Native HTML vs. Website Builder

1 points by Jamie_Frew 6y ago ↗ HN

Hi folks, we are a young start up currently with a simple native html website. We are finding it a bit time consuming for our technical founder to manage content updates and a/b testing. How do other startups solve for this problem, do you use a content manager or just go to a website builder like Wix, Squarepace etc.Any wisdom would be appreciated!

Use a builder until you have enough time and cash to pay for a serious branding effort.

SquareSpace is good, but there are lots of static site hosts/builders that are tailored to early startups and will have better landing pages for your purposes.

WPEngine, a hosted WordPress provider, is great for blog type sites. If you're selling stuff with e-commerce, Shopify is easy, too. Both have plugins for A/B testing and other things you are likely to want.

Thanks for the feedback. Also just to clarify we are a b2b saas platform : )
