PHP is a server side processor that has been in use on the Internet for several decades. It requires near constant updates for security reasons. CMS Amigo, unlike so many online web builders does not employ PHP in its backend. So the need for constant attention to security is off the table.
Most Website builders require many hours worth of learning depending on the technology and complexity of the project. The learning curve for web development is more like a spiral, where you revisit and deepen your understanding of concepts as you progress. CMS Amigo was built for simplicity and for the small business owner who wants a functional but attractive website. You won't spend hours and days reading and researching. That's why our motto is "Life is Easy".
Most Website builders insert hundreds, even thousands, lines of code into your webpage. This causes slow Google performance times and failures in most other indicators. Furthermore SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is difficult and usually involves purchasing specific plugins and either, a large investment of your time, or hiring an SEO expert.

In most cases it can be done but it's a challenge. With CMS Amigo templates (or any complimentary webpage on your system) your pages are stored directly on your local machine for easy access to do anything you want with them.
