Sooner or Later. Or sooner. Not much, except for a lot. In a way. But it will come no matter what.

Wix.

Although learning the HTML and CSS required to create your own site is far better than any website builder.

Re: Good websites that can be used for creating a free website!

I believe the Scratch Team has discouraged the use of http://punbb-hosting.com/. I don't remember the exact reasons (or even if they did) but it is a heavily spammed website. So I would encourage using another hosting, and preferably not FluxBB since those types of forums in general get spammed a lot.

punbb?  That stuff...  wasn't the best.  I agree that all the other websites are good though.

My I ran my own forums but didn't host them with PunBB Hosting and they still got spammed. Now I will never use PunBB again.

I think that actually programming the website yourself shows more professionalism.


If you can read this you are in range.

I totally agree, but some people don't have the knowledge to do so, and so then simple website builders can be quite useful.
I do know how to build a website, and in fact have done so, but i will still occasionally use a website builder with a WYSIWYG editor, just because it's simple and quick.

Weebly and forumotion are by far the best.  Webnode, webstarts, and wix are good too.

Re: Good websites that can be used for creating a free website!

while programming the website yourself is proffessional, it also costs money.  I take advantage of weebly's html editor, because then i have the programming skills nessessary to bypass the restrictions they make on free accounts.

Once my programming skills advance to a preferred level to my liking, I will start programming websites on my own-completely, and not just through weebly.  until then...weebly it is!

Indeed.  I just use builders for the CSS.  Then I steal the html and edit it.

000webhost.com can have a good CMS... if you make it yourself.  For example, I host cfagency.org on 000webhost.

Re: Good websites that can be used for creating a free website!

Update: All requests so far added, & websites are no longer listed in top priority!
I'm reporting this topic to the mods saying to change the title of this topic to "Good websites that can be used to create a free website!"

Re: Good websites that can be used for creating a free website!

You should probably separate these into web hosts and website creators. It's too confusing for people who don't know the difference now.

By the way, has anyone seen any free python hosting? I'm sick of PHP now.  tongue
