I’ve been using a free website builder called SiteMaker, provided via EzWeb123.com, for some time now and really like it. Although there is the normal limitation on templates this one actually has around 4,000 and you can edit the template to some degree.

The thing I particularly like about this one over others I’ve tried is its speed. It’s very quick to use as it uses flash rather than Ajax, which I’ve found to be very slow and often frustrating. There are also enough design and widgets to make your site look good enough, even for a small or start up business.

I’ve kept my site free (with ads) for now, but may upgrade. But even if your site is free it still includes free hosting and there is no doubt a significant saving going for a free website builder with hosting, rather than a hosting site with a website builder! Also some of the builders adopted by the hosting companies are very limited and again slow.
