  kenny duarte: Hi, i have a question. I'm about to start doing SEO for my uncle's company and our website sucks. Here's is the list of problems:  ;Our website is not responsive, which means we have a separate mobile site from the desktop site ( meaning double the work). Our code is a mess because our current programmer made too many changes to the template and i learned from SEO ( i'm a rookie) that having messy code can affect rankings. Our site is not as fast as it should be and customers complain all the time. My question to you guys is, what's the best option for me right now in terms of finding a website that i can easily manage myself. What i mean by that is, i want to get a beautiful site that i can manage banners, input email marketing and videos/pictures/content myself, instead of having a programmer do that. I feel like i can do that myself. I've researched many great website builders like wix,duda and wordpress. I want to hear your intake on what website to get so i can start fixing our SEO. ;

  Rick Bucich: Hello +kenny duarte - sounds like WordPress is a logical fit if you get it tuned. Mobile optimization is straight forward, there are some effective plugins for most needs. Although folks think of it as a blog platform, it is very useful as a basic CMS as well. Once up and running, it doesn't require deep coding skills to make maintenance edits. Not familiar with Duda, Wix is probably too basic and I see too many of their sites struggle in organic search.

  Ricardo Vidallon: WordPress or Joomla are good choices.

  Tyler Groskreutz: Wix and duda mobile are terrible options if you're looking for anything other than a stop gap measure. Get a site built with a CMS like WordPress.

  Rick Bucich: CMS = content management system. WordPress devepers are usually pretty easy to find and can save you a bunch of learning curve time. I've found them simply via circle of friends in the past. Referrals from a local community or trade college could be a good place to start as well. I taught myself enough to know my way around but also identity my own weaknesses. I'll bet +Leslie Flinger +Astacia Carter or +Lotus Carroll could recommend someone.

  Dave Elliott: wordpress. Its a great platform and because a lot of people use it there are millions of themes and plugins that you can add to it. If you are going with a "build my own website" type platform i had a quick play with square space and it is actually pretty good.
