Create a Website Easily With Wix (Even the Free Version) | PCWorld

Another free website/hosting option



Taken from:

Create a Website Easily With Wix (Even the Free Version) | PCWorld: "To start you off, Wix offers dozens of ready-made HTML5 templates, subdivided into categories such as Kids, Music, Fashion, Food & Drink, and more. There are also single-page personal profile templates, competing directly against services like about.me and flavors.me. The templates are beautiful, and don't look anything like Wordpress or other content management systems. Like Weebly, Wix uses Web fonts, so it's not all Arial and Times New Roman: Titles are sometimes rendered in playful script fonts, and some themes use with thin, all-caps sans serif fonts for dramatic impact. The templates avoid Lorem Ipsum, opting instead for placeholder text that's in plain English and more closely resembles actual copy. In the rare event that no template catches your fancy, you can always start with a blank slate and create your website from scratch."

The best free tools for website sustainability.

By Ahsan Anderson, (anderson.ahsan@gmail.com)  Nuffield Bursary Student . All views are Ahsan Anderson not necessarily the views of the blog editor. I’ve created a few websites in the past, varying from those for business use or those to advertise bands in local areas, but with my line of work they’ve all had the same thing in common, and that’s money. When I’ve created them I have used a variety of tools; web builders for example, and one very key thing to these is that they all cost money for hosting. There are a few hurdles you can’t overcome, for example, there is no escaping the cost you will have to pay to have your domain name bought, but when building your website, sometimes there is no need to have to pay for the tools, as I will explain now. Whether you are willing to pay for the hosting or you wish to host yourself (or use free sites like 000hosting.com) this list will narrow down the choice of good modern builders that you can use.
