Drawbacks of Online Website Builder
1. No Creativity
Since the images, themes, effects & everything is made
beforehand and by some other designer, it will not be a creative
website. It will be just a run of the mill website.
2. No Flexibility
Since the online website builder has to follow some protocols
and restrictions of the server on which it is hosted, there
is a limited amount of flexibility. For Eg. if it is hosted
on a Linux Web Server than yuo will not able to run ASP scripts
on your website as well. Further more, you will also not be
able to change the structure of the web page theme that you
have selected.
3. Same --- Same
It is quite possible that the website that you design through
Online Website Builder will most probably be the same as another
website which is also designed by the same Online Website
Builder, since all the images & effects are used from
the same database. Would yuo like your website to seem a copy
of other website.
4. Limited Freedom
With online website builders you have limited freedom on incorporating
your own images & effects, all the site builders do not
give you the freedom to incorporate your images, and even
if they allow you to do the same than it's ona very limited
scale.
5. No SEO
A professional web designer will take care of optimizing your
website for search engine rankings, but no such thing can
be done when you design a website with online website builder.
The list and the argument can go on and on, but you have to
strike a balance and evaluate your requirements and analyse
if using a online website builder is beneficial to you or
not.
