let\u2019s look at some of the elements an <strong>ecommerce website builder<\/strong> provides that are essential for any ecommerce site. Understanding why these basic commerce features matter can help you be in a better position to create an <strong>online presence<\/strong> and set your store up successfully!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High Quality &amp; Easy to Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start by saying that if you choose one of the more popular website builders, you will have access to enough tools to build a successful web store. But high quality and easy-to-use don\u2019t always go hand in hand, which is why builder reviews can be helpful for business owners when getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high-quality ecommerce website allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/ecommerce-website-design\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6330\">build a solid design<\/a>, sell products online, payment processing (from sources like Apple pay, Google pay, and credit cards and debit cards), and offer <strong>social media integrations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media integration and multichannel sales mean that products can be easily linked and featured on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. This cross-posting allows better brand (and product) exposure across different mediums from one central location. This means you can skip a rigorous setup process on each where products need to be loaded again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outside of small or outdated ecommerce platforms, these essential features shouldn\u2019t be hard to find from a quality ecommerce site builder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is identifying the platform that makes these features easy for you as the business manager while remaining simple for website visitors \u2013 and balancing both with your site builder investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not find advanced ecommerce features like integrated inventory management, a seamless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/credit-card-processors\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6331\">payment processor<\/a> (not to be confused with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/learn\/payment-gateway\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6332\">payment gateways<\/a>) with automated sales tax, and abandoned cart recovery from a free online store builder. Still, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/how-to-start-an-online-store\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6333\">when building your online store<\/a>, they\u2019re integral ecommerce tools (and may be worth paying for, depending on your needs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for a high-quality platform to present your online business in the best light, but don\u2019t sacrifice ease of use. Whether you plan to use a design agency to build your website and start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/sell-online\/\" title=\"How to Sell Online: Products, Business Models &amp; More\" data-lasso-id=\"6334\">selling online<\/a> or try to DIY, understanding the platform, what it offers, and being able to use it are the top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quality and Variety of Templates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your online store shouldn\u2019t look like everyone else\u2019s, which can happen if you choose a website builder with limited options. Look for quality templates and advanced design features that don\u2019t look boring or basic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why care about variety and the quality of ecommerce templates?<\/strong> Building your brand means showcasing what makes you unique and stand out in the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to an ecommerce site builder, drag-and-drop options from a template gallery simply mean that you can add and move design sections and elements without having to know how to write complex code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A variety of beautiful templates mean you\u2019ll be able to select one that properly represents your brand \u2013 and isn\u2019t so basic that it\u2019s immediately recognizable from the platform. If you select a builder with limited template options, the store you build will look similar to others in your space, leaving little ability to build brand identity, customer trust, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/customer-loyalty-programs\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6336\">customer loyalty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, some stores (like <strong>Shopify and Wix<\/strong>) offer hundreds of themes, both free and for purchase. Your online store can be customized and truly tailored to represent your brand with such a wide range of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Depth of Customization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing the best ecommerce website builder, customization matters. Your online store is a representation of your brand, so being able to select colors, fonts, and how your images are displayed for your ecommerce website is non-negotiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the basics, the <strong>level of customization<\/strong> from your ecommerce website builder can help set your online store apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrations (from plugins to software connections), and the ability to upload custom design elements, font files, and more are something to expect from any of the best ecommerce website builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about a basic site with two or three sections that look repetitive and mundane versus a site that features unique elements and design functionalities. Scrolling text, moving icons, parallax movement, and more complex visuals help make your online store unique to your brand and memorable to your customer. And access to features like that depends on the platform you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When selecting your ecommerce website builder, balance the <strong>monthly cost<\/strong> (free plans versus paid plans) with the level of sophistication and customization to make your online store stand out. For some, the cheapest plan may make the most sense as long as it\u2019s a scalable platform, and for others, an advanced plan may be required from day one. Find the best fit for you and your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intuitive UI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve covered the additional features that make ecommerce websites personalized and <strong>easy to use<\/strong>, but a good (or the best website builder) also takes website design and the user experience into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interaction-design.org\/literature\/topics\/intuitive-design\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6337\">Intuitive UI<\/a> uses web design with a clear menu, navigation, displays, and other elements to make moving through the website \u2013 from page to page \u2013 a simple process. When new visitors land on the site, overwhelming them with products, images, or too many ways to navigate to the next step is a bad idea. While it may be understandable for software experts, it doesn\u2019t work for your potential customers and can affect loading speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/online-shopping-websites\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11029763\" data-lasso-id=\"22777\">best online stores<\/a> don\u2019t require excessive clicks to scroll through <strong>unlimited products<\/strong>. Instead, the best ecommerce website builder ensures shopping is easy and intuitive, increasing conversions and the opportunity for repeat sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Website Builders for Ecommerce <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered what to look for when building your site, let\u2019s review. Whether you\u2019re selling <strong>physical products or gift cards<\/strong>, it\u2019s imperative to start with an option that\u2019s high quality, easy to use, and has a wide range of professional templates that work everything from smaller to larger businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to start building a website is by choosing a platform that\u2019s right for you. There are plenty of free options out there, but if you want something that will grow with your company, I recommend going with one of the paid services. Some of them offer unlimited plans, which means they\u2019ll always be able to handle any traffic spikes. Others let you pay only when you reach certain milestones, like reaching 10,000 visitors per month. And some charge monthly fees regardless of whether you hit those numbers, so it\u2019s worth looking into all your options before making a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to start with a <strong>15-day free trial<\/strong> or <strong>basic plan<\/strong> (that\u2019s inexpensive) before moving from the basic plan to something more sophisticated with powerful features and a heftier price tag. Decide what level of customization you need and which platform makes the most sense. While there is no perfect option, choosing the right online store platform for you when getting started will help you grow and scale easily in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know what to look for let\u2019s dive into how the top ecommerce website builders compete, starting with Shopify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-In-One-Commerce-Solution-Ecommerce-Software-And-Point-Of-Sale-Shopify-1200x601.jpg\" alt=\"All In One Commerce Solution Ecommerce Software And Point Of Sale Shopify\" class=\"wp-image-11017611\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-In-One-Commerce-Solution-Ecommerce-Software-And-Point-Of-Sale-Shopify-1200x601.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-In-One-Commerce-Solution-Ecommerce-Software-And-Point-Of-Sale-Shopify-720x361.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-In-One-Commerce-Solution-Ecommerce-Software-And-Point-Of-Sale-Shopify-768x385.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-In-One-Commerce-Solution-Ecommerce-Software-And-Point-Of-Sale-Shopify-1024x513-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-In-One-Commerce-Solution-Ecommerce-Software-And-Point-Of-Sale-Shopify.jpg 1403w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/recommends\/shopify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6338\" data-lasso-name=\"Shopify\">Shopify <\/a>is one of the most popular website builders in the ecommerce space. That\u2019s because its robust platform was built for ecommerce. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/recommends\/shopify\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"6339\" data-lasso-name=\"Shopify\">This site builder<\/a> handles everything from <strong>web hosting to client messaging<\/strong> seamlessly with minimal hassle and <strong>easy-to-use backend order management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Shopify platform, you can easily sell products from your online store through other social platforms (like Facebook and Instagram) with the click of a button. You can also create coupon codes or promo codes for online sales and more. It also has great POS integration for checkouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Shopify platform supports almost any <strong>ecommerce business plan<\/strong>, whether you\u2019re a startup or running a large web store. That\u2019s thanks to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/shopify-pricing-plans\/\" title=\"Ultimate Guide to Shopify Pricing Plans\" data-lasso-id=\"6340\">pricing plans<\/a> that go from basic (perfect for a few sales per month) to ShopifyPlus, which supports almost unlimited products and sales with the tools of a sophisticated operation. Shopify\u2019s platform offers great options if you want to go for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/learn\/what-is-dropshipping\/\" title=\"What Is Dropshipping\" data-lasso-id=\"6341\">dropshipping<\/a> method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another pro in Shopify\u2019s corner is the extensive plugin store that allows small businesses to add what they need to reach potential customers without requiring extensive coding or customization flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need an app to limit deliveries by day? There\u2019s an app for that. What about a calendar and booking integration? Shopify has you covered. You can even set up an <a title=\"Ecommerce Email Marketing: Best Strategies to Boost Your Campaign\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/ecommerce-email-marketing\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6342\">email marketing <\/a>tools using Shopify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even with all its bells and whistles, there are downfalls with Shopify. Even with its vast variety of payment method options, you\u2019ll need to be aware of its additional <strong>transaction fees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify is a complex business software and robust ecommerce website builder with an attractive range of templates, user-minded features, and a wide range of apps. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s one of the best sales platforms around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/www.wix_.com_Screenshot-1200x609.png\" alt=\"Wix Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-11026654\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/www.wix_.com_Screenshot-1200x609.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/www.wix_.com_Screenshot-720x365.png 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/www.wix_.com_Screenshot-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/www.wix_.com_Screenshot.png 1380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up in our builder comparisons is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/recommends\/wix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6343\" data-lasso-name=\"Wix\">Wix<\/a>. Wix makes the list of best ecommerce website builders for being user-friendly with an <strong>easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder<\/strong> that allows you to quickly set up an <strong>ecommerce store<\/strong> and be ready to sell online (you\u2019ll even get a free domain name for the first year if you go for the annual plan). It\u2019s known as being a beginner-friendly website builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As website builders go, Wix is an intuitive platform with <strong>hundreds of customizable templates<\/strong> with design flexibility and even artificial intelligence if you want to use the automated ecommerce store builder. In addition, <strong>all Wix websites come with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates and unlimited bandwidth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And like Shopify, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/recommends\/wix\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"6344\" data-lasso-name=\"Wix\">Wix ecommerce site<\/a> provides hosting that has an impressive uptime rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, when you build an online store with Wix, you\u2019ll have a dashboard that allows you to manage shipping options, payments, orders, inventories, revenue, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s lacking? One of the benefits of Wix (easy, simple designs that can be completed easily) can also be a negative in some cases. While the design is easy to execute on Wix, sometimes the simplicity means users miss the complexity required to launch a successful site for search engines. Further, Wix does not come with an integrated POS system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking good to the end user isn\u2019t all that matters, so if you plan to use Wix, be sure to understand how to structure the site and complete your <strong>search engine optimization (SEO)<\/strong> data correctly. Otherwise, you may end up with an attractive site that doesn\u2019t gain organic traffic over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BigCommerce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1119\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-1119x629.png\" alt=\"BigCommerce\" class=\"wp-image-11023213\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-1119x629.png 1119w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-671x377.png 671w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-720x405.png 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-500x281.png 500w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768-1280x720.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bigcommerce_com_1366_768.png 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1119px) 100vw, 1119px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/recommends\/bigcommerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6345\" data-lasso-name=\"BigCommerce\"><strong>c<\/strong> <\/a>makes the list of best website builders for its selection of basic features that support B2C and B2B sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BigCommerce supports multichannel selling more than other site builders, so utilizing the point-of-sale system is as easy as sharing across <strong>Instagram, <a title=\"How To Set Up Google Shopping For Selling Success\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/how-to-setup-google-shopping\/\" data-lasso-id=\"6346\">Google Shopping<\/a>, eBay, Amazon, and Facebook<\/strong> with your choice of payment providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website builder itself has drag-and-drop functionality, and that makes getting started easy, but the <strong>extensive list of advanced features<\/strong> makes fully utilizing this online platform more complex than other basic <strong>ecommerce site builders<\/strong>, but giving you more creative control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BigCommerce offers a free trial, so you can see if it\u2019s right for you.

Traditional menu options work well for average-sized sites, but if you are building something massive and need customized menu options and navigation features, Squarespace may not be for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding ecommerce, Squarespace stays competitive on features but also charges <strong>zero transaction fees and has no product limits<\/strong> \u2013 all while providing exceptional customer support if you get stuck.

Ecwid was designed as a widget that adds ecommerce functionality to an existing site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, Ecwid has added options to build a standalone site called Instant Site. Instant Site is included with every Ecwid account and is very intuitive. Some of its benefits are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Free to use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile friendly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Essential SEO tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully customizable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No coding knowledge<\/strong> is needed to design your website with Instant Site. Just choose your template, typography, images, and layout to suit your brand\u2019s style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upside of Ecwid is its affordability, with a free option that gets you started selling online quickly. Don\u2019t expect much from this free option in the way of built-in features or support, but do use it if your budget per month needs to stay low or you want to upgrade an existing (non-ecommerce) site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zyro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/zyro.com_Screenshot-1200x609.png\" alt=\"Zyro Homepage\" class=\"wp-image-11026174\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/zyro.com_Screenshot-1200x609.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/zyro.com_Screenshot-720x365.png 720w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/zyro.com_Screenshot-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/zyro.com_Screenshot.png 1380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While not the most sophisticated option, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/recommends\/zyro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"6354\" data-lasso-name=\"Zyro\">Zyro <\/a>is another platform that competes on price. <strong>The cheapest plan on this platform starts at under $5 per month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up a layout is a breeze thanks to the drag and drop builder, as is customizing a theme.
