I'm trying to create a website for the first time and see that you recommend WordPress, but also have a program called Premium Website Builder. Could you summarize the difference between these two briefly please?

The Premium Website Builder is made to be extremely basic and limits to specific templates. While it is made to get a website up quickly, it is very limited in design elements and functionality. Wordpress is a free open source software that is used worldwide and has as much or little functionality as you want to get from it. The premium website builder is made more for a very small site for beginners whereas Wordpress ranges from beginner to advanced depending on your knowledge and will scale with you over time.

Hello MagWitch,

Just a bit of additional information for you. Wordpress may have a bit more of a learning curve, but is much much more powerful and expandable. Some of the largest sites in the world use WordPress, over 60% of the top 1 million sites use it.

As for your Wordpress wp-admin issue, that happens when a folder is missing the index file. It should not happen with a standard WordPress install. I am happy to check into that for you, if you would not mind commenting back with the domain name, I could go ahead and do that.

Kindest Regards,
