The website builder landscape

What generic comparisons miss
Feature lists only tell you so much.
Two website builders can appear to offer the same feature and still deliver very different experiences. The right choice is usually about the trade-offs behind the checklist.
01 — Same checkmark. Different depth.
Having a feature isn’t the same as being good at it
Two platforms might both offer ecommerce, bookings or memberships, but the depth, flexibility and quality of those tools can vary considerably.
02 — More capability ≠ better fit
More power isn’t always better
A highly capable platform can still be the wrong choice if it adds setup, maintenance or technical complexity you don’t actually need.
03 — Different strengths. Different compromises.
Every platform has trade-offs
Ease of use, design freedom, specialist features, affordability and technical control rarely peak in the same platform.
