E-Commerce website builders’ applications

Weebly:
[1]Features: Weebly is web design software that allows you to create a website from scratch
or use one of the company's pre-made templates. It is easy to use as it offers a wide range of
features. You can add text, images, videos, and other multimedia content, as well as create
forms and surveys, and integrate social media feeds. Weebly also allows you to sell products
and services online using its e-commerce tools.

Benefits: High design flexibility with themes, the wide variety of options gives you a lot of
creative freedom for building your site. The editor is simple and easy to use, you can even
create and manage from your mobile device since it has its own application.

[2]Limitations: Drag-and-drop customization is limited, the editor is quite restrictive, and the
lack of creative freedom is frustrating. Another limitation is that their templates are not as
modern and contemporary as those of their competitors, which makes it difficult to create a
website that really stands out.

WIX:
[3]Features: Wix is a web development platform that bases its system on the cloud, in which
you can make your website without having deep programming knowledge. It offers you
hundreds of templates and functions with which you can create your website, blog, or online
store. This is ideal for people who are starting a business, they can create their site, store, or
blog at no cost and very easily.

Benefits: Wix is a cloud service that can be accessed from your browser and that users can
visit at any time, from any device, it also offers hundreds of templates to choose from and is
easy to use as it offers a simple and intuitive editor.

[4]Limitations: Some of the limitations are that it does not provide the necessary security for
the data of your clients or companies. Another problem you face is that once the website is
created you cannot change the template, if you want you will have to create a new website
from scratch.

Squarespace:
[5]Features: It is a website builder designed to help build amazing sites. With Squarespace,
you don’t need any coding knowledge at all as it’s simple and easy to use. Is known for its
professional looking templates, its editor is simple based on sections that make the site
building experience fast and effortless.

desktop computers, but also on tablets and mobile devices.

Limitations: It is slightly more expensive than competing website building platforms and
does not offer a free plan but there is a 14-day free trial. It also has no change history, no
backup or restore, it will ask you to save changes frequently since it doesn't save
automatically like in Wix.
