5 services to create a website for free

Here are 5 recommended tools you can use to create a website even if you're not a pro. I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the 5 builders Wix, SQUARESPACE, WEEBLY, BUBBLE, and CARD, and how to use them appropriately.

1. Wix

‍

Wix can now also be used in Japanese. Supersonic Design has been using it since Wix opened an office in NY in 2008. Even if you don't have any special knowledge, you can use free tools to sell on online stores, and you can use them for many other purposes.
The advantage is that you can make it right away for free.
The disadvantage is that there are slightly fewer degrees of freedom compared to other services, and there are many restrictions. It is suitable for conveying correct information within restrictions. If you are pursuing originality, there are aspects that are difficult to use.
If you want to organize information or create an appropriate domain for free, this is a recommended tool.

2. SQUARESPACE

‍

Basically, this is a paid service.
The advantage of SQUARESPACE is that you can create cool websites. There are a lot of people who use SQUARESPACE at privately owned restaurants, etc. In NY, there are also advertisements for subway cars, and there is a high level of awareness.
There are plenty of templates, so it's easy to make, and the design is cool.
The downside is that it's a bit difficult to use. It's so much due to the design that it's hard to know where what's there.

3. Weebly

‍

Square It is a website builder under the umbrella of Square that was acquired by, and if you try to launch a website with Square, you will be creating it with Weebly.
The advantage is that it connects to Square. If you use Square at the store, it flows directly to the iPad, so it's very easy to use.
There is also a free version, but the free version has limitations, so it may be difficult to convey the merits. The disadvantage is that there are many things that cannot be done. I've created several e-commerce businesses using weebly, but I think there are many advantages of being connected to Square even if you put those aside from being very compatible with Google Analytics and are not very flexible.

4. Bubble

‍

Articles have also been published in Japan, and it has become famous, isn't it?
Bubble is a web app rather than a website.
It's just the right tool for entering and displaying data. There's also a free version, and I think it's just right for those who want to make something like a web app. You can use quite a variety of tools for free, and it's suitable for complicated web apps or when you want to easily create websites that require data acquisition or data exchange. The API can also be easily connected. It is suitable when you want to make advanced things easily.

5. Carrd

I think Carrd isn't familiar to Japanese people yet.
It's a builder that creates one page at a time like a card.
There is also a free plan, which is very suitable for the purpose of creating and displaying information. It's a mechanism that only creates within one page.
The disadvantage is that with a paid plan, you can create your own domain, but if you try to increase the number of pages, it is a style where you are charged according to the number of pages, and it can be said that it is not suitable for those with a large number of pages.
Detailed settings can also be made for design corrections, and it's actually a highly recommended tool for simple, one-page information.

Today, I've introduced a tool that allows you to create a website even if you're not a pro.
A website is a collection of pictures and text. There is a text summarizing the information to be sent, about what you want to say, and arranging photos associated with it. This process is the most important part of creating a website.
When trying to create a website, first of all, there are people who place importance on design things, such as having such effects and moving like this, but in fact, this is not the case; there is just text and photo information, and don't forget that the most important thing is how to attract them and how to lead to purchases.
All of the tools we've recommended this time are easy to use, but you can start by organizing the information you want to send, and then consider which tools and services are suitable.
