The Best Website Builders of 2026

Wix is a website builder that lets you create your site without knowing how to code, using a visual drag-and-drop editor. It's used to build personal sites, business websites, portfolios, blogs, and online stores.

1) The free plan shows Wix ads and uses a subdomain (yourname.wixsite.com). 2) You can't switch templates once your site is published. 3) Very large sites can load a bit slower. 4) You can't migrate your site to another platform. 5) To sell online or use your own domain, you need a paid plan.

Yes, Wix has a free-forever plan, but with limitations: it shows Wix ads, uses a subdomain like "yourname.wixsite.com", and doesn't let you sell online or connect your own domain. For that you need a Premium plan (from about €11/month).

Almost any kind of website: business pages, portfolios, blogs, appointment booking, online stores, restaurants, and more. It includes templates, hundreds of apps, marketing and SEO tools, and even AI-assisted design.

A free Wix site doesn't expire — you can keep it indefinitely. However, it will keep the Wix ads and the free subdomain as long as you don't upgrade to a paid plan.

Squarespace plans start at around €17/month (Basic plan with annual billing) and go up to about €79/month (Advanced plan). Paying month to month is somewhat more expensive; annual billing saves between 30% and 36%.

Squarespace is an all-in-one website builder known for its elegant templates. It's used to create professional websites, portfolios, blogs and online stores with a highly polished design, no coding skills required.

It's one of the best options if design is your priority: its templates are among the most beautiful on the market and the results look very professional with little effort. In exchange, it's somewhat less flexible than Wix and has no free plan.

Pros: elegant templates, professional results and everything built in (domain, hosting, blog and store). Cons: no free plan (only a 14-day trial), the editor is less flexible than Wix's, and there are fewer third-party apps.

Unfold is a Squarespace app for creating stories and visual content for social media (like Instagram), with attractive templates. It lets you design professional-looking stories and posts from your phone.

Shopify is an e-commerce platform that lets you create and manage your own online store: add products, take payments, handle shipping and inventory, all from a single dashboard. It's mainly used to sell physical or digital products online.

No, Shopify doesn't have a permanent free plan. It offers a 3-day free trial (sometimes with promotions of €1/month for 3 months), and then plans start at around €5/month (Starter plan) or €32/month (Basic plan) for a full store.

If you use its Shopify Payments system, there's no extra fee from Shopify — only the standard card or terminal processing fee. If you use a third-party payment gateway, Shopify charges a transaction fee (around 2% on the Basic plan, lower on higher-tier plans).

Not much: the Basic plan costs around €32/month (or €5/month for the Starter plan). On top of that, add a domain (around €10-15/year) and, optionally, paid apps or a premium theme. You can get started for under €50 a month.

By selling products in your store: your own, third-party products (dropshipping), digital products, or services. You can also earn through affiliate programs or by selling via social media channels connected to your Shopify store.

Yes, Webnode has a free plan that lets you build and publish a functional website on a subdomain like "yoursite.webnode.com", with no time limit. To use your own domain and remove limitations, you need a paid plan (starting at around €3.90/month).

Webnode is a simple, affordable website builder that lets you create sites without knowing how to code. It works for personal websites, business sites, blogs, or small online stores, and stands out for its ease of use and multilingual support.

It's a very good option if you're looking for something easy, fast, and cheap: ideal for a simple professional website, especially a multilingual one. In exchange, it offers fewer design and customization options than Wix or Squarespace.

Go to the Webnode website and click "Log in" (top right). Enter the email and password you registered with; you can also sign in with your Google or Facebook account if you linked it.

It's a website created with the Webnode platform. It can be a personal site, a business site, a blog, or a store, built with Webnode's templates and editor and hosted on Webnode's servers.
