Free Web Page Builder
From LoveToKnow Web-Design
If you need a very basic website, using a free web page builder tool might be a good option.
BlueVoda Website Builder
If you aren't already committed to a different hosting service, you may want to consider using the BlueVoda website tool. The application is free, but you'll need to have a BlueVoda web hosting account in order to publish the website you create with the program. As with Web Dwarf, the system is very easy to use. There is no need to know HTML, thanks to the drag and drop functionality.
BludVoda's features include:
- Ability to Create an Unlimited Number of Web Pages
- Image Library (Backgrounds, Headers, Logos, Templates, etc.)
- No Restrictions on the Number of Websites You Can Create
- No Spyware, Malware, or Adware
- "One Click" Publishing
Blockstar
With Blockstar, you can easily create a variety of different types of web pages. To use this application, you'll need to create an account with Blockstar, after which you'll be able to download and use the software to make your own website. HTML knowledge is not required, and you'll be able to create web pages, blogs and photo galleries in no time at all.
Blockstar's web page builder is free to use, and there is no charge for hosting your site as long as you don't need more than 1 gigabyte of bandwidth and 50 megabytes of storage space. You are also able to use your own domain name for you website with Blockstar.
It is important to note that if you opt for Blockstar's free web hosting package, advertisements will appear on your website. If you like Blockstar's web page builder and you don't want advertisements on your pages unless you put them there, you can sign up for a paid hosting plan. The rates are comparable to those offered by other web hosting providers, and you'll have access to a larger amount of bandwidth and storage space than with the free option.
Google Page Creator
If you aren't concerned about having an independent URL for your website, you may want to try the Google Page Creator tool. You can log in with your google account and begin creating your own website right away, even if you have no programming or technical skills.
There is no need for a hosting account if you use the Google Page Tool. It's important to note that the URL for your website will have a .googlepages.com extension if you use this free web page builder option. For example, if your site is about safe drinking water, the URL may end up being safedrinkingwater.googlepages.com. If you're creating a site for informational purposes, this is not likely to pose a problem. However, if you are planning to set up a revenue generating website, you should really use a free standing URL.
Web Dwarf
If you're planning to create a non-commercial website, you might want to consider using Web Dwarf. This free Visual Web Page Builder, from Virtual Mechanics, allows individuals with no knowledge of HTML to quickly and easily create their own websites.
Web Dwarf features include:
- Ability to create and edit graphics
- Drag and drop editing capability
- FTP publishing capability
- Spell check feature
- Templates
Once you author your website via this simple to use and intuitive tool, you can easily upload it to the web hosting service of your choice. Unlike many of the other free web authoring tools, there are no advertisements, spyware, junkware built in to the application.
Choosing a Free Web Page Builder
You can easily create an attractive website using a free web page builder application. The web page builders discussed here are just a few of the many available options for individuals interested in creating their own websites. When choosing a web page builder, it's important to consider your level of skill, need for hosting services, and how you plan to use the website.
Keep in mind that you have to consider the needs of your customers and the credibility of your business if you are creating a commercial website. If you're creating a website to market your offline business or to generate revenue online, you should seek a web page authoring tool that doesn't contain any type of adware or spyware. It's also not a good idea to use a free hosting option for any type of commercial website. Remember that the website you create, along with the image conveyed by your hosting service, will have an impact on your company's image.
