The Best Free Website Builders for 2025

Wix has nearly everything you could want from a website builder. An intuitive interface lets you create beautiful pages from hundreds of available templates. Widgets and mobile-specific tools add flexibility and functionality. Robust e-commerce tools let businesses sell memberships and digital downloads. And excellent uptime ensures that your site will be online.

On top of all its powerful, business-friendly paid features, Wix’s free tier is our Editors’ Choice winner in the category. You’ll give up some premium features, and you’ll have to tolerate on-site ads, but Wix is far and away the best option for anyone looking to build great sites without paying monthly fees.

GoDaddy’s free website builder helps you create a great website to pair with a GoDaddy domain. With GoDaddy Websites + Marketing, you get unlimited monthly data transfers and unlimited storage at every tier, including the free one. But you’ll need to select one of the premium plans to let you tap e-commerce features for creating an online store. 

This tool puts marketing right in the title. GoDaddy’s builder not only helps you create sites but gives you the features needed to get that site in front of as many eyeballs as possible. Thanks to powerful marketing and SEO functionality, this is an excellent builder for people who want to promote their sites, businesses, or general online presence with mathematical efficiency. 

Strikingly is a bit limited, even among free tiers. It doesn’t offer many templates, and it lacks robust site customization, but what’s there is responsive and attractive. You’ll get a Strikingly-brand site with 5GB of data throughput per month, but you’ll need to pull out the plastic to create multi-page sites, sell products, or even integrate third-party widgets. If you choose Strikingly, though, at least you’ll rest easy knowing that your site is online, thanks to the service’s excellent uptime.

Despite its limitations, Strikingly has a surprising amount of flexibility. With its easy-to-use tools and ability to switch templates while designing, you can preview your site and quickly make changes without committing to much extra work. With its free tier, you don’t even have to commit to paying before seeing if the website builder is right for you. Think of Strikingly more as a paid website builder with a robust free trial, which alone makes it more useful than the free tiers from some competing services.

Ucraft is a serviceable website builder made much more competitive thanks to recent Ucraft Next improvements. While it doesn’t sport the most intuitive interface, it does let you and your collaborators design attractive custom sites for desktop and mobile. 

Ucraft’s free tier makes it a good pick for anyone looking to try building a website or even an online store without fully committing. If you like what you see, you can subscribe to a premium tier to remove all limitations and really go for it.

Webflow is a well-designed website builder with intuitive, modern tools that let novices create capable sites. Its more advanced features push sites even further. For example, its AI helpers assist in the site-building process, the CMS tool efficiently manages content, and third-party apps expand functionality.

Webflow is for anyone who wants many options for how much or how little they want to pay for their site. In fact, it has an entirely free tier. If you’re willing to spend more cash, you can unlock everything from e-commerce features to increased bandwidth to premium templates. Webflow’s upcharges can feel annoying, but having choices is nice.

Some users are more than happy to give up certain advanced features if it means having an easier overall experience. Weebly doesn’t have the most customization options, but you can still make quality sites with its many attractive themes. The website builder lets you monitor stats to see how your site performs and sell physical and digital goods. With a free Weebly hosting account, you’ll receive a generous unlimited monthly data transfer plan and the ability to switch themes without rebuilding your website.

Weebly appeals to people who value convenience. You don’t need to tinker with themes to create a good-looking website. It’s one of the few builders that let you switch themes without rebuilding the site, which is a big plus. And it offers unlimited monthly data transfers across the board. The free tier has highs and lows. Without paying, your site will have ads, a Weebly domain, a 10MB maximum file size, and 500MB of storage. For more, including the ability to sell digital goods, you must upgrade to one of Weebly’s paid tiers.
