Creating a website with Carrot or NO Carrot

[Rauph Souleimanov]

Hello Everyone!

I currently have a website that I created with Carrot. 

It did ok the first couple of months but since then there have been no leads at all. 

I realize that my SEO optimization and stuff isn't great, so I really need to see what should be my next steps. 

I can optimize my Carrot website and pay someone to do it for like 500-700 of Upwork. But then I am still stuck with the monthly payment of $180 a month. 

Or I could suck it up and create a brand new website on WordPress for $1000 and then not have to pay more than $10 a month for the web hosting. 

The problem is that I am curious if having a carrot website really helps me?

If there is no difference between Carrot and WordPress when it comes to SEO and ranking on GOOGLE then it might make sense to go with WordPress for a long-term play. 

Has anyone thought about this before, and came to a decision?

Thank you!
