The process of getting a professional website consists of many big decisions. One of the biggest decisions you’ll make early is what platform to use to build your website. We’ve provided food for thought by listing some of the most popular options out there, with a focus on what we believe is the best of them all.  

No matter what website platform you want to use or already use, the WEBPRO Creative team can serve your business. We have in-house professionals with vast experience building and improving websites built on all popular platforms.   

What is a website platform? 

A website platform refers to the software used to build a website. Some website platforms allow you to build your website yourself by dragging and dropping designs and functionality onto a pre-made website template whilst others require more specialist knowledge.  

The website platform isn’t just responsible for creating the website. It’s also used to manage all the ongoing website settings and website content, which is why the platform might also be called a Content Management System (CMS). 

What are the most popular website building platforms? 

Even if you’ve never attempted to create a website before, you’ll probably know about some of the most popular website platforms. WordPress is the most famous website platform, having around 43% of the total market share of all websites active right now.  

Some of the other popular options are: 

• Drupal 
• Wix 
• HubSpot 
• WooCommerce 
• Shopify 
• Squarespace 

When deciding which website platform to use, you may want to think about user-friendliness, pricing, design options, website functionality, customer support availability, data ownership and data portability (just in case you want to move).  

Why WEBPRO Creative loves Drupal 

At WEBPRO Creative, we always recommend a website platform based on the client’s specific requirements and objectives. However, we more often find ourselves recommending Drupal as the best website platform.  We’re not affiliated with Drupal or getting paid by them in any way – we just think their platform rocks.  

We specifically love Drupal as a website platform because: 

1. Drupal is exceptionally flexible and scalable – it can be utilised by an array of businesses from vastly different industries.  
2. Drupal sites look awesome – our team and our clients usually agree that Drupal websites just look the best. 
3. Drupal is highly secure – you get frequent security updates with Drupal which make it one of the most secure options available.  
4. Drupal contributes to SEO – a myriad of new features is making it easier to rank a Drupal website, such as content delivery networks and image optimisation.

Recap: Website platforms form the basis of any website build. Many of these platforms also function as Content Management Systems (CMSs) to manage website content and ongoing security. There are lots of good options out there, including the likes of WordPress, Squarespace, WooCommerce and more. But at WEBPRO Creative, we believe Drupal is the cream of the crop right now, which is why we often recommend it to our clients.
