Weebly

Description: Weebly is an easy to use but not very flexible website builder. What do I mean by flexible? For me, a flexible website builder is an application that lets you create a unique website design. It can be accomplished by offering fully editable templates. Weebly’s template editor is user-friendly but doesn’t allow us to edit any design element we want. But if you don’t need a super unique website, Weebly can be a great choice for you. It’s templates are modern and pretty, and an editor is really easy to use.And there is one more very helpful feature: the Site Planner, a simple step by step guide which “will help you think through your site and give you ideas and inspiration for how to use Weebly to bring your vision to live. It’s full of tips, examples and step-by-step video tutorials that will guide you through the process of creating a high-quality site that achieves your goals.”

Jimdo

Jimdo logo Visit Wix website

 

Description: I think Jimdo is the first website builder I’ve ever used. It seemed to me as a great app to build a website, but now I am of a bit different opinion. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad application, it’s just a bit poorer than others website builders, especially when we talk about templates. Yes, templates in Jimdo are something I’m not fond of. But still, there are examples of websites made in Jimdo that look good, so…

As I always say, the editor itself is so easy-to-use that it couldn’t be easier. Not many options, but to make a simple website it’s enough.

Webs

Definition: Webs is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use website builder. It can be a really good choice for those of you who need a nice (pretty templates!), simple website and an intuitive editor. For me it has one disadvantage: Webs’ templates are not fully customizable. That’s the reason why you can’t make a fully unique website with Webs.

Oh, and there’s one more thing: an editor had some problems with proper work. It was quite annoying, but when I logged in again after two or three days, all the problems were gone. Everything seems to work fine now.
