So you need to build a website but there's just so many tools to choose from — Which one is the right fit for you?

Well I've been reviewing website builders since 2013 and in this video I'm going to share what I believe are the five best website builders right now.

No company has sponsored this video. This is my honest opinion and I've personally built sites with every single website builder I mentioned.

Squarespace — Best all-around website builder.
Wix — A close competitor to Squarespace. Lots of freedom.
Shopify — Great for ecommerce.
Webflow — Great for designing your theme from scratch.
Carrd — Low price. Great for simple, one-page websites.

Remember: at the end of the day it's important to just get started.

Choose a tool, try it's free trial and start building. You'll discover REALLY quickly if it's going to work for you.

And remember that there are good websties built with bad website builders and bad websites with good website builders. Writing good copy and having good photos is probably more important than the right tool.

GOOD LUCK!!

    One video to rule them all. Thank you very much for your objectivity
  • Great video! I wanted to touch base on Shopify - It does have a bit more customization than you stated. When customizing you can create templates for other types of pages. So instead of just editing the home page layout, you can create product specific templates, or collection templates, and then connect those afterward. This gives you a lot more options in terms of customization.

    The most objective review of website builders I have seen on YouTube so far.

    Steve, I thought your explanation of the difference between these website builders and WP was crystal clear, and I couldn’t agree with you more. For a simple guy like myself who is just trying to build a simple website for my humble tea business with no prior website building experience, this video really hit home for me. I would love to do a total custom build and make a spectacular website via WP, but then how to make it a blog with ecommerce functioning? How to connect payment options? How to ensure it’s all secure? How to keep it all updated? How to make it responsive? How to figure out shipping and taxes that change? …you get my point. And I definitely get yours. All of that is learnable and doable through WP I’m sure. But do I want to spend the time to become a website building expert, or do I want a functioning website with all that essentially taken care of so I can focus on the business.
