Get your website done in minutes

One of the advisories I have previously given out here and elsewhere is that website building is a technically challenging job. Many people like me stick to platforms like blogger, or Wordpress. Nothing wrong in itself, but there is a dependency on policy changes or restrictions introduced by Google or any other third party. This is pretty serious for people who make some serious money out of their sites, or planning to do that in the future.

The easy way out - Weebly.


The Easiest Way to Create a Website. Weebly.com

Weebly allows you not only to create websites easily, but will make it a fun activity. The development of website is a largely drag and drop activity, and done easily enough. You can select the finer details of the look & feel of the website including font colours, standard colours, images, the placement of text and images on the web page and so on.


The site contains hundreds of themes that provide differing layouts, colours, fonts in all pre-built goodness. This makes the website look cool, professional, but at the same time does not involve technology challenges.


The final website that you develop is automatically enabled for desktops, and mobile devices. This makes it really easy to develop without worrying on the development complexity arising out of the need to support various device layouts, but also simplifies the ongoing maintenance process.

Weebly continues to be the host once you have developed the website using their tools. You can start on Weebly for free, but anything more than the basic features will require one or the other paid packages.



Looking for more fine-grained control on the website? You always have the option of using a content management system like Drupal or Wordpress. Although the drag and drop functionalities are not that advanced, those platforms do provide a lot of powerful features.

What is your point of view? Have you used Weebly and found it useful?
