Thanks for such detailed post. My opinion that the future belongs to website builders – it’s true. It’s a questions of time and almost all non-commercial websites will move from WP, Joomla and other CMS to such online creators. In this case, it’s important that options of the best web builders are pretty wide even at the moment. And what will happen in a few years? Simplicity and low cost of websites based on online builders – will make website builders a leader in website development for small business and non-commercial projects.

Has anyone mentioned Serif WebPlus Starter? It is a free program and very powerful especially for being free. For more advanced features you can upgrade at any time to their latest release. At the time of writing this their latest version is Serif Webplus X6. I built my website on it and just wouldn’t recommend anything else.

Weebly is another great free website builder, and with this referral code you will start off with $10 towards getting more features, although the basic features are great for a free website!

Yola has just changed their free site to a limit of three pages, which makes them totally impractical. I would have rated them 10 (strong customer support) but this limit makes their service almost useless for free users.

I myself is a blogger for more then 5 years now and I am very excited to say that there are a lot of free websites available now a days that we could utilize. This list of website builders is quite good and informative.
Thanks for this one buddy, I might sort these out and choose another site to start on with my new blog.

I created a very complex website using wix (free)
Wix is simply the greatest website maker there is.
1. Not many ads (unless you “ad”(get it) them)
2. unlimited pages
3. good flexibility, uniqueness, range
4. Plenty of storage and bandwith
5. You can get more storage simply by adding a free master page!!!
6. Free Unlimited Backgrounds, complex color options, buttons html, and more to make your site cute.
GTG! My sister wants to play MovieStarPlanet. Check out my site and make your own on wix. See ya!!!

Thank for the post. I think the future is web builders. Website templates aren’t so popular and themes are usually used by webmasters which are familar with HTML and web desing. That’s why every year there are a lot of people think about website builders. I think it’s the same great invention in IT industry as Henry Ford’s conveyor in car world.

Weebly is great but i think they offer too small storage for free account but Wix offered 500 gb that i am really convinced
too also webs.com is great but just like weebly it is offering small storage

500 gb?
i think someone’s mixed up gigabytes with megabytes!
if your talking about bandwidth, the most you’ll get is a hundred and the most web storage you’ll get is 10 gigabytes but those websites take 5 days to be active and you have to code them yourself,

beware the web you weave
i’ve been checking out free website builders. there are several good ones so far. i have a site on weebly which ive found to be very good. all but one deleted my website when i finished evaluating, but i could not delete my Webs.com website. The Delete link didn’t work and they have failed to respond to repeated emails to delete the site. i chose to delete their website because it was difficult to use their program and support was lacking at the free level. i suggest avoiding Webs.com.

Why aren’t listed the best? People got their own standards so what I mean by best is that the most used by most of the people. Where’s wordpress and weebly? wix is good but its pretty much more complicated than weebly, these listed websites aren’t that so good for creating a professional like website unlike weebly everything is easy , I already tried most of these but none of them is good if you ask me

I think they are, I enjoy using jux though because it looks cooler than any of those sites mentioned. You should try it.
I am actually looking for free services for to make an ecommerce site but I haven’t got any yet that can blow my mind. For shopping cart support, I guess izzonet is the best.

I think we should also mention http://www.ucoz.com, which offers FTP, unlimited traffic & space, domain attachment and so on. Mentioned those as, the majority of the website builders I used didn’t offered those features in the free plans. I find it easy to use and would put it somewhere between a Website Builder and an advanced CMS. As a web-developer I highly recommend it!

I came across this page looking for FREE website building sites, as I dare say most, if not all others did that landed here. If I’d have wanted professionally built site and had the budget to go with it, I would have searched for ‘Website building company’ Your comments are a futile attempt to make professional website builders seen value for money, but they are not FREE are they??

Great line up of website builders. I think two other free website builders that deserve mentions here are Weebly.com and also Lifeyo.com. Lifeyo is relatively new to this market, but Weebly has been around for a number of years already. They now boast more than 11 million users, or about 10% of the internet’s websites are created through their platform.

Definitely also take a look at Breezi too (just launched!) – In a nutshell, Breezi is a website editor with ultra fine controls. You can easily create, style, and add content to get your website just the way you’d like, down to the pixel level. We made Breezi for creatives who are picky about design aesthetics, but don’t want to learn coding to see their ideas come to fruition.
You can sign up for a 30-day trial here (breezi.com), check it out and see what you think!

Using one of these sites would be the same as wanting to build a new house and you find someone that has a do-it-yourself kit and you buy the kit but by the time you get done putting it together all you have a is a garden shed. It provides a roof over your head but that is about it.
These sites serve a purpose if you are looking to build a “shed” type of website. But if you are wanting an actual website for your company or business then you need to turn to a professional web designer.
And NO, not all professionals are going to charge you an arm and a leg to design a site. Good professional web designers can work within your budget to meet your needs.

Well if we talk about blogs these sites are ok, but if about web sites in general – buy your own domain and use WP + theme you like

Many people don’t know what is domain name and WP as well. I mean ordinary people that aren’t related to web design and web development. And not all of them have opportunity to pay a lot of money to some web agency for a website with its own CMS, domain name and hosting. For such people, web builders are exactly that they need. And it’s not too expensive and everything is clear.
