How to Build Your Own Website to Sell Fruits

Other notes

DedeCMS is a decent website building program, and many domestic websites use it. However, Naiba does not recommend it for beginners because, for novice users, DedeCMS completely lackswordpress the high customizability of WordPress. WordPress has a vast number of website templates, and none are hard-coded templates like the case study in this article. Additionally, WordPress allows you to design web pages yourself through page builder plugins without needing to know code. Furthermore, DedeCMS has relatively more vulnerabilities; if your website security is not well done, it is easily hacked.Related articles: Tutorial on How to Build a Personal Sales Website
