Website Builders

A website builder will be a necessary resource once you have brainstormed, done your keyword research, and focused in on  what you will market.

There are free website builders and more fully featured paid versions. Some are internet based and others can be downloaded and used from your desktop.  Even if your budget can handle the paid versions, if this is new to you, using a free website builder for some practice might be a good option. Listed below is a free version of a website builder. There are others, but this is an easy to use program with a fair number of features. 

 

The Nvu website builder is free to download. It has tabbed functions so you can write your website using the wysiwyg function and it will be much like using a word processor. The tabbed function let's you switch so you can also use html if you choose. Once you have Nvu downloaded, there is a printable manual that can be accessed through the help menu. Nvu also has it's own forum which could prove very helpful. Go here to download Nvu.



Paid versions of website builders are, of course, more fully featured and allow you to build a website with more ease and often added features not available with the free website builders. If you are looking for a more fully featured paid website builder, consider and discover the features of the ones listed below.

 

Website Wizard is a website builder that offers three different plans, each having a different level of features. The starter plan features hosting, 100mb of disk space, a 15 page limit, templates, visual site creator and some wizards. You can view all the features of the various plans at Website Wizard.

 

CityMax is another online website builder. It has just one plan that includes all their features and at a good value. It also has a 10 day free trial. Plenty of time to see if you like it before it costs you anything. The trial site is limited to 5 pages, but once you are a paying client you can have as many as 500. Other features include Hosting, 1200 templates, the ability to use either plain text, or use HTML if you want, email accounts, a newsletter feature, a great knowledge base, 33 chapters of online documentation, and wait until you see the eCommerce features.

 

Xsitepro is a terrific site builder that you can own. It's list of features goes on and on. Xsitepro can be used with html if you choose, but it is a WYSIWYG so it works much like a word processor. It's SEO feature helps you build with the search engines in mind, it creates navigation menus and sitemaps automatically, and updates them as you build or make changes, creates popups, redirect pages, and adds Google adsense with a couple of clicks. Xsitepro has design wizards that add bulleted lists, boxes and frames, links to other pages and much more.

 XsitePro has a great tutorial that will walk you through building a small site, all the way through the ftp phase. It has  a pdf tutorial, a manual, and several video tutorials. Plus it's own forum that is very responsive and helpful. And great support.




Xsitepro is the second website builder that I have purchased, and I wish it had been the first.  This is a very good website builder and I'm sure there is not a better or easier one to be had. Xsitepro also has a 365 day guarantee! Take a tour and see for yourself just how many great time saving features Xsitepro has.

If you plan to build a number of websites, Xsitepro really is the way to go. It has a multitude of features that allow you to build, and update your websites very easily. As you add to your websites the navigation menu automatically updates.This feature alone is a great time saver.
