WHAT IS WORDPRESS?
WordPress is an open source (which means it’s free to acquire and use) Content Management System that was originally intended for bloggers and other content creators.
Because of it’s flexibility, modularity, and search engine friendliness, it is used to develop websites for bloggers, e-commerce, corporate sites, churches, and so much more.
For developers and designers, WordPress offers ease of use without giving up control. Not only do designers have the thousands of theme options to choose from, but several companies have created frameworks that allow designers greater levels of customisability.
WordPress vs. Other Platforms
When it comes to building your website, you have a lot of options—WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and more. Each has its place, but if you’re serious about performance, SEO, customization, and long-term growth, WordPress stands in a league of its own.
| Feature | WordPress | Wix | Squarespace |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔧 Flexibility | Unlimited design and functionality possibilities with full code access | Limited to template structure and available widgets | Good design options, but customization is more limited |
| 🚀 SEO Capabilities | Advanced SEO control with plugins like Yoast or Rank Math | Basic SEO tools; limited control over technical SEO | Better than Wix, but still lacks full technical SEO access |
| 📈 Scalability | Extremely scalable for blogs, eCommerce, and enterprise sites | Best for small sites; limited in handling high traffic or complex features | Moderately scalable, but not ideal for large or custom platforms |
| ⚙️ Customization | Fully customizable with themes, plugins, and custom code | Custom code is limited; relies heavily on available blocks | Some code injection allowed, but still constrained |
| 🎯 Ease of Use | More of a learning curve, but far more powerful in the long run | Extremely user-friendly, drag-and-drop interface | Clean interface and easy setup; less complex than WordPress |
| 💵 Cost Control | Full control over hosting, features, and long-term costs | Subscription model; less control over pricing tiers | Also subscription-based; fewer hosting choices |
So, When Is Wix or Squarespace a Better Fit?
If you’re a solo entrepreneur or hobbyist who needs a basic site quickly—and you’re not focused on long-term growth or SEO—Wix or Squarespace might be a good starting point. They’re user-friendly and have a low learning curve.
But if you’re planning to grow, optimize for search engines, or build custom functionality, WordPress is the better long-term investment.
Bottom line: If you want a site that’s not just pretty, but powerful—built to perform in search, grow with your business, and give you full control—WordPress is the way to go.

SEO FRIENDLY
Access To Technical SEO
WordPress allows direct access to:
-
robots.txt and .htaccess files
-
canonical tags
-
301 redirects
-
crawl control and indexing instructions
These are critical for managing duplicate content, crawl budgets, and overall site structure—features often restricted or hidden on Wix and Squarespace.
Lightweight Code
With WordPress, developers have full access to the source code. They can:
-
Remove unnecessary scripts, styles, and plugins
-
Optimize what loads on each page for leaner performance
-
Maintain clean, semantic HTML that’s easier for search engines to crawl
Because it’s open source, there’s no hidden or proprietary code—just clean, customizable structure you can fully control.
Wix and Squarespace, by contrast, generate bloated backend code that can’t be optimized at the same level, making fine-tuned SEO and performance much harder to achieve.
On-Page SEO Control
With WordPress, you can:
-
Customize title tags, meta descriptions, and headers for every page and post.
-
Create custom URL slugs that are clean and keyword-optimized.
-
Add alt text to images for accessibility and SEO.
Wix and Squarespace have limited SEO customization, especially when it comes to deeper structure and automation.
Superior Internal Linking
WordPress makes it easy to:
-
Structure content into categories, tags, and custom taxonomies
-
Create siloed internal linking strategies
-
Use advanced tools like Link Whisper to automate internal linking
These features help search engines better understand your site and improve content discoverability.
Faster Page Loads
With plugins like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, or Autoptimize, WordPress sites can be optimized for:
-
Page speed and Core Web Vitals
-
Lazy loading of images and videos
-
Script minimization and deferment
Wix and Squarespace offer limited control over performance optimizations, and their built-in features can’t match what’s possible with a well-tuned WordPress setup.
Schema & Rich Snippets
With WordPress, you can easily add structured data using plugins or custom code to improve click-through rates with rich snippets like:
-
Reviews
-
FAQs
-
Products
-
Events
Wix and Squarespace support basic schema but don’t offer the same depth or flexibility.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
When I was stuck with what I needed to do for my brand and how to implement digital marketing into my plan, Michael at Firefall Digital Marketing had the solution. This has been the best decision I've made to being a small business owner, and I'm now onto my second website thanks to the guidance I received from Michael. If you're looking to elevate your brand presence, navigate the technical side of things, implement SEO, or have a marketing plan created for you, I highly recommend Firefall Digital Marketing.
Michael hasn't just been a web designer or email marketing expert for me, he's been a true partner in ministry. He's taken all of the digital stuff off of me so I could focus on delivering more content for my subscribers and encouraging the women I've been called to reach.
Michael at Firefall Digital was very professional and knowledgeable. When I didn't understand something, he patiently explained how digital marketing worked in a way I could understand. He delivered a fantastic logo design and brand strategy - because I started from square one. He did a great job building my website and even started driving traffic to the site. He stayed in close contact with me, providing me with frequenty updates. I'm thankful for the chance to work with him.
Michael did a great job for us many years ago when we launched our brick and morter store. I needed a solution just to make the public aware of our business and he delivered a great looking website. Years later, he even updated the design so it would be fresh and fun. He did a great job!
