WEEBLYURL - www.weebly.com
What it does - This is a free web site creator. There are pay plans for some advanced features, but the free plan is very generous on features and space. Account setup - quick and easy, all you need is do is enter your name, e-mail, and a password on the left side of the home page. Ease of use - Considering the scope of the features (you may use video, contact forms, blogs, etc. with the free plan) it is VERY easy to use. You may choose from a large collection of pre-made designs, or start with a blank site and choose every aspect, if you wish. Page elements are added by dragging them to the page from the "toolbar" at the top. (see pic, right) Click "Publish" to share it with the world! My favorite web site tool. |
