Website.com is another builder that advertises simple and easy-to-use tools. In fact, it claims that you can create a site in three easy steps. They also offer free website templates, free domains, personalized email addresses and more.
Some features that make Website.com better include a one-page dashboard, page management system, professional templates, free domains and web apps. Putting your site together is simple if you want to create an informative business site without an online store through Website.com.
Getting Started
Website.com makes it simple to get started. You choose your own domain address or transfer an existing address to Website.com. You pick a plan. The start package is only $4.95 a month and includes a free domain name, free private registration, five web pages, unlimited page views, five email accounts and basic website templates.
You can upgrade to $8.95 a month and get all of the following with additional web pages, 25 email accounts and premium website templates. Managed packages are $29.95 a month and include unlimited web pages, 100 email accounts, premium templates, premium stock photos and custom design with Website.com developers.
Picking a Template
You can pick websites by categories or browse all of the templates. You can demo all of the templates and customize them as you want. Most of the templates are well-designed, but the premium templates are the better choice for modern design. Categories include business and organizations, restaurants and hospitality, arts and entertainment, fashion and retail, personal blog and design.
How to Edit a Page
All of the editing occurs on one page with Website.com. You can edit text, image, media, shape, web forms and add buttons. You can also add social media icons and much more. You can also manage all of your pages from this one dashboard, which includes all of those mentioned elements for each page as well as app management, customized design and settings.
Each page has settings that you can change depending on the template. For example, if you want to create an “About Us” page, it will be different than your blog page, which you can set in the page management section of the dashboard.
So What’s Free
Each package does come with added benefits. You get a free personalized domain, which is registered privately. If you register a domain elsewhere, you would pay $25 or more for registration and private registration. You also get a select number of email accounts for free with each package or unlimited email accounts if you choose the Managed package.
Create More Functionality with Web Apps
Website.com also has web apps, which include PayPal, YouTube, Flickr, Google, Ebay, social media, Google Maps, photo galleries and much more. You can incorporate these web apps for more functionality and sharing options for your visitors. It’s also possible to share videos and photos on right on your website.
All in all, Website.com provides incredible value if you want to create a simple website for your business or blog.
