You don’t need to be a programmer to build a website. Coding a site from scratch takes time, which you might not have to spare if you’re running a small business or trying to get a website off the ground. There are plenty of “website builders” out there offering ways for anybody to craft their website. Here are some of the best.
Wix: Free and Simple
Wix is a popular site builder, sporting a simple interface, great templates, and smooth websites. They have a free version with limited storage space and bandwidth, and you can unlock more with their “Unlimited” plan for $14 per month.
The free plan does come at a cost—Wix will brand your site’s footer with a “Made by Wix” advert and give you a Wix domain like “yourdomain.wix.com.” You also can’t use it (or the “Unlimited” plan) for an online store unless you also pay for their e-commerce plan, which starts at $20 a month.
Weebly: Built for E-Commerce
Weebly’s free plan has many of the same features as Wix, but their paid plans are cheaper and offer a few different features. With their $8 per month “Starter” plan, you’ll get a free domain, a $100 Google Ads voucher to advertise for your website, and some basic e-commerce features.
However, everything except the $25 “Business” plan will charge a 3% fee for items sold on the site, redirect to Weebly to handle checkout, and limit the number of products you can sell. If you’re running a business off of your site, you’ll want this plan.
