We have been building websites for various online ventures for over 12 years and are therefore in a unique position to separate the wheat from the chaff. We run Shopify stores, news blogs, landing pages and comparison websites. Having built hundreds of websites for clients and ourselves, we are in a unique position to provide you with all the information you will need to successfully create your own website (and hopefully have fun doing so!).
Top10Site.Builders is funded by affiliate marketing. This means that if you read our Wix review for example and then sign up to one of its paid plans, we’ll receive a small commission. Most of the website builders we recommend on this site offer free trials or money-back guarantees, which means that if you’re not happy, we don’t make any money.
So the deal is we have to provide you with clear, up to date, realistic and impartial advice and recommendations, otherwise you won’t be happy and we won’t get paid.
Here are some of the testing criteria we used to rank the best website builders:
Ease of use: How easy is it for non-techy users to learn to use the site builder and create their first website? Is everything intuitive and easy or are there any annoying glitches or bugs?
Flexibility: How many different kinds of sites can be built? How good are the templates, widgets and other add-ons? Can you add a blog, a slideshow, or an email newsletter collector?
Pricing: Which pricing tiers are there and does the package offer decent value for money? Are there free plans, trials and money back guarantees?
Reviews: We researched various other sites and professional reviews, as well as customer feedback for each website builder in our list from sites like TrustPilot and our own reader reviews. We then aggregated the results to determine what others are saying.
Other criteria we took into account include mobile compatibility, website speed, SEO functions, hosting packages and many more. You can read more about each of these criteria in our detailed website builder reviews where you can also reach out to us and comment on each product.
