If you’re building a new website, you’ve likely come across these three big names: WordPress, Webflow, and Wix. Each platform offers powerful tools for launching a site—but choosing the right one depends on your goals, budget, design needs, and technical skills.
| Platform | Technical Skill Needed | Learning Curve |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Medium | Moderate |
| Webflow | Medium-High | Steeper |
| Wix | Low | Very Easy |
Winner: Webflow (for advanced design control)
| Platform | Starting Cost | Add-Ons/Plugins | Hosting Included? |
