As the competition to establish a strong online presence is becoming more intense, businesses are looking for competent agencies that can deliver high-quality, full-fledged websites quickly. That's where using a site builder platform like Brizy Cloud can be worth its weight in gold. This platform simplifies website building and site management, giving agencies an advantage in meeting their client's demands efficiently and on the go.

This post is going to walk you through why Brizy Cloud is a game changer for agencies and provide you with some of its beneficial features you can use to complete, pitch, and sell a website to a client. We'll show you how you can take advantage of these key features to propel your business to succeed in today's competitive market.

Let's get started with the advantages of Brizy vs. WordPress content management system.

An overview: Brizy vs WordPress content management system (CMS)?

First, WordPress continues to hold its position as the leading CMS platform for building WordPress websites. Nevertheless, a notable drawback lies in its lack of comprehensive guidance for users during the initial stages of the website creation process, right after logging into the WordPress admin/dashboard. Many users often find themselves struggling with various critical aspects, such as:

Selecting and connecting to the most suitable hosting service tailored to their specific needs. A poorly chosen hosting plan could result in significant costs.
Navigating through the plethora of available WordPress themes and plugins to find the perfect fit for their website.
Installing their preferred WordPress themes and plugins, as it isn't immediately apparent to most newcomers.
Understanding how to start creating pages and posts/custom post types for your WordPress site.

WordPress CMS admin interface

To solve this issue, Brizy Cloud usually offers a step-by-step guide during the initial stages of site creation so that you can get started creating websites immediately. Once you're logged in, you'll be asked to give your site a name, connect to a host server (if you have one), register a domain name, and configure a few other basic settings to begin.

Simply put, Brizy is a site builder for agencies or businesses that want to churn out quick and high-quality websites for their clients in no time. It boasts a simple, straightforward user interface, and is focused on the user and their experience. All these qualities make Brizy easy to use right from the beginning until your client’s site is live on your hosting infrastructure.

Brizy also offers you some key opportunities to streamline website development and pitch to your clients. These include the opportunity to:

Select a Brizy template and then automatically provision that template to directly log the user and start modifying the content.
Set a homepage in WordPress automatically to page one in Brizy.
Install demo content included in Brizy templates. As an agency, you can use these demo contents to pitch your offer to your clients so that they can know what they’re buying.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the next section, we’ll go dive deeper into the Brizy Cloud platform; a cloud-based site builder created by Brizy.

Why is Brizy Cloud one of the best choices for agencies and web pros in 2023?

Brizy Cloud is a site builder platform that is hosted by Brizy. This platform helps you streamline the website creation process and deliver high-quality websites to your clients. It comes with a wide range of features (outside of WordPress) including a site builder to help you meet your client's expectations.

Plus, it offers unlimited storage and hosting space and enticing free publishing options. So, whether you're a freelancer, marketing agency, hosting company, web design agency, or SaaS business, Brizy Cloud has something valuable to offer to everyone.

But, what makes Brizy Cloud an excellent choice for agencies in 2023? For starters, unlike WordPress, Brizy Cloud is simple and easy to use on the go. Let’s have a look at some of the advantages that set it apart.

Advantages of Brizy Cloud for Agencies

Brizy is the best choice for hosting companies, web design agencies & resellers

Brizy’s Reseller program is the program you use to make professional websites and then resell them to your clients (that's how it got its name). This Brizy program is available in WordPress and Brizy Cloud's platform. It offers agencies a hassle-free alternative (instead of starting with WordPress) to begin creating websites immediately.

Joining the reseller program is akin to forming a partnership with Brizy. Simply send them an email via the Brizy website, and the onboarding process will commence. The Brizy team will work closely with you to set up everything from custom branding to API integrations, if applicable. This process will last 10 to 14 days.

Once onboarded, you gain access to a suite of tools for designing, customizing, and launching stunning websites quickly and easily, using the no-code WYSIWYG approach. Businesses (or individuals), hosting companies, and resellers will then be able to sell and even manage websites on behalf of their clients.

This reseller program comes with several other invaluable features:

A 100% white-label solution (more on this in the next section).
It is e-commerce-ready. This means you can install a WooCommerce plugin during the initial stages of site creation and build online stores for your clients.
Compatibility with leading hosting control panels such as cPanel (Brizy works well with WordPress), WHMCS, DirectAdmin, Plesk, and more. This will simplify website management tasks such as domains, email accounts, databases, and other hosting-related tasks.
Brizy has a plethora of widgets, rich media support, free icon libraries, marketing tools, social media tools, over 150 templates, 1-click publishing,
and many more.

Everyone involved stands to benefit significantly from adopting Brizy's Reseller Program into their workflow. Whether you are a web agency, a hosting company, or an individual entrepreneur, Brizy empowers you to create and manage outstanding websites with ease, giving your clients an exceptional online presence.

Brizy Cloud is a 100% white label platform

Brizy Cloud white label solutions allow agencies to brand the Brizy Cloud platform with their own logo and name. This way, they can offer and sell their web design services under their own name.

The reseller, for example, can set their own pricing and plans for their clients, and the site builder provider(in this case, Brizy Cloud) will usually handle the hosting, maintenance, and security of the websites(as you’ll see in later sections).

This advantage has several benefits for agencies including:
Improved client trust and agency credibility and reputation – white labeling instills trust in clients as they perceive the site builder as a proprietary tool developed by the agency, enhancing the agency's credibility.
Streamlined workflow and brand implementation – agencies can add their own name/logo, site URL, account links (e.g. for support and about pages), builder notifications, stripe payment processing pages, client projects, subdomains, etc., without any mention(branding) of the original platform.

Ease of starting new projects

Starting a new project in Brizy Cloud is incredibly simple. All you need to do is to log into your Brizy Cloud admin dashboard and click on Create New Project. If you don’t already have one, just sign in to Brizy Cloud. This should be straightforward and completely free. Once you’re in, the possibilities are endless – you can create an unlimited number of websites & landing pages, popups & alerts, web stories, and more as you desire.

Moreover, you can give your project a distinctive name and start working on it by clicking the Edit Project link. This will take you to the Brizy site builder, where you’ll have access to over 150 ready-made templates, layouts, blocks, and global blocks to jumpstart your pages, posts (post types and categories), stories, menus, popups, and alert creations.

With Brizy drag & drop elements, you can easily customize and style your blocks, templates, and predesigned layouts. Reordering block elements is a breeze, allowing you to make your page uniquely tailored to your preferences and needs. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned designer, Brizy Cloud provides an intuitive platform for you to bring your creative visions to life effortlessly.

Brizy Cloud enables you to create different types of projects and websites

Allows for team/client collaboration and easy client management

Brizy Cloud facilitates team and client collaboration and provides easy client management through the following features:

This can encourage clients to suggest changes and let you update them.
