Best Website Builder - Help Me Choose
-
I need to built a multi language site (to built a Pilates, Yoga site) and I will use a site builder. After posting questions on wix.com I came to the fact I should continue my research because there are not SEO friendly.
Do you have a suggestions?
Limited to html knowledge, using a website builder is my only option.
Here are some of the features I need:
- Multilanguage Web Site
- Mobile version
- SEO Friendly
- Nice Template Selections( this is important)
- HTML customization
- Twitter, Facebook, Blog...
I'm not looking at free website builder, when you want good features, there is a price to paid.
Thank you for your help and suggestions,
BigBlaze

Sorry for the late response, but you should also check out Breezi, as it meets all of your requirements and then some (and yes, I'm from Breezi, so I'm biased of course). WordPress is a good platform as well, but the drawback is that you'll likely spend a lot of time in theme customizations, installing plugins, etc.
We have a limited number of pre-designed themes currently, but we'll be ramping up over the next few weeks and adding a lot more.
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions!

Would it be spammy of me to say www.basekit.com?! It has everything you need. It's either us or SquareSpace - we're regarded as the best. All the others are pretty lacking or use flash. Even Wix's recent HTML5 push is still very much flash-based.

Well, you can perform a search for 'Free premium wordpress themes' and you'll get a very big selection of fantastic designs or you can go to elegantthemes.com and pay for one.
And yes Wordpress is very SEO friendly I believe Matt Cutts even said so.
Hope this helps

You are right, themes looks better then everything a saw in all website builder.
Do you other suggestions site for templates? I don't want a Blog look, I want to built a nice looking website for my Wife who is starting a Pilates Studio soon.
Also, is Worldpress SEO frendly?
Thank you for your help,

I have never used it, but to be honest - the builder itself is probably irrelevant due to your specific requirements. As most sitebuilders are exactly the same - they just have different features - so if you find one with all the features you need go with it!
The only variable is if this builder is also the Host - in this situation just make sure you verify its uptime, support and service.
Hope this helps

You can easily build a website with wordpress and there's loads of themes you can choose from which you can then edit. Have a look at these an see if you like any. They're all free by the way - http://www.fabthemes.com/

I'M trying Webnode, any advice about them?
-
Personally - with your requirements, you are either going to have to do an in depth search of products that will fit your needs - the closest I would say is Weebly or the like - I really think though with your needs, you will be much better off with a CMS - it is a learning curve, but more control.
Other than that - I would suggest learning coding languages
Sitebuilders are built to be easy, and your needs are sort of outside the realm of a normal sitebuilder user.
-
WordPress is to built Blog, right?
I need a complet website
-
I need to built a site where you can select the language.
The site will french and english. -
I strongly recommend you build the site using Wordpress, site builders are usually very limited.
-
It really depends on your preference....
-
you can most definitely customize the URL with Weebly.... But the language? How do you mean? In page translation? Or the controls of the program in another language?
-
It look like they don't have multi language site.
also, not possible to customize page url.Any other options?
-
How about using software, like Intuit?
Wil it be better to use software or a online site builder ?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

if you need hosting and the builder - weebly.com is a pretty good choice - there are drawbacks of course to any sitebuilder, and limited HTML knowledge.
But in my expereince if you are not looking for a CMS, just a "drag and drop" builder - weebly is 100000 times better than wix - as you found out wix is HORRIBLE for SEO.
If you are looking for a little more customization - just find a host that offers a sitebuilder - like Fatcow - they offer weebly pro for an additional price AND you have all the FTP abilities to make advanced HTML changes and additions after using weebly to publish the core components.
Learning HTML and becoming very proficient in it, and its counterparts (php asp ect..) is crucial to SEO though...
Hope this helps

NO Meta description pulling through in SERP with react website - Requesting Indexing & Submitting to Google with no luck
Hi there, A year ago I launched a website using react, which has caused Google to not read my meta descriptions. I've submitted the sitemap and there was no change in the SERP. Then, I tried "Fetch and Render" and request indexing for the homepage, which did work, however I have over 300 pages and I can't do that for every one. I have requested a fetch, render and index for "this url and linked pages," and while Google's cache has updated, the SERP listing has not. I looked in the Index Coverage report for the new GSC and it says the urls and valid and indexable, and yet there's still no meta description. I realize that Google doesn't have to index all pages, and that Google may not also take your meta description, but I want to make sure I do my due diligence in making the website crawlable. My main questions are: If Google didn't reindex ANYTHING when I submitted the sitemap, what might be wrong with my sitemap? Is submitting each url manually bad, and if so, why? Am I simply jumping the gun since it's only been a week since I requested indexing for the main url and all the linked urls? Any other suggestions?

Have an eBook. What is best practice for SEO?
Hello We have a free eBook - its a great resource and great piece of content. It is available to download on our website here - http://re-timer.com/the-product/how-to-sleep-better/ The book is available as a whole or as individual chapters (i.e. http://re-timer.com/app/uploads/2015/07/Chapter8.pdf?b0df38). The PDF chapters appear to be doing well in Google search for certain keywords. I can't measure this in GA though. I would like the eBook to assist the SEO of my website overall. If I create a web page and 'embedded' the PDF into it will Google still crawl this page? At the moment we are also using this to collect email addresses, this is a nice to have and it is OK if people get the eBook without doing this (if they find a chapter in Google they currently don't have to enter their email address). I'm sure lots of people have eBooks now. What is best practice and the best way to use this as a tool to maximise SEO for the whole website (http://re-timer.com)? Thank you! Laura

Multiple websites for different service areas/business functions?
I'm wondering what the implications are for having multiple domains for different service areas of a company? I realize having multiple domains for one company can be troublesome because of the possibility of duplicate content, keyword cannibalization, and linkbuilding to multiple domains. But when the domains are for very different service offerings/unique business functions that each serve their own purpose (and have different positionings), is there a downside to having more than one domain? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Reasons Why Our Website Pages Randomly Loads Without Content
I know this is not a marketing question but this community is very dev savvy so I'm hoping someone can help me. At random times we're finding that our website pages load without the main body content. The header, footer and navigation loads just fine. If you refresh, it's fine but that's not a solution. Happens on Chrome, IE and Firefox, testing with multiple browser versions Happens across various page types - but seems to be only the main content section/container Happens while on the company network, as well as externally Happens after deleting cookies, temporary internet files and restarting computer We are using a CMS that is virtually unheard of - Bridgeline/Iapps Codebase is .net Our IT/Dev group keeps pushing back, blaming it on cookies or Chrome plugins because they apparently are unable to "recreate the problem". This has been going on for months and it's a terrible experience for the user to have. It's also not great when landing PPC visitors on pages that load with no content. If anyone has ideas as to why this may be happening I would really appreciate it. I'm not sure if links are allowed, by today the issue happened on this page serversdirect.com/dm/geek-biz Linking to an image example below knEUzqd

How to put 'Link to this article' HTML code at bottom of article & is it helpful?
Hello, I was thinking about putting a box down at the bottom of my client's main articles that let's the reader easily copy the html code it takes to link to the article they're reading. Maybe I'd put it after the author bio. Do any of you do this? If so, what format do you use? It has to look nice of course. This is a non-techie industry. Thanks.
