For the construction of foreign trade independent websites, some sellers choose WordPress to build websites, while some sellers choose Shopify. Let’s make a comparative analysis of these two website building methods.
1. Shopify
Shopify SaaS website building: suppliers deploy application software uniformly on their own servers, while sellers customize different services and durations according to needs (for example: Shopify, Shopline, etc.).
Shopify is the representative of SaaS website building.
If the seller’s product is a C-end product and you want to place an order directly online, you can use Shopify to build an independent website.
Shopify requires monthly rent, with a minimum price of $29 per month. Shopify has free themes that can be used, but the number and functions are limited.
Sellers can search for theme area templates that sellers like, and can install various APP plug-ins.
APP can realize a variety of Shopify functions. Shopify’s backend operation is simple and quick to get started, but one thing is that once you get used to the Shopify backend, it will become relatively difficult to learn other website building platforms.
In terms of Google inclusion, Shopify is not very friendly to Google, and the speed of word output is also very slow.
What is word output? Word output tells the number of the top 100 keywords that the seller’s website participates in. You can use Ahrefs to view organic keywords on the website. The more words a site publishes, the greater the chance of getting rankings and traffic.
Compared with WordPress, Shopify’s word output speed is much slower, and the website building of the SaaS system is different from the WordPress independent site. Shopify is the same IP.
There are so many such websites under the same IP, how can Google identify them? This is too unfriendly for new sites.
The templates and functions of the SaaS website building system have been restricted, and sellers can only drag to complete the web page construction, but cannot design according to their own themes. This type of SEO has great limitations.
2. WordPress
Compared with Shopify, WordPress sites are more suitable for Google’s SEO, which is crucial.
It is possible to build a personalized station, and what functions you want to achieve can be achieved one by one. Using WordPress, you can build any type of website, such as traditional B2B websites, blog websites, review websites, niches, etc. You can customize your favorite website according to your needs.
The WordPress construction system backend is free to use, with 0 monthly rent. You can choose from a large number of free WordPress themes. A large number of plug-ins are practical and have a unique IP address.
WordPress independent stations are increasingly becoming the best choice for foreign trade independent stations. In the long run, they can do a good job in content layout and SEO optimization.
WordPress can help sellers build websites at a low cost, and it is more convenient for Google’s SEO optimization and ranking.
So, the final conclusion is:
The C-end can choose Shopify.
The B-end can close their eyes and choose WordPress, and it won’t be wrong.
The above is the difference between Shopify and WordPress in building independent stations, which I have sorted out. I hope it will be helpful to you.
