Quick answer

A simple decision guide for speed vs flexibility.

  • Aim for progress, not perfection. Your first goal is a live page, even if it is simple.
  • You can refine design, content, and email setup after launch without downtime.
  • Most customers can get a basic site live in under an hour with the right checklist.

Key details

Sitejet is the fastest way to publish. It is drag-and-drop and perfect for simple business sites.

WordPress is more flexible and better for blogs, ecommerce, and custom features.

You can start with Sitejet today and switch to WordPress later if you want more control.

Helpful tips

  • If you want the fastest launch, choose Sitejet.
  • If you plan to blog or sell online, choose WordPress.

Quick checklist

  • Confirm your login details and security settings
  • Connect your domain or choose a new one
  • Pick Sitejet or WordPress and publish
