Website builder - Defeat - 04-02-2022

What's your favourite website builder?

I'm looking at WordPress, but I'd like to get some suggestions. I'm just making a simple website, specifically a portfolio.

Moved from The Lounge forum to Web Design.

I've tried WordPress a number of times, but didn't like Its design and application. I prefer the Blogger platform, for the reason that It's very easy to edit/customize via the template using CSS and HTML.

I found a website builder that's new and coming but they don't offer email hosting services. I did notice all your blogs use Blogger. Since it's Google, does it come with Gmail access and is it free?

I'd like a free website builder with email hosting if that's out there.

Oh man it's been so many years since I've used it. I can't recall if they host emails, I'll have to check.

Yes, Gmail access and totally free without ads. HTTPS Is also supplied free of charge.

As you can see, the blog In my signature Is heavily edited - I did It using CSS & HTML. That's the good thing about Blogger, It allows you to customize It to your needs.

That's awesome, I thought Gmail charged for custom email addresses.
It'd be nice to have the domain/website/email hosting all in 1, right now I have them at 3 different locations.

You can create as many blogs as you like on the one account, without paying a single dime.

It makes It very easy to manage.

Sounds like a cool project you're working on! I recommend that you use WordPress because of its wide range of applicability. You could build anything with it, especially a small portfolio or personal website. You could also buy the Elementor page builder to help you create and easily manage your pages. I've used it on a rather large project last month and it worked quite well for my needs.

Hope this helps!

@"Canadian Moose", If you decide on the Blogger platform and need help with adding a custom domain, editing the blog to your needs etc, just let me know.
