Weebly offers you two ways to
build your website. Both involve
creating it online, and both are as
quick and painless as possible.
The simplest option is to use the
3 Weebly
http://www.weebly.combasic editor builder which will
guide you through a series of
questions before automatically
creating a site for you. There is
scope for customisation, but thefocus here is really on fast results
for anyone who is terrified of
designing websites.
A more hands-on approach is
available if you decide to use the
standard Editor. There are literally
hundreds of stylish templates to
choose from – and, yes, they are
genuinely impressive – which you
can tweak and tailor to your needs
using a beautiful WYSIWYG editor.
Despite being a cloud-based
website builder, Weebly gives you
a great degree of control over the
look of your site and placement of
page elements. This power and
flexibility make Weebly a top-
notchwebsitebuilder.There are two different versions of
WordPress. The more complex
variant can be downloaded from
wordpress.org, and you will need

to upload it to your own web
space and install it yourself.
The simpler, hosted version of
WordPress lets you create yourown site on wordpress.com. You
can create everything from a blog
or photo site, to a fully fledged
online store, and there are a
number of templates to choose
from. Additionally, Mailchimp
users can add a Mailchimp block,
which can grow your mailing list
among other things.
Whether you’re creating a static
site, or a blog-style site with
regularly updated content, the
online editor is a joy to use and
allows just about anyone to create
an impressive, professional-
looking site. The only downside is
the limited range of plugins.RATING
