Before you can start your fashion blog, you need to decide which services you’re going to take advantage of. Blog services are all about the backend of your blog and keep them running smoothly. Choosing the right services can make or break your fashion blog. We’re taking a look at the different types of websites you can choose to use to create and maintain your blog. These websites host your blog, giving you a URL. They’re the spot on the internet that is dedicated solely to your website.
Here are the most popular blog services to choose from:
WordPress
WordPress is one of the most popular blog services online. It’s easy to use and highly customizable, making it ideal for a fashion blog. You can draft blog posts, manage comments and even incorporate custom coding. The WordPress dashboard is easy to navigate and allows you to control everything you need for your blog. Did you know that WordPress powers 40% of all websites – including many household names. If WordPress is too intimidating for you, hire a web designer from Fiver and get your website built for as little as $300! Also recommend this Mac Book laptop above for your blogging journey!
If you want a blog service that can grow with your fashion blog, then WordPress is the perfect choice for you.
Blogger
Blogger is the OG platform for fashion bloggers and is still used today. It is now owned by Google, which acts as the host for all blogger websites. You can use a free subdomain or attach a custom domain. The benefit of using blogger is that you can have up to 100 blogs or websites attached to one account.
Although blogger is ideal for newbie fashion influencers, it isn’t the most customisable. Most fashion bloggers who started on the platform have moved over to WordPress for more freedom with their designs.

Tumblr
One blog service that you might not think of is Tumblr. This microblogging website offers the potential for a unique aspect of fashion blogging. It’s popular with those who want to include multi-media posts on their blog. Tumblr’s follower function works similarly to Twitter and allows you to take advantage of hashtags to promote your content.
It’s worth remember that although Tumblr is highly customisable, your website will not be independently hosted. If Tumblr disappears tomorrow, your blog will as well. Although, you can add a custom domain to make it look as much like a traditional fashion blog as possible. It’s also one of the most budget-friendly options.

Squarespace
Squarespace is becoming an increasingly popular option for fashion blogger. The default themes that come with your membership include a wide variety of styles made specifically for fashion bloggers. Their set-up is ideal for showcasing both photography and written copy to incorporate storytelling into your content.
The beauty of Squarespace is its adaptability. You can add an e-commerce store or easily incorporate a newsletter or other plug-ins to your website. Just like WordPress, Squarespace is a blog service that can grow with you and your website. You get 24/7 support and access to domains and hosting all in one.
