What is a basic website?
A basic website, within the context of SMM platforms, is a simplified version of a more comprehensive pro website, offering a limited selection of features. It's designed for those who seek a more affordable entry point into the market or a supplementary platform linked to a more advanced pro website like Growerse.
Utilization of Basic Websites
Basic websites serve as a white-labeled solution for pro website owners to expand their service offerings. They can be sold to customers looking for an entry-level platform, making them ideal for newcomers to the reseller market or those with smaller operations.
Utilization of Pro Websites
Pro website owners can easily start selling basic websites by activating this feature in their settings. This allows their customers to order basic websites directly. Additionally, pro website admins can purchase basic websites on behalf of their customers, facilitating a personalized selling approach.
In summary, while basic websites offer a cost-effective solution with certain limitations, pro websites provide complete control and a full feature set essential for substantial business growth. The choice between the two depends on your business goals, budget, and desired level of control over the platform.
