Free Website Builder
from: IncomeVista.comOne item that seems to be a standard offering by many web hosting services is a free website builder. As an even better deal, the easy web site builder software has recently become included in most of the web hosting packages at no charge. If you are thinking about using some kind of site builder because you don't understand how to build a site yourself, then first consider a web hosting service. Chances are that if you consider both a site builder and a web hosting service at the same time, you will probably save money.
Site builders are usually web-based and allow you to quickly create custom websites online. Building your website using one of these programs is normally the easiest and least expensive way to get your website online as you can do it without the expense of hiring a professional web design firm.
From the more complex text-based website builder programs of yesterday to these newer free website builder programs that a hosting company will give you access to, you will find that they are now making the best, new websites. Normally, the process begins by selecting from many different ready made website templates and themes, or you may be able to choose to design your site using one of the website builders without having to use one of the ready made templates. The second option should only be used if you have the skills necessary to start your site from scratch.
Most website builders are quite simple to use. You select the template and then you customize it by using an online control panel. Be sure not to confuse this with your hosting site builder control panel as both programs come with a similar site panel. Most programs usually come with tutorials so that you will be able to customize text, images and update your pages whenever you need to do so, all without HTML coding knowledge. By generating web site pages with an online tool you will not have to worry about a site builder conflicting with your operating system.
Most often a more advanced free website builder includes other options, such as the ability to build a Flash site, instead of a static HTML site. The Flash site builder will allow you to have an intro page, as well as animated components. Also, many include additional e-commerce options, image galleries or photo albums, forums, blogs and many other useful features. All of this can be easily completed just by using the online control panel that comes with the program.
