What’s the Difference Between a CMS and a Website Builder?
A website builder is an all-in-one platform designed for simplicity. You choose a template, drag and drop content, and you're live. A CMS (Content Management System) like Joomla offers far more flexibility, scalability, and control — but it requires a bit more expertise to set up.
Pros of a Website Builder
- Quick setup with minimal technical knowledge
- Includes hosting, support, and templates
- Ideal for personal sites, portfolios, or simple small business pages
Pros of a CMS
- Greater design and functional freedom
- Scalable for blogs, webshops, multilingual sites, and more
- Better for SEO, accessibility, and performance optimization
- You own your content and hosting
Which One Should You Choose?
If you need a quick landing page, don’t plan to scale, and want everything included — a website builder may be enough. But if you value control, want custom features, or need a robust and future-proof solution — a CMS is the better choice.
