Q: How does Paradime 360 compare to Wix, Square Space and others?
A: We introduced Paradime 360 to directly compete from a design, performance and cost perspective.
With these other tools, you’re locked to their platform. It’s called vendor lock-in. If you decide to leave, you will lose your website and all the hard work you put into creating it.
With Paradime 360, we’ll create a copy that you can take with you for a nominal fee. We can even migrate it to WordPress.

Q: Is it fast? How’s the performance?
