- If your competition all drove blue cars – would you?
- If your competition all wrote with a red pen – would you?
- If your competitors all used the same computer – would you?
- If your competitors used WordPress for their website – would you?
It’s so popular, and format so predictive, that even a non-techie can spot a WordPress site from across the coffee shop.
I’m sure your business isn’t like everyone else’s or you’re branding like anyone else’s – so break away from your competitors, be unique, and stop using WordPress for your website!
There are better choices for small business websites than WordPress!
For instance, I use SquareSpace for my Rhode Island SEO website – what really hooked me years ago was the backend – the burned-in SEO is one of the best in the industry. And unlike WordPress, you never have to worry about an extension that was created in a 15yo’s garage failing and leaving your business scrambling for a replacement – the SEO is built right into SquareSpace!
One website design firm in Rhode Island that I have worked with has coded their own back-end for their custom websites burning in some great SEO right on the platform – while another creates amazing infinite scrolling parallax websites. Both are completely unique, affordable for small businesses, and undeniably not a WordPress template site.
Options are aplenty – here are a few more alternatives to consider instead of WordPress:
So break the mold and have a website as unique as your business.
Using the same marketing tools to battle your competition is a long-path to reaching your goals. You need to up your game if you want to conquer your local market.
Consider these WordPress alternatives and stop the WP insanity – dare to be different.
