Choosing the Right Website Platform: A Matter of Freedom and Sanity

When selecting a website platform, look beyond the monthly subscription costs. The real expenses come in time spent fighting laggy editors, working around limitations, and feeling trapped in closed ecosystems. Remember that your website platform isn't just a tool—it's the foundation of your online presence. Choose one that empowers your creativity rather than restricting it.

The Freedom Factor: Why This Matters

When building a website, editor performance isn't just about speed - it's about maintaining your creative flow:

Every lag breaks your concentration
Every freeze interrupts your momentum
Every limitation stifles your vision

This is why I chose Framer:

Fast, responsive editing
Instant changes
User-friendly interface
Freedom to export your work
Clean, modern code
Intuitive design process

The Hidden Cost of "Easy"

Those "easy" website builders often end up costing more in:

Time wasted waiting for editors to respond
Frustration with limited features
Complex workarounds for basic functionality
Never-ending monthly fees
Being trapped in their ecosystem

Your Website Should Set You Free, Not Trap You

Before choosing a platform, ask yourself:

Do I want to own my website, or rent it forever?
How much is my time worth?
Do I want the freedom to move later?
Am I willing to trade convenience for control?

Remember: The platform you choose isn't just about building a website - it's about building a foundation for your online presence. Choose one that empowers rather than restricts.
