If social networks are not enough and you think the available microblogging options limit you too much, the best way to express yourself is creating your own website. The downside is that it demands a bit of extra time and effort, but the upside is that there are many free tools out there, so simple that you don't need to know a single line of code. Today we will look at ten of the most recognized options.
Do you want to know how to create a website? Don't worry. The first thing you need is a little willingness. Although there are different mechanisms that allow increasing the complexity of a website, the truth is that nothing forces you to go down that path. The Web has dozens of environments specially prepared to simplify the creation process, and the best part is that most of them do not cost a single cent.

When those rules clash with your personal interests, the social network leaves no room for negotiation: Accept the terms of use, or leave. Well... let's say that with these ten platforms at our disposal, the second option is more attractive than ever.
Weebly
Weebly has been with us for almost fourteen years, however, age has not affected its popularity in any way. The platform offers hundreds of different themes, and its drag and drop mechanism reduces page creation to a simple and instinctive process. The basic account has no cost, but with just four dollars a month, the possibilities multiply.
Wix
If there is a direct competitor to Weebly, it is undoubtedly Wix. Its designs have nothing to envy the competition, and it was one of the first platforms to adopt HTML5, so its operation should be guaranteed in almost any browser. Premium options start at four dollars per month... if you are interested.
Joomla
Another true classic of the Web, Joomla has partially abandoned its strict technical profile to adapt to new times and fight head-to-head with Wix, Weebly and others. If you want to play it safe, you cannot go wrong with Joomla. Go to its portal, create an account, choose a design (a plus point is that it offers demos of them), and enjoy.
Webs
The story behind the Webs platform is even older. It took its first steps in 2001, immediately after the dot-com bubble, and after all these years it remains positioned as a flexible and very easy to use alternative. Free accounts on Webs are funded with advertising, but if you want to remove it, its prices are quite affordable.
Yola
Yola is a bit closer in time than the rest, but its basic idea is the same: Create a site without programming knowledge, with pure drag and drop. Yola also offers components for e-commerce, and if the user wishes, it can take care of registering a custom domain, to give our page a much more professional touch.
Jimdo
Following the pattern, our next stop could not be other than Jimdo. Developed in Germany, this platform has been online for eight years, and serves as home to more than fifteen million sites. Some of its designs are really attractive, and in most cases they come with an impeccable mobile version.
Medium
Medium has several differences with the rest of the services mentioned so far, but the most important is that its profile resembles a blog, not so much a page builder. Born in 2012, Medium is the new project of one of Twitter's founders, Evan Williams, so it is possible to see it as a middle ground between Twitter and a complete website.
Edublogs
If the content you plan to publish is related to education, then the Edublogs portal is exactly what you are looking for. As with Medium, Edublogs is more blog than page creator, but its aesthetics are outstanding, backed by a healthy number of themes, and with more than three million blogs under its wing, the available material is very ample.
Squarespace
Squarespace comes to us with a much more professional vision, to the point that it does not offer a free account. If the plan is to promote a product, a music band, photo portfolios or even a restaurant menu, Squarespace becomes an option to take seriously... as long as there is willingness to pay some dollars per month.
WordPress
Yes, the most obvious for last. WordPress is the number one in the market, and the reasons multiply every second. From small personal pages to portals with millions of monthly hits, including NeoTeo itself and other colleague sites, WordPress is practically everywhere.
I hope that some of these services adapt to your needs. Good luck!
