Where each brand stands out

Wix

    Platform · Best for · Ease of setup · Pros · Tradeoffs Wix · Small businesses wanting everything in one place · ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ · Very easy drag-and-drop setup, templates, hosting included, built-in blog tools · Less flexible than WordPress as you grow Squarespace · Companies that want a polished brand look · ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ · Beautiful designs, simple editing, hosting and blogging together · Less customizable than WordPress WordPress.com · Businesses that may grow a serious content engine · ⭐⭐⭐⭐ · Huge ecosystem, strong SEO options, lots of extensions · More choices can mean more learning Ghost · Content-focused companies/newsletters · ⭐⭐⭐⭐ · Fast, clean writing experience, excellent for newsletters · Less of a general business website builder support.wix.com My recommendation for most new company blogs: If you already have a website: add the blog to whatever platform your site uses (least hassle).
