The platform you use to edit your website is called your content management system. It’s where you log in to build new webpages, update contact information, add images and make other changes to your website.
There are lots of options when it comes to choosing a content management system for your child care website. One of the most user-friendly options is Wix. Why should your center choose Wix?
1. User-Friendly
Wix was designed for users who don’t know very much about web design, web development or even technology in general. When you start a website with Wix, the platform will walk you through some of the most important steps. It also takes care of a lot of the technical details, such as security, hosting and creating a backup of your site.
This content management system tries to be very straight forward, which is a good thing for small businesses without the knowledge or capital to build a more robust website. However, because of this, Wix websites aren’t super customizable.
2. Lots of Templates
There are many templates to choose from when you build your website with Wix. You can sort by category or search using a phrase like “child care” or “school” to find the right one. Wix templates are designed to be responsive to screen size. That means your website will be mobile friendly.
Tip: Choose a template you love. You can’t switch to a new template without starting over.
3. Quick to Build
Because Wix is so user-friendly and walks you through the first steps of building your website, everything comes together really quickly once you get the hang of things. Elements like photos and text boxes can be dragged and dropped exactly where you want them.
4. App Market
Wix offers an app market similar to WordPress’s library of plugin options. You can add forms, maps, calendars and even an online store using apps.
5. Quality Support
When you’re doing something as big as building your center’s website, you’re bound to have questions. There are tons of FAQs and how tos in Wix’s support center. If their step-by-step directions don’t answer your question, you can contact the help team by submitting a support ticket or requesting a phone call.
