Allot of people have asked what’s the difference between Shopify or other self-hosted closed cms, compared to WordPress and Wizseller systems? Allot! So we listed out the fundamental difference and why it’s important to do your homework before committing to a closed CMS such as Shopify or Wix or Weebly. Because you don’t want to spend 1000$ of dollars for a basic website that you can’t really customize. Don’t be fooled by FREE, they get you by nickel and dimming you. In the end, you will get allot les and pay allot more for these closed CMS systems.
1. WordPress is Portable, All Other are Not!
With our optimized CMS systems, your website is built on the award-winning CMS called WordPress. WordPress is open-source (and Free) and is open to thousands of other programmers who contribute daily to updating and extending the CMS and is completely portable. So if you move to another company you can back up and move the site. If you build your site without an open source CMS you become committed to that hosting company as you cannot move your site.
Shopify: Not Portable, (You can never move your website)
Wix: Not Portable, (You can never move your website)
Weebly: Not Portable, (You can never move your website)
Wizseller.com is Portable and can moved to any other hosting company.
2. Many More Extension for WordPress 45,000 and counting
Shopify, Wix, and Weebly have limited amount of plugins and some plugins that are actually free on WordPress will cost you a pretty penny on other platforms. Example, Yoast SEO cost $9.99 a month on Shopify, but is actually free on WordPress plugins. In addition, most of their plug ins are paid rather than free. The majority of plug ins for WordPress are free, some paid version available. WordPress has over 40, 000 and counting plugins. Many of them free to use.
