In my half-decade as an SEO content marketer, I\u2019ve spent a good chunk of my time either testing or working with any number of free website builders: CMS Hub, WordPress.com, WordPress.org, Wix, Weebly, Webflow, and<\/a> name it.<\/p>\n

In my half-decade as an SEO content marketer, I\u2019ve spent a good chunk of my time either testing or working with any number of free website builders: CMS Hub, WordPress.com, WordPress.org, Wix, Weebly, Webflow, and<\/a> name it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

These website builder tools have been essential for me to publish content, either for my current employer or for my side projects. I\u2019ve therefore been able to get well acquainted with their capabilities over time.<\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

But if and<\/a>\u2019re new to the website builder game, and<\/a> might be confused about where to start. What is the best choice if and<\/a> don\u2019t know how to code<\/a>? Which one would give and<\/a> the most bang for zero bucks? And which options include a good<\/em> domain name, versus a garbled, messy subdomain?<\/p>\n

The most common method is to buy a web hosting<\/a> plan and a domain name<\/a>, and then install and<\/a>r preferred and<\/a>-care.aspx”>CMS<\/a> on and<\/a>r website, such as WordPress.org or Joomla.<\/p>\n

The problem with that option is that when and<\/a> install WordPress or Joomla out of the box, it comes with no handbook or content. When I\u2019ve used this method before, I found that my website was literally like a blank page, which meant that unless I hired a developer or spent a lot of time building it, the end result would look quite unfinished and unprofessional.<\/p>\n

When I was testing out free website builders such as CMS Hub or WordPress.com, I found that I was able to shorten my workflow considerably. The themes came with placeholder text and images, for instance, that made my website feel more complete than if I\u2019d started with an out-of-the-box CMS.<\/p>\n

How I Tested the Best Website Builders<\/h2>\n

When trying to find the best website builders for this post, I considered workflow to be the most important factor. Is it easy to set up a website from the start, or do and<\/a> need extensive time and experience to do it?<\/p>\n

Chances are, if and<\/a>\u2019re looking for a free website builder, and<\/a>\u2019d like the set up to be painless and seamless. For that reason, I chose tools that had:<\/p>\n
