State Of Website Builders 2020

Hey everyone,

So I recently put together some data on the state of the website builders market for 2020. I thought it'd be interesting to share here. Some insights:

• Wix and Squarespace have 55% of the market
• Carrd and Webflow are growing (fast!)
• Shopify's app ecosystem is bigger than all their competitors combined

You can see it all + fancy graphs here: https://www.sitebuilderreport.com/state-of-website-builders

Would be curious to hear what you think!

    Great post.

    11% for Carrd and Webflow is crazy.

    1. 1

      Totally— blows my mind.

    Thanks for sharing that. I'm building Pageam.com and hope to be on your list in a couple of years later.

      Awesome— keep me posted! Though I might characterize your product as a landing page builder— which I don't cover anymore :(

      1. 1

        I see. Yeah, Pageam is a few years behind a general-purpose website builder.

      2. 1

        When does it become a website builder? :)

        1. 1

          When it creates general-purpose websites— not single-purpose websites.

          Squarespace is a website builder.

          Format is a portfolio website builder.
          Shopify is an ecommerce website builder.
          Unbounce is a landing page website builder.

          That's how I define it.

    Love your Site Builder Report. I recommend it to many of my friends.

    Could you recommend a website that we can build a review system? I couldn't find it in your website so I'm wondering if you've come across any website builder that can do that.

    Thank you.

    Really cool report. I too hope to get on that list. :) I'm building a completely free website builder, including custom domains and hosting. I was wondering, is there a way to get reviewed by you?

    (Just to make sure you don't dismiss it as a weekend project: it runs on a purpose built OS to reduce the operating costs.)

      To be honest there are too many website builders to cover— there's quite literally hundreds. Unfortunately I only cover the top 30 (as measured by websites powered).

      (I am @sitebuilderreport on Indie Hackers, this is just my personal Indie Hackers accnt.)

        Yeah that totally makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
