needing to know code. We also provide guidance so our clients feel comfortable handling their own updates. This independence is what makes Wix attractive to businesses that want control without losing professional quality.

Does Wix offer design freedom?

Absolutely. Wix allows us to custom design from scratch so your site does not look like a template. From layout to animations to advanced features in Wix Studio, we can create a design that reflects your brand while still keeping it simple for you to manage. You get both freedom and flexibility without being tied to restrictive layouts.

This is a good one: Is Wix good for SEO?

Yes, when done correctly. Wix includes built-in SEO tools, and as Google Partners we take it further with technical SEO, structured data, and local optimization. We have seen Wix websites compete and rank alongside sites built on other platforms. The key is professional setup, which is where our 15 years of experience make the difference.

How does Wix handle mobile optimization?

Mobile optimization is automatic in Wix, which saves time and prevents common design mistakes. We always fine tune mobile layouts to make sure your website looks professional on any device. Since most people search from their phones, having a site that loads quickly and looks polished on mobile is critical. Wix makes this process smooth.

Our journey with Wix started in 2010 when we became certified as a Wix Pro. By 2014, we were recognized as Wix Experts.
