Yes, you can! There are plenty of free website builders out there like WordPress.com. Just keep in mind that free plans usually come with some limitations—like ads on your site or fewer customization options. They’re fine for personal projects or testing ideas, but if you want a more polished, professional look, it’s worth investing in a paid plan from a reliable provider.
It really comes down to your style and what your site is about. A good rule of thumb is to keep things simple—pick clean, easy-to-read fonts and a color palette that suits your brand. Most website builders come with templates, so you can start with one you like and tweak it to make it your own.
Before you dive in, make sure you know why you’re building a website and who it’s for. You’ll also need a domain name, a website builder or platform, and hosting. Many providers offer bundles with everything included, which can make the whole process a lot easier and more cost-effective.
It depends on what you’re creating. A simple website can be up and running in a few hours—or even less. But if your site needs more pages, features, or custom content, it might take a few days to a couple of weeks. Tools like drag-and-drop editors, built-in templates, and AI content helpers can definitely speed things up.
Not at all! Most website builders are made for people with no coding experience. If you’re comfortable with basic tools, you’ll do just fine. That said, if you do know a bit of code, some platforms let you customize your site even more.
You can, but it’s not always simple—especially if your site is large or has a lot of custom features. It’s a good idea to pick a builder that suits your long-term needs from the beginning to avoid the hassle of switching later.
Most people start with builders like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress.com because they’re user-friendly and offer drag-and-drop tools with no coding required.
Yes, many website builders come with e-commerce features or allow you to add an online store. Some platforms like Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace are especially good for this.
Most modern website builders automatically make your site mobile-responsive, but it’s always good to preview and tweak the mobile version before publishing.
Not always. Some website builders include hosting as part of the package. However, if you use something like WordPress.org, you’ll need to buy hosting separately.
Yes! Most website builders let you use a custom domain (like www.eunorialconsulting.ca). Free plans might require you to use a subdomain, though (like yourbusiness.websitebuilder.com).
Basic SEO features are often built in—like page titles, meta descriptions, and image alt text. Some platforms also offer SEO tools or plugins to improve your site’s visibility.
Most builders offer customer support via live chat, email, or forums. Premium plans often include priority support or even dedicated account managers.
Your site may go offline or revert to a free version with limited features. It’s a good idea to back up your content in case you need to move to another platform.
Absolutely! You can log in at any time to update content, add pages, or redesign sections. Website builders make it easy to keep things fresh.
Reputable website builders handle most of the security for you—including SSL certificates, data protection, and software updates—so you don’t have to worry about the tech side.
