It has drag and drop, so it is very easy to use and you can place things anywhere, which means that you have the opportunity to be really creative. There are lots of themes and templates to choose, from which vary a lot so you can pick something that you like, but you will be able to customise it a lot and this means that it is possible for you to get a really unique look for your site.

There are also lots of SEO features which means that your site should come up high in search engines. You also have the option of adding an ecommerce shop as well.

Weebly

Weebly has a simple drag and drop system which means that it is really easy to use. It is also priced well and that means that it is a popular option. It has a built-in educational system which explains things as you go along and so it will make it even easier to put together your first website using it. The themes are all responsive to mobile devices which is extremely useful. It has a blog feature and the blog will have the same theme as your website. There is SSL included in the more expensive packages. There is a good newsletter function which you can use with your own email address if you do not want to sign up for one. It is possible to make changes to meta keywords, titles and descriptions on every page so that that work well for SEO purposes. There is a free version that you can try out, which will not have all of the features of the paid versions but still allows you to have a go before you pay.

So, you can see that these three web builders have lots of interesting features. You may find that one will be more appealing to you because it provides more of what you think you might need and want. You will also find that they will vary in price and you will need to think about what you can afford and which will give you better value for money. It could be better to pay out a bit more money if it means that you get more features that you need or want, so it is important to have a think about this and work out what you need and which looks the best for that.
