Best FREE Website Builders! [2019]

I've spent the last month testing free website builders and here's the truth: I don't think website builders are looking to give away something for free but— with a little research you can definitely make it work.

This video walks you through the 8 most popular website builders:

Wix has a great paid plan but the free plan is pretty limited. The free subdomain is long and unwieldy, the ad is pretty intrusive and they have an aggressive bandwidth limit.

Google Sites is intriguing— you can add a custom domain, which is great! The only other free website builder to allow this is Ucraft. Unfortunately Google Sites isn't really for small businesses. They only provide one template.

Jimdo includes a small ad that's easy to miss. They offer a pretty nice subdomain— but I wish they removed the "free" in it.

XPRS has no ads on their website— which is awesome! Unfortunately the free URL is quite long.

Strikingly is a great website builder. It's designed for building one page websites. It's free plan has a great subdomain and includes ecommerce (limited to 1 product). It also includes 5 GB of bandwidth.

Ucraft let's you connect a custom domain— which is great! It has a small ad that scrolls alongside your website and limits you to 1 page.

Weebly is my pick for the best website builder. It's a great website builder with a strong free plan: a good subdomain, ecommerce and they are the only free website builder to offer unlimited bandwidth. You'll want to make sure you can live with Weebly's ad on free pages.

I also cover a few tips on how to sidestep common limitations on free plans: how to add a redirected domain name, how to add Google Analytics and how to add ecommerce— even if the free website builder doesn't support these plans.

In terms of seo and simple settings which one you suggest?

[psingh]

you are great straightforward. What is good for a magazine website with high traffic with lots of uploads and dowloads and back issues. Can we make ourselves? or get designer make and import to hosting company

the video was really useful, thanks. I still have a question: I need a web to display my drawings in architecture school, so i was wondering which website builder would be more suitable for this purpose, taking into account the importance of the global aesthetic across the web. Its going to be some kind of digital gallery. Which one would you recommend? thanks a lot

[darlenetoliver-rollins]

I am truly appreciative. I'm starting a business, but at my age (72) my learning curve is, well it's not what it was when I was in college learning to program ; that was in 1972, ha. Any hu, thank you thank you thank you.

What about Tilda? Is Tilda any good? I plan to use Weebly, Tilda and Ecwid.

Do you have a video on how to do the domain tip?

[SaweetSavage]

Thank you so much for the amazing tips! You help so much for a person that wants to start a website with little to no cash! A recommendation for a future video would be to set up a online store step by step with Ucraft or Weebly! Thanks man you rock!
