But choosing the optimal website builder can sometimes be a tough task. Following is a list of five website builders that are worth your attention. Make sure to test-drive them all before you develop a ultimate decision.

Google Sites

This is a relatively new product of Google, but as with any other product they launch, it is absolutely free and built impressively. What’s unique about Google Sites is that you can utilize almost all of Google’s products like Google Drive, Google Calendar, RSS. AdSense, Maps and YouTube (to name a few). You can easily build a website with all these cool integration features that enable your employers to collaborate with one another, store files, easily post news, add gadgets, but even more importantly provide you with information about your users’ latest activities on your site. The selection of themes is a bit poor, so at this point this website builder may be more convenient for collaborative sites and intranets.

Weebly

Weebly.com is the best and the easiest source for creation of website. You can easily edit the content area of each page, as well as the header and footer section that wraps around all pages, by dragging and dropping the elements (meaning paragraphs, buttons, galleries, videos, forms and columns). And you don’t even think about it. You feel like you are designing the page itself.
The interface only contains elements that you need on your screen. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything is clearly presented so you won’t have to figure out by yourself where the options are. There’s also a great selection of themes to choose from, each with a distinct appearance and a variety of color options. Weebly’s latest version from May 2013 also features a new mobile editor, where you get two versions of your website – a desktop and a mobile version. Some might advocate Weebly to start using responsive designs, considering the fact it is the latest trend in web design.

Yola

Yola is another great and easy to use platform for new website builders. Whatever you want to edit and change a simple drag-and-drop will do it. Everything is well thought and planned so that absolutely anyone can easily “hatch” their website. There are tons of cool widgets, custom panels, a “save as” feature, and you can also publish a mobile version of your Yola website with a unique editor that lets you preview how the mobile version will look like without having to use your own smartphone. The paying users with premium packages also get access to Yola’s SEO Scan Report to grade how well their websites are optimized.

Jimdo

Jimdo is a great free website builder with simple and standard layouts; nothing too intriguing and eye-catching. It features a solid and flexible style editor that lets you define the styles for your headings and paragraphs, and make a variety of changes to your blog. It is clean and easy to use, and it has an ecommerce that works great managing the confirmation emails, processing of orders, shipping costs and everything else that goes into this type of websites. Jimdo automatically converts your site into a mobile version, but the drawback is the template is the same for every site.

Wix

Wix were considered as one of the best “flash” website builders, but since flash was replaced with html they had to adopt too by rewriting their website builder to create HTML5 / Javascript websites. This is a true drag and drop editor which makes it very easy for people to use by positioning the elements literally anywhere they want on the page. Wix also offers other features which its users find very handy and helpful. Because it uses Javascript there are no page reloads, but only the relevant new content is loaded. The site-wide elements are also really easy to control. And Wix also has one of the best app stores with Instagram Feed, Live Chat, Tumblr, Google Maps, Social Calendars, to truly extend its users capabilities when creating their new websites.
