Over the years, creating a website has become more and more accessible. While this may seem appealing, choosing the right one for you and your business can present its own set of challenges.
Most website platforms can serve your business, brand, or personal portfolio, however some are undoubtedly better suited to your unique needs than others.
At Lucky Seven Marketing, we offer first class website development & e-commerce services, so here are our top 3 website builders of 2024!
In no particular order, here are Lucky Seven Marketing’s favourite website builders of this year…
FAVOURITE WEBSITE BUILDER: SHOPIFY
Arguably our favourite website builder here at Lucky Seven Marketing! Shopify is your go-to for selling online.
Shopify was built for e-commerce, and consistently rolls out new e-commerce features to showcase and promote your products in the best way possible. It’s fairly intuitive with its range of templates and drag-and-drop functionality. However, we recommend it for more experienced web builders, as customisations beyond the theme are quite limited without the use of custom code.
Despite this, the backend is super user-friendly, specifically when it comes to managing sales, discounts, and fulfilment.

FAVOURITE WEBSITE BUILDER: WIX
Wix is a great generic website builder with a huge variety of templates to choose from.
It’s a super user-friendly platform allowing you drag and drop template sections wherever you please. You’ve got complete creative control and a range of impressive features using Wix, including a mobile site builder, allowing you to easily optimise your design for mobile efficiency.
We also love its in-built Search Engine Optimisations (SEO) checklist which takes you step-by-step through actionable best practice SEO. Wix’s primary setback is that it’s costly for e-commerce businesses. Particularly if you’re selling larger quantities, you’ll need to pay more for advanced product features which isn’t required on other platforms.

FAVOURITE WEBSITE BUILDER: SQUARESPACE
Squarespace is the perfect interface for website beginners – it’s super user friendly and intuitive!
Like Wix and Squarespace, there are many templates to choose from and customise using the drag and drop method, making the design process quite simple. Out of all three, Squarespace has the least design flexibility. While this may seem like a disadvantage, it’s simplicity presents a great opportunity for beginners as it makes up in ease of use and purpose driven design.
Squarespace is GREAT for service based businesses with an opportunity to leverage its in-built booking feature – Acquity Scheduling – allowing clients to book appointments or time slots and pay online. Additionally, it includes ecommerce functionality allowing you to sell online too!
