"Stop using the free tool to build any website and use these paid alternatives that I'm sponsored by instead" 🤣

[@CharlieKeiser]

@@GramMedia LOL legit

[@bebet9046]

Hahaha 😁 exactly 💯 🤔So he is Preaching us WordPress is hard to learn and yet you come up with Solutions which are confusing as plan B alternatives 🙃Naaa rather stay with WordPress ✨

[@rubengarciajr]

Wordpress is extremely easy to understand. I can’t believe he said it’s hard to understand 😮

[@Bondiblu2]

Yeah, I found it pretty easy too.

[@getchipbot]

WordPress is the largest platform in the world too

[@playtime4714]

i just cannot believe anyone would think wordpress is hard

[@rubengarciajr]

@@playtime4714 when you realize he is using affiliate links it all makes sense lol

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

Psst. Most GUYS don't read instructions, lol. But he actually wants people to believe that WIX is easy to figure out? That thing is a mess.

[@bogomildimov6360]

The hell I'm gonna just STOP USING WORDPRESS because some random guy told me so...

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

Especially since he doesn't know the difference between a SCRIPT/CMS and a HOSTING PLATFORM. For someone that claims to know so much about web development, you'd think he would know the difference.

[@projectmayhem2570]

did u watch How To Build A Website with Wordpress in 2023 (Full Tutorial) lol hahaha

[@projectmayhem2570]

hmm who made it

[@MichaelMarosi]

Also, he said like you only need to type /wp-admin to any wordpress website to access the login screen. Only noobs do not rename the login URL.

[@nested9301]

stop using us for clickbaits in 2023

[@flflflflflfl]

Why is everyone comparing a CMS to SaaS? Two very different things imho.

[@banwa_non]

a CMS is a SAAS, it's a web application, it just so happens that Wordpress is open source so you can use it for free, not all CMSs are free or open source.

[@flflflflflfl]

@@banwa_non nah bro, an open source CMS, by itself, is not SaaS

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

And a HOSTING platform.

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

No it's not. SaaS literally stands for SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE aka PAID FOR. CMS like Wordpress are FREE AND OPEN SOURCE. You're mixing up the terms because you don't understand the difference, just like this guy.@@banwa_non

[@jjjames4484]

Not one valid criticsm. This feels like a paid add. Also weird you have like 1.11M subscribers and only 16K views?

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

It IS an ad. The guy like shitx, I mean WIX, so he has a sponsorship by them.

[@bcglinux]

You, my friend, have earned another subscriber. I must admit that I thought the title was nothing more than click-bate, and yet I clicked it. And I am happy to say to your assessment was very fair and balanced and you made a lot a really good points. Not to mention, you have encouraged me to give some page builders of long ago another look and introduced me to some others I have never heard of. Thanks, and God bless,

[@nickturnal__]

Only a quarter into the video and i love the upfront honesty. My goal is to make a simple store to put affiliate links and sell a few products... not to be a pro website builder... so thank you for this

[@themclloyd]

first youve earned a subscriber, OK nothing personal here. You must understand that this video might be useful, especially for those who can spend a lot without worries or have clients that pay enough. However, for those of us who are learning, this will not completely satisfy our needs. Of course, speed and security can be problematic with WordPress, but plugins are making it easier to add premium functionality that is available in other builders. Remember, most people who use WordPress are non-developers most of the time.

[@Housestationlive]

i like my wordpress's website. i'm just thinking about a better way to make seo-friendly content, cause socials have zero discoverability. i'm tired to be hidden.

[@Wong20239]

I use wix in Hong Kong but it’s super slow

[@Hozagen]

Also Wordpress changes so much that everything you learn today might be useless in a couple of years.

[@DebashishKumar123]

Thank you. Reaffirmed my faith in Hostinger. Question: are non WordPress websites not good for SEO? Like will they have to be more optimized than WordPress website to rank on Google? Basically, does Google have preference for WordPress websites?

[@KGATTTU]

It seems so, if you have install good seo plugin, it's help with the indexing.

[@JeramieSaito]

Actually my hosting provider is Hostinger and now I am interested in building my website with them coz I am tired of Wordpress. How do I go about it?

[@iammobenal]

Wordpress doesn't have an affiliation program...that's why...but believe me you can't beat WP

[@MorganneLeighPhotos]

Great video I have a freelancer building me a photography website to sell my photos on Square Space. I have 100 photos on the website in nine categories. I’m not happy that the photos move in and out. I want them to be stable since you have a photography website on Square Space are you able to keep your photos stable because my freelancer said that Square Space set it like that or Printique set it like that and I don’t like them moving out I have a vertical photo in half, it doesn’t look good thank you for your help

[@olgaycelik2631]

How much did wix pay for this video???

[@wotiluv]

Exactly

[@alphateam4497]

Says wordpress plugins are headache and have security issues then mentions wix has apps developed by third party. lol

[@promagnuman]

I want to build a link only web site. What is the best platform to build it on? I want to be able to up date it daily myself. I will gladly pay for help.

[@Tunjuk]

WordPress but using your own hosting, don't listen that guy, WordPress with your own hosting will make a lot cheaper and powerful compare to any other platform Either way just use Google site, less learn, fast web, and free except you want add domain

[@aoncars]

I have taught 65 years old how to edit their website in WordPress. So it definitely is easy.

[@Book-Gnome]

Need to be taught is the key word. He's not saying it can't be done, he's saying it's not worth the learning curve for most of us and I agree.

[@KENRBLXGAMING]

Idk Wordpress is Wordpress ngl. It is right for bloggers and has high customisation. It’s worth learning and building in it.

[@CharlieChang]

Yeah I agree the customization is key. Lots of beginners though are going to get overwhelmed with Wordpress and stop taking action so I think website builders can be right for many people

[@Housestationlive]

thre are many alternatives but most of them sucks, as there are alternatives to KZbin who don't provided 1% of the features and visibility.

[@ShermanCassidy]

I find WIx clunky and slow. I find the interface very cumbersome and difficult to use.

[@SquareWebsites]

Wordpress is a not the best for most people. But its still dominant for lower budget websites.

[@globalasiaforum3847]

What alternative Web builder is recommended for service - travel & Property ? can be update and change very time

[@giantslayerclub]

You could be doing WordPress better! Everything can be automated, including updates and security. Also, if you build a website on any platform other than an open source content management system like WordPress or a VPN server, you become a slave to that hosting company and can never migrate your website, you’ll be limited in what your site can do, and you’ll be locked into literally every decision that company makes. Hmmmm, I wonder if Chang will block me today??? Be blessed bro, just giving my opinion since I've used Wordpress for over a decade.

[@lisalindeman8592]

I've been creating websites using WordPress since it was invented. I can see why it's frustrating for someone stepping into it for the first time, but modern page builders are restrictive and expensive. WP is a perfect balance between back-end flexibility (power and choice for the developer) and accessible content creation (ease of use for the author). Every time I use a page builder, I feel like a big company sat me down with a Denny's menu and a box of crayons.

[@q2l867]

Hey there, I was thinking of starting a Web design agency where I use WordPress themes to create websites for small businesses and just swap the content, however I am hearing that is not that easy to learn and do. Should I really consider the other website builders for my business

[@willrevillame3288]

Yeah it's expensive if you know how to use Wordpress, but a business owner would still have to hire someone else to do the Wordpress job for them so it's just as expensive. It's basically choosing between a website builder that a business owner can easily understand with no coding knowledge V.S. hiring a web developer to manage the Wordpress for them.

[@maltefriedrichspricht6085]

Boom! Clear, convincing, neutral, quick and understandable summary, thanks alot!

[@wotiluv]

Not.

[@Loicmartins]

Thanks for the sharing!

[@vadoraid2517]

Hey Charlie, I’m paralyzed but I have slight use of my right arm. I’m tired of relying on people & I fortunately retained my. Artistic ability & I’d like to selll my art as downloads. The government gives me social security so I’m limited on funds but $3 a month is doable. Because I do all of my art on my iPad. Can you suggest what would suit me best. I’m old (40sh’, since my brain injury & being handicap, I lost track of time. I’m an artist trapped in an un pop-able bubble. But I’m pretty savvy on an iPad hopefully I can do this

[@JasonBunnell]

None of your alternatives would fit my criteria which is primarily a non-proprietary, free open source alternative.

[@jeffcox7676]

If you have issues with WordPress it’s not WordPress it’s the user.

How quaint.

How TRUE. @@SunderedSeraph

[@thetruthwillnevergovoided4344]

Wordpress is very expensive though.

[@ThermalWorld_]

Yeah of course.. Then I see professionals crying because a 13 year old hacked their WordPress website 😆

[@GeorgeMihaly]

Great rundown, thank you! Who edits your videos? Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll be building a square space site soon based on your rec. Thanks again -George

BRUH, I literally just finished watching "You NEED a Website Now!! How to Create a Website for Free" and began setting up wordpress... 😩

[@rannyranny64]

What's the best for an NGO for Kids website?

[@iplayTV-Lovelife]

wix is very slow...

[@tarrennasophia6686]

I use Webflow and I'm a non-coder as well. Took some time to learn that's for sure... lol but no regrets!

[@DarkBow_]

Come on... Wix, honestly?

[@virtualwhispers]

Everyone's opinion is not like yours!

[@DarkBow_]

@@virtualwhispers it's for your usage too because wix is bad for referencing websites and you can't get data out of it at all if you put some in this system.

[@lazerfreeze7023]

What would you recommend if I want to run Google ads and Google Analytics on website? Can you use other website builders other than Wordpress and still be able to collect metrics?

[@camerinj]

I've had to watch quite a few tutorials just to do basic things in WordPress ex embedding files, changing site header, clearing cache bc updates arent showing live....things that would have been done in 5 minutes in wix no tutorial needed. It just feels a smidgen cumbersome and I'm still trying to get the hang of it to create a basic site 😭 😅

[@HittingWithB]

Nice Hostinger ad

[@MadManstranded]

Does anyone know why my Wordpress/jetpack wont let me choose free plan?

[@thinkpassiv]

Great review!

[@EntrepreneurLab]

Duda fire too

[@markjszymanski]

I'm all for having a preference and sharing that with your audience. However, the Security chapter of this video was one of the most misinformative and disingenuous bits of content I've ever watched. If you're going to criticize something, maybe try to be a little more fair in the analysis.

[@playtime4714]

wordpress is simply the Goat you can do whatever you want

[@allthingstech666]

In the age of the AI wordpress really isn't that complicated

[@contactkelvinsim]

If wordpress is difficult.. you have no business building websites for clients.

[@AlexadreSalmi]

@CharlieChang Bro... I sell wordpress websites for clients, all types of it, and it is kiiiiiling me. It works so bad and it is so hard to design responsive websites cause things never look the way it shows in the editor. What would you recommend for my small business? I need something that allows me to build an online store as well as subscription e-learning page. What can I use? Thank you so much if you can answer this!!!

[@winkzyy]

hey have y figured this out ?

[@foodwithmichel]

But i like wordpress

[@milenmarinov7292]

How is the easies platform hard to learn?

[@JPR22]

The hostinger web builder uses wordpress? even the snippet you showed on hostinger is all the wordpress free themes...

[@visualmodo]

Excellent work!!!

[@charlesajiboye4421]

what can you say about framer. Do you recommend it?

[@VespasianoNevio]

i just dont like wordpress it was so slow ! buggy not easy interface..

[@visualmodo]

Truly good content :)

[@lazerfreeze7023]

Anyone have a recommendation that a Digital Marketer would use? I heard of Wordpress and have seen issue of it going slow but you’re able to link Google Analytics and Google Ads with it. Can I do the same on Wix and other platforms?

[@apartmentinvestingforbeginners]

Love these alternatives. Wordpress has just been my goto for a while

[@worldpeace1822]

I tried to understand Wordpress initially but I felt like this is just unpractical and looked into Django and wagtail instead …. For me at least this was easier to go with 😅

[@javidshahmuradov5737]

Disagree, WordPress is still Better and suggests lots of opportunities. Alternatives are only might be better just for making blog website. Anyway Thanks for video

[@Usman._]

It’s only you who doesn’t know how to use Wordpress and modify it.

[@BeatsWithKev]

Lmao I finally finished building out the initial version of my WP site after moving from Squarespace thanks to your old videos, and now you make this vid haha

[@CharlieChang]

Haha if you're trying to make a really customized website w/ tons of functionality you made the right move! This video is targeted more towards beginners and people who don't want to learn WP plugins, themes, elementor, etc

[@monicalovelace1388]

I’ve never made my own webpage before so it’s helpful to find out what can be over complicated!!! Thank you, I appreciate that simple and easy to work with advice, than the many overwhelming options that are given for my first go around!!!

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

Stop listening to someone that doesn't know the difference between a CMS (Wp) and a HOSTING PLATFORM(Hostinger).

[@basenvy]

Charlie is like "Don't use the most used, reliable, industry standard for non-enterprise web CMS, Wordpress. Use the garbage I get paid to promote and waste a ton of time and money"

[@romankovbasniuk1826]

What is your opinion of Framer?

[@stephb7702]

1,000% disagree with everything you said...

[@wotiluv]

Cuz he goes t know what he’s talking about

[@bebet9046]

Huh 🤔So you're Preaching us WordPress is hard to learn and yet you come up with Solutions which are confusing as plan B alternatives 🙃Naaa rather stay with WordPress ✨

[@icedragontraining]

So I bought the hostinger plan using your code. I'm looking to create websites with payment processors, subscriptions and email lists. Do you reccomend wordpress or hostinger?

[@Morrocanprincess]

Hostinger is just where you host your site. Wordpress is the builder. I moved from Bluehost to Hostinger and I like it.

[@jamesrecknor6752]

EXCELLENT

[@jaygreentree4394]

Craft CMS is better than all of these.

[@francestan70]

Hi Charlie, I already started and finished design with WordPress and yes it is not user friendly and waste of time very annoying, can I transfer everything I created from WP to Hostinger, I’m afraid I might have to start over again. Thanks

[@CharlieChang]

Do you mean transfer stuff from WP to the Hostinger website builder? If so, that is tough but it's pretty easy to re-build a website using their builder. Or you can continue learning wordpress! It does take time but it's an important skill

[@francestan70]

Thank you, we love your channel, well done as always. @@CharlieChang

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

It IS user-friendly, if you READ THE DOCUMENTATION. Wix definitely NOT user-friendly, and Hostinger isn't even a web builder, they're a host.

[@enchantedwebmaster9163]

No it's not, their builder is much like Wix, it's crap and not user-friendly.@@CharlieChang

[@Stinktierchen]

No matter what. It all looks the same and is boring as f. What happened to the WWW the past years is a huge devastation of creativity. If I think back to 2000-2010 you could see so much creativity back then. Now eveyrhting looks the same and is boring. Every site looks like the other. Technical sites have become much better of course. But they have to be functional, everything else is just copy & paste, looks the same, feels the same .. is literally the same. Creativity has died on the WWW.
