Website Creation For The Rest Of Us - Now Fast Easy & Free

A friend of mine asked me yesterday to write about tools that help "regular" people create a website.


Obviously, in order to qualify for this blog, the tools have to:

  • Let you build your website in minutes with no programming knowledge!
  • Offer many templates!!
  • Be FREE!!!


Today I will cover 3 of my favorite online website creation tools - SynthaSite, Weebly and WebNode:





SynthaSite is a website creator that's "Fast, Free and EASY".

It allows you to create pages using template and content widgets, which means that you simply drag-and-drop content elements like pictures, text, video and Google Maps.

They also have many additional features for more advanced users, such as contact forms, guestbooks etc.

Take a look at this video tutorial to understand how SynthaSite (and online website creators in general) works:











Weebly is another favorite of mine.

They also offer "...fast, easy and FREE website building experience for everyone that wants to publish content onto the web..."


With Weebly you can:


  • Create a website & blog
  • Switch designs on the fly
  • Drag and drop interface
  • Buy a new domain instantly, or
  • Host your existing domain for free


The best way to get a feel for Weebly, is by trying their live demo.







WebNode is another online tool that provides a way of creating and editing advanced websites by just using a web browser.

The system is very easy to use and is fully interactive.

Real-time fast editing as you see it in the browser.



By using Drag-and-Drop from the toolbar you can add new content such as polls, forums, articles, catalogues, widgets such as PayPal and much more.

Webnode contains more than 40 beautiful templates or you can make your own.


Again, the best way to get a feel for WebNode, is by trying their live demo.
