What is the Best Alternative for WordPress

[Kane]

Wordpress is a popular contewnt management system for building websites, you can create different kinds of websites in wordpress. By the way what is the best alternative for wordpress? What program would you use if you are not using wordpress? Do you consider Drupal and Joomla best alternatives or would you go with Wix and Squarespace?

If I had to avoid Wordpress, I would probably consider Butter CMS because it runs on Next.js and is probably going to be programmatically sound. I could deploy that on Vercel so it would be very easy to host. That would be a top choice for a blog site.

For a business, I would be inclined toward the Hubspot CMS. That would probably have enough business tools to get the products and functions moving.

Wix and Squarespace would be good alternatives for people who don't want to learn how to manage a website and want everything to be easy and code-free. They would be alternatives to Wordpress.com and less self-hosted Wordpress proper.

Never heard of Butter CMS, I checked the link and found it to be a clean platform. I have been using Hubspot website for a long time but I have never considered using its CMS. When it comes to using CMS, I am more inclined toward using free platforms. I cannot imagine paying $30 per month for Hubspot CMS.

Correct if I’m wrong, but somehow I’ve got the impression that you run and you’re used to hosting forums and blogs, which rely on ad revenue, affiliate marketing, sponsors, and small subscriptions to survive, and historically tend to have extremely slim cash flows.

A business, on the other hand, has investors, business loans, and customers, and thus has more capital to throw around. And for a product-selling business, product must move to keep the show afloat. Hubspot are expert marketers at getting product to move, so using their service is a strong idea if you need your goods to end up in online shopping carts. If you are a sock manufacturer ing company that sells 100 packs of socks per month for $1 profit per sock pack, all Hubspot has to do is change that to 135 packs of socks for their product to be worth it.

The alternative, of course, would be a Wordpress site with a Shopify plugin and a lot of marketing homework to sell the socks online.

I am running small websites, blogs, forums, and online stores (built on woocommerce, a free platform of course). My website brings small revenue through ads that not only help me run my website but also pay my bills. I do not want to spend mon ey on anything that will increase my cost, and reduce my profits. But just like you says, I understand businesses can pour money because they will receive greater returns.
