What is the best free website builder?

JoshyBoy_2

Looking to try out designing my own website. I'd like to get a good feel of my idea before committing to paying for anything, long term.

What's the best free website builder?

Any good designers that offer a free trial period?

Any advice is welcome and appreciated.

What are you trying to acheive?

Selling stuff, just a hobby club web site, new type one, art, photos, what?

As above, it depends what you will be using it for.

If its just a bit of fun or small social group then it probably doesn't really matter. Look at something like Wix for example.

If it is for anything more serious, particularly some kind of ecommerce store, then stay away from the free sites. If you have a technical background you could look at Opencart. If you need something that is easier to start with from the off, then look at something like BigCommerce or Shopify.

Wordpress is a CMS and NOT a website builder

Site.pro is one of the best on the market these days, you get a selection of free templates, most hosts will offer some sort of site builder to clients

Another vote for wordpress. Plenty of free templates for every possible type of website. Easy to switch between them without having to re-enter all your info.

There are many websites "built" with WordPress. It's a powerful system, relatively easy to learn and could well meet the OP's needs.
