Choosing the wrong website platform wastes months and money. Most people pick a builder, struggle halfway through, realize it doesn’t fit their needs, and start over. This training eliminates that frustration by teaching 15 platforms comprehensively, showing exactly when each excels.
You’ll build actual websites on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Zoho Sites, Site123, Duda, BigCommerce, Strikingly, Pagecloud, Jimdo, Tilda, and Simvoly. Not surface-level overviews but detailed platform navigation showing how to use specific features building real business sites.
Platform Comparison Through Practice
Each platform gets dedicated sections with step-by-step implementations. WordPress covers theme installation, plugins, menus, and store setup. Shopify walks through complete e-commerce: products, payments, shipping, domain connection, and live chat integration. Wix explores its drag-and-drop editor, apps, marketing tools, and AI agents.
Squarespace training includes their Blueprint AI, site styles, portfolio creation, and client management for freelancers. Weebly focuses on business sites with theme customization and app integration. Every platform receives thorough treatment showing navigation, features, and practical application.
E-commerce Across Multiple Systems
Building online stores differs dramatically across platforms. BigCommerce handles products, orders, and analytics differently than Shopify. Simvoly approaches sales funnels uniquely compared to standard stores. You’ll understand these differences through hands-on building, learning which platform suits specific e-commerce needs.
Career Applications and Client Work
The Squarespace section specifically addresses freelancing: getting first clients, standing out on freelancing sites, setting up client accounts, receiving content, and transferring ownership. These practical business skills apply across all platforms, teaching website creation as an income source.
You’ll learn domain registration, SSL certificates, custom business emails, analytics setup, and SEO fundamentals working across platforms. Understanding hosting, domains, and technical setup once applies everywhere, making platform switching straightforward.
Responsive Design and Modern Features
Every site must work flawlessly on phones, tablets, and desktops. The training emphasizes responsive design principles, mobile optimization, and testing across devices. You’ll integrate contact forms, chat widgets, booking tools, social media connections, and blogs keeping content fresh.
Tilda’s block editor teaches visual storytelling. Pagecloud’s precision editor offers design-level control. Duda covers white-label client projects for agencies. Each platform’s unique strengths get highlighted through practical implementation.
Broad Understanding Over Narrow Expertise
Rather than mastering one platform blindly, you’ll understand what makes WordPress powerful for customization, why Shopify dominates e-commerce, when Wix’s ease justifies its limitations, and how Zoho Sites connects with CRM and marketing tools. This comparative knowledge helps you recommend appropriate solutions for different projects.
The 300 lectures provide enough depth on each platform to build professional sites immediately while maintaining broad perspective showing when to choose each option.
Digital School’s teaching focuses on practical implementation. You’re not watching theory; you’re following along building actual sites, navigating real dashboards, and solving problems that arise during website creation.
