Website Platform Comparison

How to use this tool

1. Answer the five questions about your site type, editing needs, budget, SEO priority and required features.
2. Get a best-fit recommendation with a match percentage, plus a ranked score for all five platforms so you can see how close the runners-up are.
3. Scan the full capability table and directional cost ranges. Prefer to see the raw comparison first? Use "Show full comparison anyway" any time.

How the recommendation works

Every platform starts with the same base capability scores across nine categories — ease of use, design, SEO, ecommerce, performance, scalability, ongoing cost, customisation and build-budget fit. Your answers don't change those scores; they change how much each category counts for you. Tell us ecommerce is essential and the ecommerce score starts pulling far more weight in the result.

We then score each platform against your weighted priorities and show the match as a percentage. The comparison table always shows the raw, unweighted capability of each platform, so you can see the full picture — not just the version tuned to your answers. It's guidance to shortlist from, not a substitute for a proper scoping conversation.
