The thought of building a website or even just a web page always fascinates me. Thanks to Weebly, even without html or website building knowhow, I can create a decent looking site.Weebly is a free cross-platform (OS) and online web creation site created with financial assistance from the Y Combinator. It was originally created by David Rusenko, Dan Veltri, and Chris Fanini.
A competitor to Freewebs, Weebly allows you to create professional looking websites at a few drags and clicks. It is web-based so basically all it takes to get started is Internet access and a web browser.
The highlights:
- It's FREE
- Drag and drop interface
- Instant website design switching
- Blog platform
- Custom HTML
- Video and photo widgets
- Adbrite
- Multiple websites for a single account
- Free site stats tool
- Free hosting
- Option to buy domain name through Weebly or assign created website to a new domain (that may have been registered with other registrars)
- Free website promotion tools
Yes, you get all these features at no cost. Don't ask how the creators of the site intend to earn from it--they definitely know what they're doing.
Blog with Weebly. Create a business page. Build a directory. Host a classified ads page. Virtually everything is possible. You can even make your online store. There are a number of designs to choose from and it's as easy as clicking buttons to switch designs at will.
Weebly smacks of an effort to take employment off from web developers. It gives any non-techie the power to create a decent looking website. Add to that the promotional tools, income-generating ads, and free hosting.
