Top 5 building tools for making your own website

We don’t need web developers or coding skills for building a website anymore. There are a plethora of online tools and services that can help you build your own customized website without having to get familiar with a single line of code in any programming language. So, whether you’re a business owner, blogger, writer, or simply a consultant, these builders can help you create your own website with much ease.

Weebly
If you’re new to blogging, then this website builder is the ideal choice. Weebly is great for beginners as it is known for its ease of use. There are at least 50 million websites created thus far using Weebly. Its webpage editor is one of the easiest to use, and with low learning curves, you can still end up with a great-looking site. While Weebly may be easy to use, it is limited in terms of add-ons and design flexibility. It also does not have many options for mobile site customization like other builders. One of the best features about Weebly is its free plan option albeit with ads. If you wish to create an e-commerce website, Weebly’s offers an ad-free website design plan with analytic facilities at around $12 a month.

GoDaddy
This website builder is known for its custom domain names and web-hosting services. But it offers the same template designs as those of other website builders. To help create your own feature-rich website using GoDaddy at no cost, then $0 plan includes email and social media marketing, PayPal payments, and SSL certificates. GoDaddy offers SEO tools for around $15 a month, and an e-commerce plan for an extra cost of around $10 a month. However, domain prices are not included.

WordPress
WordPress is one of the earliest online website-building platforms that was primarily geared towards writers and bloggers. Although WordPress is fairly limited compared to other services, it is fairly easy to set up and use. It is also noteworthy that WordPress allows you to create your website using intuitive drag-and-drop options like Weebly and Wix. While you can use it for free, its pricing is fairly cheap at $4/month without WordPress ads and 6GB of storage. You can build your own e-commerce website using its $8/month with 13GB storage, and with $25/month you can use custom WordPress themes options, and add-ons.

BigCommerce
If you have medium-to large-scale business online, then BigCommerce is for you. But its UI is not as easy as that of other website builders as getting used to building a site using BigCommerce may take a while. This website builder’s price tiers are costlier than its counterparts, but their features are worth the pricing. For instance, their Standard plan offers unlimited users, storage, bandwidth, and products, and no added transaction fees at around $29 a month. It also allows you to link your online business with other e-commerce websites.

Wix
Wix is by far the most popular website builder in this list. It has one of the largest website-building tools and is known for its flexibility for customization. Wix ADI, i.e., artificial design intelligence, covers the full ease-of-use spectrum that requires minimal effort at your end. It allows you to choose from specific templates that helps maintain consistency. And that’s not all, if you’re a skilled web developer then Velo by Wix is an open-development platform that has advanced applications like Javascript, Databases, and data-driven dynamic pages. While you use free basic website builder plan, the ad-free version costs around $14 a month and the e-commerce capability costs around $50 a month.
