Platforms that are easy to work have in every corner of the Internet, but is it so easy to get into them and how to choose the right one?

This time we are dealing with platforms that enable the creation of websites. It's common for them to be free; that, therefore, the domain is linked to the platform itself and in the link of your site will be the name of the platform; to offer ready-made themes and templates, which can be easily altered according to their own needs and desires; and do not require absolutely no programming knowledge.

1. WIX

The Wix platform has been in existence for over a dozen years, it's cloud-based and is used by millions of users around the world because it makes it easy to create elegant and professional websites. Whether it's a business or artistic presentation, an electronics store or a personal blog, Wix offers all the resources needed for a fully personalized and quality and free website.

Unlike many free platforms, Wix offers incredibly great support to users, in the form of forums and customer support, as well as options that are acquired on other platforms by paying. Among them are mobile applications, text in columns, animations, scroll, mobile application design, and many others.

2. WEEBLY

In favor of Weebly says the fact that more than 40 million websites have been created on this platform, which is visited by over 325 million users. It was founded in 2007, primarily intended for business users who need ready-made web templates, powerful electronic commerce, and integrated promotion.

3. JIMDO

Jimdo's home page gives very brief instructions on how to make a website: select the theme, upload photos, edit the text, and post. Can it be easier than that? You can easily customize your theme to your needs, without fear that you will be left without a site - whatever you do, the content does not endure. Which type of site to make, online stores, business pages, blogs, everything will work. Do you spend a lot of time in transportation and do not have to edit your site? No problem - Jimdo offers mobile phone apps through which you can edit your website while on the go. And each site is automatically adapted to various devices, so it looks equally good on a computer, tablet, or mobile phone monitor.

On this platform, over 15 million colorful sites were created, unique as those who created them.

4. IMCREATOR

Making the site on the Imcreator platform is easy, fast and intuitive, sites are adapted not only to standard devices but also to smartwatches and Google glasses, they look impressive and adaptable to different needs, optimized for search engines in accordance with SEO, hosting and data flow are free, you can edit them on the go, and are not limited by the amount of content you post, so there is no fear that you will have too many pages or too many texts on them. Over 11 million sites testify to this, among which are the most popular topics for weddings, restaurants, blogs, fashion, and business.

The Imcreator platform differs from others by the technology it uses - EPRS Polydomous, stripes that differ in appearance, color and purpose. So it's possible to put stripes for blog posts, photo gallery, online store and contact form on the site, and that works perfectly.

5. SQUARESPACE

The Squarespace platform was created for the iOS operating system, but it turned out to be so good and useful that it was later developed for Android. It's been 12 years old and its existence justifies millions of sites. The values that lead are that the owner of each website should get away from it and create for the users what it would create for itself, that creative individuals can produce great things, that the beauty of simplicity lies in the details, that a good job takes time, and that they still lead ideals and simplicity.

The most popular topics are for business, portfolios, blogs, musicians, restaurants, weddings and personal websites, but that does not mean that there are no other, tailored to your needs.

The bad thing with Squarespace platform is that it is free only during the trial period of 6 months, and even during that time, the limited function of certain functions is limited.

If after a certain amount of time you want to switch to a leased, personal domain, creating and maintaining a new website can always be left to professionals, especially if you are not one of them.

The platforms we deal with have a very large number of users and therefore they deserve to be found on this list. There are many more, but we will leave them behind for some other occasion.
