Seeking the best website builders out there is as easy as reading this page – because we've already done the hard work for you, and compiled the very best options for all user types. With the best website builders, you can have a fully functioning website up and running in a matter of hours. And the best bit is you don't need to know anything about coding, as these builders are designed for users who don't want to delve into the back end of a site. You don't need to be a whizz designer either, as the majority of website builders have a huge selection of customisable templates.

While there are free services out there, and free tiers on some of the popular website builders, the best ones will come with a recurring cost. We think it's worth paying as you get a clean, ad-free site with unlimited bandwidth (meaning getting too many visitors won't knock it down), as well as your own custom URL. Web hosting and domain name tend to be included in the subscription price.
