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

Best Practices for home page design for ecommerce website
I know this question is not directly related to SEO, but I figured I have been getting some good help from this forum, so why not? The website is www.vrtack.com. I am looking to redesign the home page. It is an ecommerce website selling equestrian clothing and leather goods. My goals are: 1. Reduce the very high bounce rate and drop-off rate. 2. Fine tune the relevancy of the website towards a handful of keyword phrases. 3. Engage the visitor to create better click-through and to increase the average time spent on the page/site. 4. Page Loading time is of importance. It has to load quickly. I would love to hear some specific suggestions, examples, best practices.

What would be the best way to translate my website for international seo?
I am planning on creating a multi language website that targets different countries and would like to know what would be the best way to translate my content from English to multiple different languages (French, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, etc.). I would hire a translator but doing so for all these different languages would be too costly. Using Google translate will leave me with at best a rough translation. What are my other options? Is there a website that can provide me a better translation? Would Fiver be a better/cheaper alternative? Thoughts?

Best Way To Have HD Videos On Site That Will Work On Mobile Devices
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I am working on a site for a client who works at a video production company. They want to have a fair few HD videos on there site but also for the site and videos to be viewable on mobile devices. I have got a responsive wordpress theme and the site is beginning to take shape. I am wondering however how I can best get the videos to display on mobile devices while maintaining a good load speed. Until now I have been using amazon S3 which stores and feeds the videos and I use Easyvideoplayer to embed the videos. The problem is they do not appear to show up from mobile devices when using wordpress. can anyone suggest the best way for me to still feed the videos from S3 but get them to display on mobile devices. oh, they are private videos so they cannot be placed on youtube.

What's the best way to structure original vs aggregated content
We're working on a news site that has a mix of news wires such as Reuters and original opinion articles. Currently the site is setup with /world /sports etc categories with the news wire content. Now we want to add the original opinion content. Would it be better to start a new top /Opinion category and then have sub-categories for each Opinion/world, Opinion/sports subject? Or would it be better to simply add an opinion sub-category under the existing news categories, ie /world/opinion? I know Google requests that original content be in a separate directory to be considered for inclusion in Google news. Which would be better for that? Regarding link building, if the opinion sub-categories were under the top news categories, would the link juice be passed more directly than if we had a separate Opinion top category?
