Reason #1 : NO Flexibility, Ownership or Ability to Negotiate Price
With PIGO Multimedia you get priority customer support. And the website you paid for is owned by you.
The core platforms for services like Squarespace, Wix, Yelp, Weebly or Hibu are not very flexible – you’re stuck with their proprietary hosting and iron-handed pricing, which is strictly on their servers.
You will ultimately invest a lot of time and money for a website that you are leasing. You do NOT own your website, they do.
As sample proof here is Squarespace’s fine print on their pricing page makes it clear.
And if you do not like their service or pricing, you will have to leave your website behind and start all over again. Wasting time and money.
Reason #2 : You Cannot Easily Edit Content on Your Site
With PIGO Multimedia, our websites have a CMS ( Content ... Read More

Google To Give Secure Sites A Ranking Boost
Google has announced that going HTTPS — adding a SSL 2048-bit key certificate on your site — will give you a minor ranking boost.
Google says this gives websites a small ranking benefit, only counting as a “very lightweight signal” within the overall ranking algorithm. In fact, Google said this carries “less weight than other signals such as high-quality content.” Based on their tests, Google says it has an impact on “fewer than 1% of global queries” but said they “may decide to strengthen” the signal because they want to “encourage all website owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS to keep everyone safe on the web.”
Google also said based on their tests for the past few months, the HTTPS signal showed “positive results” in terms of relevancy and ranking in Google’s search results.
