How To Make A Website > Website Builders
Website builders are tools to assist with making a website
so that you don't need the HTML knowledge to build a professional
website. You can break website builders down into two main
categories, free website builders and premium website builders.
From there you can break them down into categories
such as online website builders and desktop website
builders. Below I'm going to break them down into free
website builders and premium website builders. On the
detail page I'll break them down even further to make
your understanding a bit better.
Website Tonight
Website Tonight is an online website builder that takes a lot of the
headache out of building a website. You simply need to register a
domain name, setup a Website Tonight account and begin building your
website.It's all managed online so you simply choose a template
from 100's of templates and begin filling in the blanks with your
content and images. Once you're done you can upload it to your
hosting account and your website is online.
You can make as many changes as you'd like, you can even change
the template as often as you'd like with no additional charges.

Free Website BuildersThere are certainly advantages and
disadvantages to free website builders. One thing is that they offer
free website builders to get you in the door and then begin to
charge you after a trial period or for advanced capabilities.As

Premium Website BuildersPremium website builders are the tools
that you pay for up front. They generally provide advanced tools for
building your website plus you own the software so there are no
month to month fees associated with them.A couple examples of
premium website builders are Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft
FrontPage. Both of them are applications that you pay to own and you
install on your computer. As I mentioned, you have 100% control of
the webpage so if you want to add scripts or anything else to your
website you can. You're only limited by your knowledge.

Online Website BuildersOnline website builders are great
because you don't have any software to run on your computer so if
you're away from you computer you can make updates to your website
from any computer that has an internet connection.Much like any
other website builder, online website builders have their
disadvantages such as limited flexibility with the capabilities and
the overall look of your website. In my dedicated page to online
website builders you'll find additional information on the
advantages and disadvantages of an online website builder.
