WordPress versus Dreamweaver or Xsite Pro– which is the best system to build a site?

This has been my number one question for very long time now. Which is the best system for getting traffic and for search engine optimization purposes? I have researched like crazy for many months and asking many people.

Of course everyone has their opinions (and many times misinformed ones) but I have consistently found that top SEO experts only recommend wordpress as the content management system for building a site.

WordPress facilitates a whole bunch of things for getting found- like the pinging and tagging. It also allows for trackbacks and this is great for you because you can easily get a link back to your site with trackbacks. There are other features but they are more in-depth and I’m definitely not an SEO expert to try to explain them here.

The Krazy Katlady over at SEOKats is a search engine optimization expert and has helped shed the light as to why seo is better done with wordpress. Her seo blog is not only informative but funny too:-)

She is not the first seo expert to say this to me.

I think wordpress is aweomse but in order to make it do exaclty what you want with design you do need to get into the code. I still need to figure how to mess with code before starting my authority niche site.

You can always have a dreamweaver site and add on a wordpress blog in the blog folder on cpanel later on.

Xsite pro is defnitely much easier than dreamweaver but dreamweaver has all of the capabilities for web design one could ever ask for. Xsite pro also makes it a snap to optimize your site. To see how Xsitepro works you can see these Xsitepro videos. Watching those will help you understand more about Xsitepro.

Both Xsite Pro and Dreamweaver are html and some people have found ways to put the dreamweaver code into wordpress– wow!! I definitely don’t know how to do this but it is good to know that this is possible.

Personally I am tending towards using wordpress as my main content management sysytem. There are so many widgets and technical capabilities that it is very hard to beat. Like a friend of mine said- wordpress is html on steroids-lol.

I also am doing market research which I think is the absolutely vital process to starting a business online. Many people approach starting a website like going after their passion.

Passion is great and essential but if your market is not lucrative why in the world would you want to spend years creating a whole bunch of content only to figure out later that there weren’t enough searches a day to be able to sustain a business with your passion?

So we need to incorporate passion and market research to decide upon a business.
