As the title mentions above, I recently got done creating a pretty simple website for a client who intends to launch a product, more specifically beer, I have no control nor input about the process itself but I created a website to expedite the process for them of having the product meet more eyes and be exposed to the world.
Upon finishing the website some doubts arised as far as the method I used to create it, I know some CSS and HTML and a tiny bit of JavaScript, I'm familiar with the creation of very very basic websites through raw coding using VEs such as VSCode but for this specific website I just used one of the many services availables that are much more user friendly and easier to manage such as SquareSpace, Wix, WordPress etc...
The doubts that arised and concerns that I had, have to do mainly with the commandment of Control, I was wondering if the use of a third party service to create my customer's websites is a bad idea since I'm basically paying them a fee to manage my website and handing out some portion of the control of my product, regardless of the fact that I still have creative control over it. Am I better off just creating a website from scratch but with it all solely being managed by myself?
If it's prudent of me to ask I'd like to know what you think about it and what methods do you roll with in such circumstances, do you create your own, use third party softwares, etc... Thank you so much for reading.
