I like the concept of easy to use site builders today. What is your seo experience with the ionos site builder ? Is it good for international seo or more for local seo ranking?
I did a video on SEO with a website builder a 8 years ago but it still gives an idea of SEO basics that can be accomplished with a website builder. czcams.com/video/kQRO5oMXFjE/video.html I don't really make any distinction between local SEO and international. The principles are mostly the same.
If you watch all my videos, you'll see that I don't claim there's any one BEST website builder but it depends on your needs. Check out my page here to help you decide which is right for you. webeminence.com/website-builders
You might already know this, but 1&1's web builder is powered by the Duda web builder platform. I ended up choosing Duda to build sites for local SMBs.
I didn't know that. I haven't looked at Duda since it was Duda Moble back in the day. It was good back then but I should probably do a video on Duda since it's very popular.
Even though I prefer more flexible drag and drop website builders, such as SimpleSite, Zyro, and Wix, I have to admit - 1&1 looks functional and fairly effortless
Yeah, I'm not sure why someone would choose it over some of the best builders out there. Often - it will be marketing - meaning they find 1&1 first through their marketing. Or it could be that they host or have domains with 1&1 and then try out their website builder. For their current customers, I think it's a serviceable option.
Hey man, Thanks for the cool review. How´s the customization exactly? I would need a nice gallery for photos of different sizes and a very blank background. Is it possible to delete a lot of the chosen templates, change sizes of elements and change colors of boarders? As 1&1 is already my main provider here in Germany I´m thinking of swappin from a Wordpress Hoster to 1&1. Cheers
Hey Markus, sorry - I realized I never replied to this. It sounds like you may want to start with a blank template. But they do give you the ability to remove elements from their template.
I was part of a team a few years ago that would build websites for 1&1 using this editor. Let me tell you, our service is not really worth it. Basically 1&1 keeps 2/3 of the money. The other 1/3 goes to our company to build them. We pay most money to the Account managers to handle everything smoothly, the freelancers to make text( although they are not well paid either) and the final pennys go to the indian dudes that we actually outsource the whole build to. This editor is not hard to use. If you look at some examples and inform yourself about basic SEO you can make one just as good.
Thanks for your input. You're describing a profitable business plan so I get why they do what they do. But I agree that it's probably not a good idea to pay them to build it for you. Website builders are designed to be easy to use so you can do it yourself.
Sounds like the machine working beautifully keeping the worker bees making honey. Thanks for your input. I need to look somewhere else for a design now.
I'm not sure if 1&1 gives you the tools do do a one page site with navigation. My recent video on one page sites may shed some light on the issue czcams.com/video/Cj1c0y2vOw0/video.html
Hello, thank for your review. Do you know if MyWebsite is good for google analytics, SEO, ads, etc The reason why I ask is because I have read wordpress is not so great it.
Where did you read WordPress is not good for SEO. WordPress is a standard in building websites and I believe nearly half the websites in the world run on WordPress. It is good for SEO and offers a lot more flexibility with SEO than most website builders including 1&1.
Ryan hows your 1&1 videos going... I have knocked out my site and sure I would like you to tell me do you prefer wix.com or 1&1? your expert advice for the user
I personally would prefer Wix. I think they offer a lot more and they are a website builder first. 1&1 is more a hosting company that added website builder later. Wix, Weebly, and Squarespace are the leaders in the industry in my opinion.
@@Webeminence Thank I new you'd come with the right answer- My hubby is dammed to 1&1 being the best. Good I will take your review.... Thanks......Wishing You a very prosperous New Year 2019...

I don't believe you're able to have user accounts with 1&1 and that's true of most website builders.

It's a real pain in the ass to use. Not intuitive at all
@@sne6969 How many projects have you used Duda on? What's your favorite platform instead?

Which one is best Wix or 1&1, bear in mind I have a domain with Wix a
lready. But I believe you can transfer a domain to 1&1 OR FREE?
I prefer Wix over 1&1 any day. Wix is a little different though in it's free-flow design where 1&1 is more of a grid and might be quicker to setup.
Could you show how to change the template
You'll have to check their tutorials and support docs.
I would like to create eshop website

Hi! I'm helping a friend with his website, but the home page is duplicated and repeated on the other pages. Does anyone know what is going on?
No idea. Check your Pages list.

Hey Ryan where can we get the image of the chair?
If it was in my video, it was probably just a stock image.
Ryan @ Web Eminence yeah it’s in this’ll video you say that you tweaked it a little. I just have no idea where to find such an Image?

Can you add audio on a 1&1website.. How do you do it?...
I believe there is an audio widget but I don't remember the exact details. You can ask them directly. I see in my video there is a SoundCloud widget.

This is all so new.. How can I ask them directly?.. please help me with the link...

They charge for everything and 80% is free on other host.
Great commentary, lame music 🙃
Thanks - Sorry you don't like the music. Can't please everyone!
Can you have a feature where clients can create an account via your own website ?
