With these tools your only Job is to gather content and after that you organise the way you want your website or blog to look like you can copy and design of any website with these tools and you create a responsive and nice looking attracting website.
Here are the 10 best website builders that are free and paid and their order doesn't matter
1. WIX
With
an incredible audience of 200m users, Wix is certainly the biggest
website creation tool out there. It started out as a Flash-based platform
originally. That’s why you may sometimes still hear old rumors of Wix not being
able to rank well in search engines. Today they are the most flexible website
creator out there.
Their
development speed is breathtaking, which also makes them the best website tool creator in our table. Almost every month Wix
announces a new feature. They even offer their very own suite of business
tools, Thanks to Wix ADI absolute beginners can now use a guided
website creation assistant to build a website in no time. And for those with more
experience, powerful tools such as Wix Editor X and Wix Velo can
give you greater control in developing fully-responsive, interaction-driven
sites.
What we like: their eye for design.
One of the biggest advantages is that there are hundreds of well
designed templates that you can use for free and there are very easy to apply.
And then there is the huge range of features: thanks to their App Market you
can easily add new features to your website (e.g. a newsletter subscription, an
events calendar, a forum, etc.). We’re especially big fans of their member area feature,
which allows site members to log in and manage orders, payments, bookings and
more. They’re also constantly improving the online store, which is a great
option for smaller stores.

2. SQUARE SPACE
Square
Space has been around since 2003 and speaks of “millions” of websites
created on their platform. With a market share similar to Wix’s, it’s one
of the undeniable big players in the website builder market. It’s hard not to
like the clean design of their website and the powerful aesthetics. The
question is, though, whether their product is just as good as their
self-marketing.
To
begin with, it’s not cheap: their lowest no-frills plan starts at $12 per
month, and it’s one of the few website builders to not offer a free version.
Squarespace’s claim to fame is to offer one of the best blog functions of all
website builders,

3. WEEBLY
Weebly is one of our all-time favorites and it’s not hard to see why. The ease of use of their website editor is still unmatched, probably the easiest website builder. No wonder 40m websites have been created through their platform already.
Every
new feature they add just makes sense – their online store and the
membership area being two good examples. Their content management system is
also laid out to support rather large websites as we know of Weebly websites
that easily count more than 150 pages. Best of all, you’re not constrained by
any storage or bandwidth limits in their paid plans.
The Weebly
Professional plan at $12 per month includes a site search feature as well as
video and audio players, allowing you to stream media directly from your site.
All in all, Weebly is a solid choice.

4. WEBNODE
Although not
as popular as other tools like wix and weebly it is still one of the most
globally used website builders, especially among European users. Webnode is a hit and miss: some features are really
advanced and almost unique in the industry, but it also lacks some basic
functionality that can be a no-go for some.
A free domain name
for most of their plans is included for the first year. On top of that, some
tiers also come with custom email accounts (e.g. info@your-domain.com) for
free.

5. JIMDO
Jimdo
is a German website creator with more than 20m websites to its name. Ease of
use is also their credibility that’s why they introduced Jimdo Dolphin (“no
coding required”), a new system that promises a working website in only 3
minutes. Surprisingly, it’s true! It’s ideal for small local businesses that
already have some information online on Google Maps and Instagram, for example.
Jimdo will then just pull the information and create the website for you.
All you need to do
is to adjust your layout, colors, and add some more copy to it. From all the
website builders we have tested, Jimdo will definitely get your website created
the fasted.
It’s a solid
website creation suite accompanied by a basic online store. All their templates
are fully responsive and display well on desktop and mobile devices. They also
have the Jimdo Creator, which is their classic editor that includes some basic
coding features.

6. Webflow
Webflow is
not your typical drag and drop website builder. Headquartered in San Francisco
and backed up by some big-name funding, Webflow combines powerful CMS
capabilities with an intuitive visual editor. It’s fast becoming the platform
of choice for designers, freelancers and agencies.
With Webflow,
designers have complete control to build responsive websites, without the need
for any coding. They can also take advantage of Webflow’s dynamic content to
build and re-use elements such as templates, helping to ensure design
consistency (while also saving a lot of time and effort).
Because
of this, Webflow is often compared to wordpress – with the added
benefit of being a lot easier to use. Prices start at $12/month, and there are
different available plans for individual sites, and for those who need multiple
websites.

7. DUDA
Duda’s website
builder started out in 2008 and is special in many ways. For once, they get all
the basics right: the templates look great, you get all the SEO settings you
need, the blog is decent and there is an online store.
On top of that,
there are two areas where they manage to outshine their competitors: for
once, you can create multilingual websites with it (an area that barely any
site builders masters). Plus, they also offer what they call “website
personalization tools”. Using them you can show fully customized content to
your visitors, for example, based on their location or the time of the day.
A
very powerful feature!
All
this comes at a price: Duda is not exactly cheap. The lowest plan (Basic
starts at $14 per month and doesn’t include a domain name or email accounts.
However, they have another, unique payment option: Site for Life is a one-time
fee of $299 for one website
(Update: they seem to have removed
this option, we’re still trying to get confirmation from Duda). If you are
planning to keep your website for at least two years, this can make sense for
you.

You
may know Godaddy for their domains and webhosting, but it turns out they
have their very own website builder, too. GoDaddy Websites + Marketing focuses
on exactly that: providing you with a toolkit to build your website, and run
all your email marketing, social media, blogging and SEO.
Their website
builder has seen a few overhauls over the past few years, but this latest
version has some key differences. For one, you can now build a website
completely for free. You also have new features such as a social media content
creator, password-protected pages, and in-built analytics.
Other useful
add-ons include an appointment scheduler, email marketing tool, and messaging
feature. These are (mostly) free to use.
Be aware, though,
that SEO features are very limited on the lower-level plans, and that the
eCommerce feature is only available on their highest-level plan.

9.WORDPRESS.COM
The
software Wordpress, which was first designed to create blogs, now controls
over 40% of all websites on the Internet. It is extremely powerful,
customizable, and flexible. You can create any kind of website with it, from
ecommerce to real estate site or a full online newspaper.
While the software
itself is free and open-source, there is a version that is more like other
website builders on this page. It’s found through WordPress.com, and it comes
with web hosting, pre-installed plugins, a selection of themes, and dedicated
support.
This is all great
because it’s things you usually have to do and find yourself. So WordPress.com
does make it easier than ever for anyone to create a WordPress site.
So why so far down
this list? Each available plan, from the free one to the Premium option ($8 a
month) comes with serious limitations. We found you’ll need at least the
Business tier ($25 a month) to be able to compete with the other solutions
mentioned above.
10. STRIKINGLY
Strikingly
has its focus on one-page layouts. This can be especially interesting if you
want to create a landing page, say for event registrations. Their responsive
designs are indeed striking (no pun intended) and look great on mobile devices.
You can either start with their ad-sponsored free plan or upgrade to the
Limited ($8), Pro ($16) or VIP plan ($49 per month). Limited also includes a
5-product online store, whereas VIP increases this limit to 500 products.
What we like: if you are planning to build
multiple sites, the PRO plan can be interesting as it includes up to 3 sites.
We found their support to be top-notch and it’s pretty easy to get your head
around Strikingly.
What they should improve: single-page websites are not
Google’s favorite so it might not be too easy to rank well. Something simple
like adding an external code snippet requires you to upgrade to the PRO plan,
which is comparatively expensive (unless you will actually create the full
three websites that are included).
