If you're going to start from scratch you'd be better off building a WordPress site, lots of plugins & more highly favoured by Google etc

Will obviously be a lot easier to add content along the way as well !

There are also loads of tutorial videos on you tube to help !

Creighton, I would concur with what Steve has said above.

Most of these drag 'n' drop editors are great for beginners but tend to get a bit limited later.

I'm currently looking at a site for someone that was made with Wix. Although it looks nice, I am coming across some serious issues, especially with site loading speed.

If it was not for the domain name being held by them I would recommend scrapping the site and starting again with Wordpress. Sadly, that will involve so much messing about, it may be easier to keep the current one and build a second site from scratch instead.

You Could try Visual composer with wordpress. It has made things a lot easier for me.  :)

I have bought a number of domains from go daddy and i think i bought 5 years hosting from i pages as iwas advised to do by someone who was going to build my website for me but i was not happy with what they were doing, can these be used ?

my current website is ok but it is the third one i have payed for and as none of them have brought me much work i feel i have nothing to lose trying myself.

What do your Analytics and Webmaster tools tell you?

The reason I asked is because (hopefully) the statistics will tell you if you have either a ranking problem or a visitor / conversion problem or both.

It's best to know this before you start looking at building or ordering replacement sites.
