It is impossible to find website builder software that will be a one-size-fits-all solution. Whatever web building tool you will go for, it will come with its specific characteristics, pros and cons as well as user indications. There is one common feature that is a must for any modern website builder – the one that allows building websites, optimized for mobile viewing.

If you have ever tried using Mobirise, then you have the firsthand knowledge of how simple, convenient and affordable this website builder is. It was launched with the needs of non-techies in mind and allows creating websites for commercial and non-commercial use at no cost, featuring a broad range of options and tools that are understandable and simple for users with diverse expertise rate.

Despite Volusion obvious benefits that include an advanced educational database, customer support, extended e-commerce features, intuitive dashboard and already built-in marketing options, the platform will hardly get the title of the best e-commerce website builder considering its crucial cons and Volusion alternatives like Shopify or WIX.

Adobe Dreamweaver is an offline web building software, which was created with the needs of professionals in mind. The service allows launching and publishing dynamic websites of various complexity levels, providing rich feature set, quality templates that can be effectively customized with regard to your business needs and advanced functionality.

Hailing from Germany, Jimdo is a brainchild of a team of dedicated developers who managed to implement above average commerce features. However, it is far from being perfect whenever you need to create a blog or a business card website from scratch. Jimdo obviously lacks well-designed templates.

BigCommerce is undoubtedly a renowned leader in the eCommerce niche. This specialized website builder was created with the needs of online store owners in mind and, thus, offers the required set of features and tools needed to launch a powerful, functional and appealing web store. The system has many fans, who keep using it on a regular basis to solve their eCommerce tasks.

When it comes to building websites, Wix doesn’t seem to have any competitors at all. The service boasts worldwide popularity and there is hardly a web designer (even a newbie), who hasn’t heard about the platform or used it to launch quality, professional and functional websites. Wix can cope with almost any web building task you have. Then what’s the sense to compare it with a simpler web building solution like Sitebuilder.com?

Jimdo and Squarespace, being two of the most popular DIY website building platforms, might look alike, as they attempt to achieve the same goals: help you create professional-looking websites in a fast, easy and affordable way and empower designers to build unique sites for their clients without having to rely on developers for assistance. Despite the shared mission, the two have subtle differences that could be decisive for your new website. So, in this comparison research we’ll focus on answering the most pressing questions – what’s the difference (in pricing, ease-of-use, performance etc.) – rather than providing in-depth analyses of these site builders.

2016 seems to be a year of continuing evolution and tremendous growth for many website builders, including Jimdo and Weebly. Both web services have undergone a series of significant updates over the past months: Jimdo released an iOS application and updated the editing interface and new Image Editor from Adobe Creative SDK (see details in my Jimdo review)

All WYSIWYG website builders are pretty much the same.Their editors are based on similar principles. The use of widgets, adding and preview of changes in the real-time mode, block settings – these features are are available almost in any system of this type. It goes without saying that widgets can be also called “modules”, “features” or anything like that. Interfaces may be completely different, but the essence remains the same: users with no programming skills are able to build a website with a few clicks only.
