Tools to Build A Website With No Technical Skills

A couple of years ago I run a survey to know more about my readers, and I was surprised to find that around 15% of them didn’t have a blog or website yet. They said they wanted to build one, but didn’t have any technical skills, so they were afraid to get web hosting, install WordPress and so on.

If you are in this situation, or if you know someone who is (e.g., a parent or a friend), there are tools one can use to build a website today that require no technical skill whatsoever. Below you’ll find 3 of them.

1. IM Creator

If you are looking for a complete website, with several pages and what not, then you can try IM Creator. It features a Drag & Drop editor you can use to build the elements of your web pages, and it also comes with templates ready to be used and customized. The basic plan is free, and you can use your own domain name, so visitors won’t even know what tool you used to create the website.

2. About.me

If you just need a website to showcase yourself (i.e., as a consultant or professional in some area),

then About.me can do the trick. It allows you to create a simple page with your background information, links to your social media accounts, and email address where people can contact you. You can customize the colors, the background image and so on.

3. Wix

Wix is another option is are looking to build a full-fledged website. It’s similar to IM Creator, in the sense that it offers you a visual editor where you can move and customize things around, until the web pages look like what you want. The basic version is free and there are premium plans if you are looking for more advanced features.
