Visit: Homestead
Here's another robust site builder that's full of features. The 30-day free trial allows you to really dig in and and learn the system before you commit to it which is nice because there's a $20 set-up fee should you choose to activate your account.
If you're interested in a very basic, no frills site Homestead's online site builder may be the way to go. If you're interested in a more robust site with features other than simple text and pictures, you can download special software to build those elements of your site.
We especially like the huge number of templates that are available. It's important to note that although most of them are free, there is a charge of up to $99.99 to use some of them.
The feature that really scored high with us is their attention to customer support. Within minutes of signing up for our free trial, a customer support technician called us just to check in and see if we were doing OK with the system. Attentive tech support goes a long way when it comes to putting up a web site. They also offer an online training class.
