# What is the difference between a SimDif website and social media?

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: Distinguishing the purpose and functionality of a SimDif website from social media platforms.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## The difference between SimDif and social media

SimDif is a website builder application made by The Simple Different Company, designed for creating websites to present a business or hobby to clients, readers, and search engines. SimDif is not a social network like Facebook or Twitter, and it does not provide functionality for readers to log in or post content directly to the site.

A website should be used as the central hub for a web presence and as a platform to display information from the owner's perspective.

Facebook pages can be used to collect feedback and posts from friends and clients.
