Best Website Builders in 2026

Wix was founded in 2006 by Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami and Giora Kaplan, is headquartered in Tel Aviv and has been listed on the NASDAQ since 6 November 2013. Its company page states that Wix passed 300 million users worldwide in 2026. In W3Techs' content-management survey of 13 November 2026, Wix powers 4.2% of all websites, a 6.2% share of sites with a known CMS, the largest of any dedicated website builder and second only to WordPress and Shopify overall.

Wix offers a drag-and-drop editor with templates, built-in hosting and a permanent free plan, which places a Wix-branded subdomain on the site. Paid plans in November 2026 were named Light, Core, Business and Business Elite; Core and above accept online payments, with ecommerce capability rising from basic on Core to advanced on Business Elite. The plans page states that displayed prices are for yearly subscriptions paid in full and that prices and currency vary by location; a 14-day full refund applies to the initial upgrade to a premium plan.

Wix's breadth is its main strength: the same account covers a free site, payments and tiered ecommerce, which lets small businesses grow without changing platform. Its main limitations are that, like most builders, it does not export sites to other platforms, that payments start only at the Core plan, and the price displayed during this review was localised in a form that could not be reliably converted to US dollars.

Squarespace was founded in 2003 in a University of Maryland dorm room by its founder, named on the page as Anthony, and lists its first office at 8 Clarkson Street, New York; its company page reports a team of more than 1,760 people and says millions of websites have been created on the platform. W3Techs measures Squarespace at 2.4% of all websites in November 2026, the second-largest dedicated website builder.

There is no free plan; every site starts with a 14-day free trial without a credit card. Three plans were offered in November 2026: Basic at US$12–19 per month, Core at US$17–27 and Advanced at US$25–36, the lower figure in each case reflecting annual billing, which the page says saves up to 36%. All paid plans can sell products or services. Basic charges a 2% transaction fee on store sales and Core and Advanced 0%; digital content and memberships carry fees of 7% on Basic, 5% on Core and 0% on Advanced.

Squarespace is known for polished templates and tight control over design consistency, which suits photographers, creative businesses, restaurants and service firms. The trade-offs are a more constrained editor than Wix or Webflow, fewer third-party extensions, and transaction fees on the entry plan.

Tilda is a website builder published by Tilda Publishing, built around a library of pre-designed content blocks that users stack and customise. W3Techs measures Tilda at 0.8% of all websites in November 2026, level with Webflow and ahead of every other dedicated builder except Wix and Squarespace.

Tilda's pricing in November 2026 included a Free plan with one website; Personal at $10 per month with annual payment or $15 month to month, for one website; and Business at $20 per month with annual payment or $25 month to month, for five websites. The pricing page states that Personal and Business include the features needed for an online store and that the Business plan adds code export, producing a static HTML version of the site. Removing the 'Made on Tilda' label requires an annual paid subscription, and if a subscription lapses the site is unpublished but data is kept for six months.

Tilda's block library and Zero Block freeform editor make it well suited to landing pages, long-read editorial pages and small brochure sites. Its main weaknesses are a smaller ecosystem of integrations than Wix or Squarespace, a page that does not name the currency code of its prices, and limited public company information.

Webflow is a visual web development platform that combines a design interface with a CMS and managed hosting. W3Techs measures Webflow at 0.8% of all websites in November 2026, and also lists it among hosting providers at 0.8%.

Webflow sells separate Site plans for individual sites and Workspace plans for teams, and offers ecommerce plans for online stores. Its pricing page could not be retrieved by the tools used for this review, so prices are not given here.

Webflow is positioned for designers and teams who want more control over layout than template-based builders allow, and its usage share is level with Tilda's and second only to Wix and Squarespace among dedicated builders. Because its pricing could not be verified, buyers should check how site and workspace fees combine before committing; the product's feature set was likewise not verified on the vendor's own pages for this review. Like other hosted builders, Webflow sites run on the vendor's infrastructure, so moving away later requires rebuilding or exporting what the platform allows.

Duda is a website builder sold primarily to agencies, SaaS companies and professionals who build and manage sites for clients. Its about page reports that more than 14 million sites have been built on the platform and more than 450,000 businesses use it, with offices in Tel Aviv, Louisville, London and Florianópolis. W3Techs measures Duda at 0.7% of all websites in November 2026.

Duda's plans in November 2026, priced in US dollars per account, were Basic at $19–25 per month for one site, Team at $29–39 per month for one site, Agency at $52–69 per month for four sites and White Label at $149–199 per month for four sites, with the lower figure reflecting upfront annual billing (marked 25% off). A Custom tier is available for businesses managing sites at scale. A 14-day free trial without a credit card gives access to White Label features, and a 30-day money-back guarantee applies to eligible plans.

Duda's agency orientation shows in client management, permission controls and the White Label plan, which lets resellers present the builder under their own brand. For a business building only its own site, the per-site economics and agency-focused interface make it a less obvious choice than consumer builders.

GoDaddy Website Builder is the site-building product of GoDaddy, whose investor relations site describes more than 20 million entrepreneurs as customers and more than 80 million domain names under its care. W3Techs measures GoDaddy Website Builder at 0.6% of all websites in November 2026.

The builder is part of GoDaddy's small-business suite, sold alongside its domains, email and hosting products in a single account. GoDaddy is also a major host in its own right: W3Techs attributes 2.4% of all websites to the GoDaddy Group as hosting provider, a figure that includes sites built with this builder as well as those on its shared and WordPress hosting.{R(8)} The company is publicly reported and published its third-quarter 2026 results on 29 October 2026.{R(11)} Its 0.6% share as a builder places it sixth among dedicated website builders in W3Techs' survey, behind Duda and ahead of Weebly and Jimdo.{R(W3)}

GoDaddy's website builder pages blocked automated access during this review, so plan names, prices and terms are not given here. Its main appeal is convenience for existing GoDaddy customers; buyers should compare its plan contents against Wix and Squarespace directly.

Lovable is an AI-based builder that creates websites and web applications from natural-language prompts, then hosts them. In W3Techs' November 2026 survey it already accounts for 0.4% of all websites, level with Weebly, a notable figure for a prompt-based tool.

Lovable prices usage in credits. Its documentation in November 2026 described a Free plan with five daily build credits (capped at 30 per month) plus small monthly cloud and AI grants and no custom domains; Pro from $25 per month for 100 credits, or $250 per year; and Business from $50 per month for 100 credits, or $500 per year, with both paid plans scaling up to 10,000 credits per month and including custom domains. Annual billing gives two months free compared with monthly billing, and Enterprise plans are set by contract.

Lovable differs from traditional builders in that the output is code generated by an AI model, which can include application logic and databases, not only page layouts. That flexibility comes with less predictable costs, since complex changes consume more credits, and with the need to review generated code for correctness and security on anything handling user data.

Weebly is a drag-and-drop website builder associated with Square; its pricing page carries a Square, Inc. copyright and integrates Square features such as gift cards. W3Techs measures Weebly at 0.4% of all websites in November 2026.

Weebly's pricing page in November 2026 listed a Free plan for basic use; Personal at $13 per month billed annually or $16 month to month, which connects a custom domain; Professional at $15 annually or $20 monthly; and Performance at $32 annually or $36 monthly. Ecommerce features listed on the page include a shopping cart, unlimited items, inventory management, in-store pickup, an automatic tax calculator, coupons, shipping labels, PayPal payments and abandoned-cart emails, although the page did not make clear which tier includes each.

Weebly is a straightforward choice for small sites and shops that already use Square's point-of-sale system. Weebly's pricing page still shows a 2019 copyright line, and the page's comparison table does not make clear which features belong to which tier, so buyers should confirm plan contents before purchase.{R(13)}

Jimdo describes itself as 'made in Germany since 2007' and cites more than 32 million Jimdo websites. W3Techs measures Jimdo at 0.3% of all websites in November 2026.

Jimdo offers a permanent Free plan with no credit card required that includes a website, bookings and payments, and paid plans named Start, Grow, Complete and Unlimited that add a custom domain, invoices and an online shop. Subscriptions run on monthly, 12-month or 24-month terms, with lower monthly rates on longer terms, and renew automatically at the regular price after the first term; the first domain is free for the first term and then €26 per year. Jimdo states that it charges 0% commission on sales, bookings and payment links, though card processing fees apply through JimdoPay.

The pricing page did not render plan amounts during this review, so prices are not given. Jimdo suits sole traders and small service businesses that want bookings, invoices and payments in one simple tool; its templates and editor are less flexible than those of Wix or Squarespace.

Framer sells a website builder with a canvas-style editor, CMS and hosting. W3Techs measures Framer at 0.2% of all websites in November 2026.

Framer's pricing page in November 2026 listed a Free plan with a Framer subdomain, 1 GB of bandwidth and AI credits; Basic at $10 per month with 30 pages, two CMS collections, 1,000 CMS items, 50 GB of bandwidth and a custom domain; and Pro at $30 per month with 150 pages, ten CMS collections, 2,500 CMS items and 100 GB of bandwidth, each expandable with paid add-ons; Enterprise is priced on request. The page states that all prices are monthly and billed according to the cycle selected, and that a complimentary domain is included on yearly billing.

Framer's free plan supports up to three editors, and its add-on pricing lets sites grow without a plan change.{R(16)} It is aimed at marketing sites, portfolios and startup landing pages rather than online stores, and its page and CMS limits make it less suited to large content sites without add-ons.

Hostinger Website Builder is the drag-and-drop and AI builder of Hostinger, the Lithuanian host founded in 2004. W3Techs measures 'Hostinger Systems' at 0.2% of all websites in November 2026.

The builder is sold in the same bundles as Hostinger's hosting. In November 2026 Premium cost US$1.99 per month on a 48-month term (US$95.52 up front), renewing at US$10.99, for up to three websites; Unlimited cost US$2.79 (US$133.92), renewing at US$16.99, for unlimited sites with ecommerce free for a year; and Cloud Startup US$7.99 (US$383.52), renewing at US$25.99. All include a free domain for a year, more than 900 templates, AI credits and an AI assistant for online stores, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Hostinger's builder offers the lowest effective entry cost on this list for a site with a custom domain, and the plans include hosting and mailboxes for the first year. The prices require a four-year prepayment, ecommerce is free only for the first year on the higher plans, and the builder has fewer advanced features than Wix or Squarespace.

MyWebsite is the website builder of IONOS, part of Germany's United Internet group; IONOS Group reported 6.63 million customers in 2025. W3Techs measures IONOS MyWebsite at 0.2% of all websites in November 2026.

MyWebsite Now is sold in website and online-store versions on one-year terms. In November 2026 the website versions cost US$6 per month for Starter (renewing at US$14), a promotional US$1 for Plus (renewing at US$20) and US$17 for Pro; the store versions cost US$6, US$1 and US$34 per month respectively, renewing at US$26 and US$32 for Starter and Plus. All plans include a free domain for the first year, a professional email address, AI website, text and image generators and a 30-day money-back guarantee; Plus adds online booking, an AI SEO assistant and 200 pages, and Pro removes page and storage limits.

MyWebsite suits small businesses that want email, domain and site from one European provider. The promotional pricing is steep at renewal, and the builder's design flexibility is closer to GoDaddy's section-based tool than to freeform builders.

Carrd builds simple, responsive one-page sites such as personal profiles, landing pages and link pages. W3Techs lists it below 0.1% of all websites in November 2026. A free account is available, and paid features are sold as annual 'Pro' plans.

Pro plans are billed per year in dollars. In November 2026 Pro Lite cost $9 per year for three sites without custom domains; Pro Standard $19 per year for ten sites with custom domains, forms and embeds; and Pro Plus $49 per year for 25 sites with advanced forms, with larger site allowances up to 1,000 sites at higher prices (for example $599 per year for 1,000 sites on Pro Standard). The page describes payment-enabled forms as a Pro feature, and a seven-day Pro trial requires no card.

Carrd's annual prices are far below other builders, which makes it a common choice for a single landing page or a portfolio. Its limitation is scope: sites are single pages, with no blog, CMS or online store beyond form-based payments.

Strikingly is a website builder focused on quick, mobile-friendly sites, many of them single-page. W3Techs lists it below 0.1% of all websites in November 2026. Its pricing page refers to unlimited free sites and allows users to revert to the free plan on cancellation.

Paid plans are priced in US dollars and shown per month on yearly billing: Limited at $8 per month for two sites, a custom domain and a single product with a 5% transaction fee; Pro at $16 per month for three sites, up to 300 products and a 2% fee; and VIP at $49 per month for five sites, up to 500 products and no transaction fee. Monthly and multi-year billing options are offered, but only the yearly-billed prices were displayed. Payment is accepted by card or PayPal.

Strikingly is easy to learn and suits small shops, events and personal brands. Its transaction fees on lower plans, low product limits and narrower template range make it less suitable for growing stores than Shopify, Wix or Squarespace.
