Best Websites to watch

2. What is the best option?
• For the construction we must develop a website, so in order to do this a website
building site must be used (Unless we construct a website from fresh using HTML
which is unlikely)
• There was a number of website builders to use such as ‘Webstarts’, ‘Jimdo’ and
‘Yola’ but we have shortlisted a range of websites we could consider for the final
construction down to three of the best.
• These are Wix, Moonfruit and Weebly.
• These websites have got some pros and cons which will play a part in our final
decision as we want our webpage to look professional and appealing.
• The webpage will play a major role in promoting our products which include the
music video and the digipak.

3. WIX.COM

• This website was rated 5 stars out of 5 by Jeremy Wong of ‘WebsiteBuilderExpert.com’
• I was impressed by the amount of amazing templates there were on show as they had
ideas for various types of websites that you may have intended. Such as shops, gaming
sites and music; which is what were looking for.
• It allows you to add features, as many as the creator would like. Also you can implement
them anywhere on your created page giving the user the freedom to create a unique
website. Since our genre is indie based we may take this into consideration and produce a
distinctive website. Also it is more advanced by including mobile versions of a website.
• However the website does have a flaw; in order for them to make a profit they must
include advertisements, so having unwanted ads can add that lack of professionalism to
our webpage and may repel the audiences away from visiting the website.
• Another con is that once you have made a decision on what template to use you can’t
change it to another. But the flexibility of the editor shouldn't make this a problem so you
could add whatever you need. Mixing templates could've and maybe should’ve been a
wonderful prospect for website builders like us, this is to give it that unique feel to the
webpage.

4. Moonfruit

• Moonfruit is recognised for it’s website building expertise. Many people tend to
use Moonfruit because of it’s popularity in the market. It has been running since
the year 2000.
• Like Wix.com there are a variety of templates to choose from, very professional
ones too. The editor is easy to use allowing the user to have more freedom to add
and customize the website.
• The cons are that once you have built your website it won’t last long with it being
removed within weeks of creating it. Meaning there’s no point in actually using
this.
• Since it is one of the pioneers of site building websites some of the features may
be outdated in comparison to newer competitions.

5. Weebly
• Weebly is also rated 5 stars out of 5 by Jeremy Wong of ‘WebsiteBuilderExpert.com’
• The customization is one of the best ones out there; the flexibility to edit your site is
easy to use. Furthermore allows you to become more creative with the site to make it
the webpage you desire, in this case a music artist webpage.
• There are templates but not the vast variety there are on the other site builders. The
templates aren’t as professional as Wix or Moonfruit but the limitless customization
may solve this issue.

6. So what website are we going to use?
• We have come to a conclusion to use Wix.com purely because of the quality and
the close superiority over the other two.
• Moonfruit and Weebly are close competitors but had flaws. Moonfruit is outdated
in some parts and we don’t have the webpage for a long time as it will expire.
• Weebly on the other hand has a brilliant customization however the templates
arent as good as Wix or Moonfruit.
• Wix has great templates and shares the same quality of customization as Weebly.
It’s not perfect but it’s the best option around hence why we have chosen Wix.Com
