Hello,

I’m looking at starting a website and social media marketing business.

Firstly, my area is quite deprived and a LOT of the businesses simply have little to nothing in terms of websites/ social media presence. Also I only note two other good website designers in my area.

My business will plan on targeting those companies by offering them the opportunity to bolster their income through utilizing online tools.

Important: I understand the difference between them both. I can do Wix and have done for a few companies already. I also could use WordPress (admittedly I’d have to learn it a little better but I could start using it no problem).

I plan to offer options such as:

1.Website design (1 off)

2.Website design and monthly maintenance (1 off followed by monthly payments)

3.Social media marketing campaign (1 off)

4.Social media campaign and management (1 off followed by monthly payments)

My question:

If I use Wix it allows me to show this to the consumer and to allow them to do some minimal maintenance themselves. Which I do quite like the idea of as it’ll allow me to move on to new projects and not just be stuck on constant maintenance that WordPress may present.

If I use WordPress I’ve got a bit of learning to do. I also expect to be doing more maintenance (which I guess is good for business).

Anyway, what are everyone’s thoughts?
