Session 4 - Online website builders

We have looked at how you can create a website easily using Blogger, but as well as using Blogs to create websites, there are also heaps of other tools that you can use.

Here are a few that have a reasonable free option, but allow you to upgrade if you want more functionality.

Wix

I must admit that this is one of my favourite web creation tools (outside of Blogger). It is easy to use and has a variety of plans. There are tutorials and lots of help available as well.

Once you register and/or login, you can start to create or edit your site.

Choose a template

And edit it to make it your own.

You can click on any of the sections and change text and/or images. You can upload your own images or chose from a range of free images within Wix.

Watch some tutorial videos on how to use Wix.

Weebly

Another free website builder is Weebly. http://www.weebly.com

Plenty of templates available and a simple editor that allows you to customise your site.

And again, lots of help available.
