There are more and more services popping up that allow anyone to easily and seamlessly create a website. All of these servicesgive you the ability to create a website in a matter of minutes; no programming required. They actually have some pretty nice looking templates and have some great features. There are four services in particular that I’ve been looking at and have referred to people who have $0 budget, but need a simple website built (whether it be or personal or business use).
Weebly, Roxer, 350pages, and Webnodes. These services say any novice can build a site with ease and I have to say; they are telling the truth. They have designed it so that a child could use any of these services and set up a webpage. I am really impressed with their features as well, especially Weebly and Webnodes.
Snapshot of Weebly’s features:
* Create a website & blog
* Switch designs on the fly
* Drag and drop interface
* Buy a new domain instantly, or
* Host your existing domain for free
* Add content elements, such as videos, pictures, maps, and text

Webnodes has some pretty awesome templates too; very modern and up-to-date. They seem to be the most cutting edge out of the group of free website building services.
All of these services are free. It will be interesting to see if they remain free and if these services can survive.
