What the best platform for creating Blog website in 2023?

[Marc van Leeuwen]

Which website platform is the most suitable for creating a website in 2023? Should I choose WordPress or Wix, or are there other better options available? I have read conflicting opinions about WordPress's performance in 2022, and I am unsure which platform to choose for my website. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to use a template you should use wordpress. Otherwise your own custom cms would be better and fully customizable.
For Wordpress I recommend using Publisher Wordpress Theme. I have unlimited membership on it so I can help you with the lisences
Publisher Theme has incredible demos for blogs and news type websites I even use them for woocommerce sometimes.

Thank you for the recommendation. Can you tell me more about why you think Publisher Wordpress Theme would be a good fit for my needs? I appreciate the offer to help with the licenses. How would that work exactly?

What you use depends entirely on the kind of website you want to create. Ecommerce, blog, landing, etc. I've seen people using a bloated platform like Wordpress just to create a simple squeeze page, which to me just seems like overkill.

I recommend using Bootstrap for most basic websites, as it's very uncomplicated and user-friendly. Super easy to edit as well.

Don't use Wix....just don't.

but bootstrap doesn't have an admin area or CMS to manage something if wanted.

I would suggest WordPress as it is one of the most familiar platforms because the user interface is intuitive and friendly. To add a new design to your website, you can simply download a theme. If you need to add a new function, like a contact form, you just install a plugin.

Wix is the option I'm using. It really depends on your purpose. If you upgrade higher, there are many options. You can seek advice from experts to help you make better quality investments.

In 2024, many people are flocking to Wix as a blogging platform. WordPress is still king, and it doesn't really get any better than having a self-hosted WP blog - but Wix is beginner-friendly. At the end of the day, it's all about what works best for you and what you're comfortable using.
