About this directory

This is a curated directory for anyone choosing a website builder. We compare ease for a beginner, design and templates, room to grow, help when you are stuck and value for money so you can make a confident choice without reading a dozen marketing pages first.

Every entry says what the website builder does well, where it makes a trade-off, and who it is not for. Ratings are editorial and applied by hand rather than scraped, which is why each one has a stated definition you can disagree with.

Entries carry the date they were last checked, and we re-verify them rather than leaving stale claims in place. If something here is wrong or missing, tell us — an inaccurate directory is worse than a small one.
