You\u2019ve heard about them. You\u2019ve used websites created with them. Maybe you\u2019ve even used one to create a website yourself. Free website builders have taken over the internet, making it not only possible, but relatively easy to create a website from scratch \u2013 all by yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no question that these tools are good for at least some bloggers and entrepreneurs, as they\u2019ve been used to create amazingly popular blogs and revenue-generating powerhouse websites. But are they really all they\u2019re cracked up to be?<\/span><\/p>\n

Free Website Builders: The Basics<\/b><\/p>\n

There are many examples of free and inexpensive website builders.<\/span> WordPress<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Wix<\/span><\/a> are two of the best-known examples. But most of them work the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll sign up for a free account, then use a variety of tools (including a WYSIWYG editor) to flesh out the website you\u2019ve envisioned for yourself. With a free account, you\u2019ll have access to a handful of free templates, with limited capacity to make tweaks to that layout. You can also choose to pay for things like a domain name, better hosting, premium templates, and more freedom to make changes to the backend of the site. If you stick with the free option, you may be forced to host third party ads on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are the Alternatives?<\/b><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t go with a website builder, what other options are there?<\/span><\/p>\n

The most common route is working with a website design agency like<\/span> Website.design<\/span><\/a>, but other business owners choose to work with freelancers \u2013 or even hire an in-house design team of their own. In any case, you\u2019ll be working with a team of professional designers to put together an original design from scratch \u2013 then develop and launch it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advantages of Free Website Builders<\/b><\/p>\n

There are some impressive advantages to using free website builders:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Free (or cheap) nature. <\/b>Here\u2019s the greatest thing about free website builders: they\u2019re free, or at least somewhat free. You can typically create a free account and build a website without paying money, but if you want an original template, a domain name, or control over your own advertising, you\u2019ll need to pay a fee or subscription. Even then, the costs are relatively low.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Accessibility. <\/b>Even if you have no familiarity or prior experience with web design<\/a> and development, you can probably still use a free website builder. These tools are created with average non-experts in mind. If you can drag and drop, you can create your site from scratch.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Flexibility. <\/b>If you\u2019re willing to pay a bit, you can get a lot of flexibility from website builders. You can modify your templates, rearrange your layout, and use a variety of plugins for exactly the experience you want.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Templates. <\/b>A key feature of website builders is their provision of templates. You can usually choose one of several free templates, or pay to get access to better, \u201cpremium\u201d templates. If you aren\u2019t sure what kind of site you want, it\u2019s a great place to start.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Scalability. <\/b>Because website builders are so easy, accessible, and inexpensive, they\u2019re highly scalable. If you plan on building many different websites for many different domains, they\u2019re a solid option.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Disadvantages of Free Website Builders<\/b><\/p>\n

    However, there are also some prohibitive downsides:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Unoriginal designs. <\/b>There are<\/span> more than 455 million different websites<\/span><\/a> created using WordPress. That\u2019s a lot of people designing websites from the same set of templates. If you rely too heavily on preexisting template designs, you\u2019ll end up looking unoriginal \u2013 and unimpressive in a sea of competitors.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Inherent limitations. <\/b>There are some inherent limitations to what you can do with a website builder \u2013 and even more limitations if you\u2019re trying to build a website entirely for free. This can completely prevent you from getting the site you want.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Domain and hosting problems. <\/b>The free and inexpensive options for domains and hosting generally aren\u2019t worth it. You\u2019ll need to pay to upgrade your package if you want decent service; even then, you may be better off going independent.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. <\/b> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Branding and image issues. <\/b>Justified or not, free website builders have a stigma attached to them. If your visitors see that your site was built using one of these tools, it may cause mild reputational damage.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. <\/b> \u00a0 <\/span>Customer support problems.<\/b> What happens if you\u2019re dissatisfied with your web design? And what if your website isn\u2019t working correctly? Most website builders don\u2019t offer great customer support.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      For some businesses and individuals, free website builders are well worth the time and effort. For others, they\u2019re more trouble than they\u2019re worth. Take all the pros and cons into account when making your decision \u2013 and make sure you get the high-quality website your brand or idea deserves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
