WordPress
WordPress.com is a powerful and flexible website builder that requires a bit of a learning curve, BUT it’s worth learning if your website is a big part of your business strategy. It’s best for sites with loads of content, especially if you’re willing to upgrade to one of its top-tier plans.
Network Solutions Website Builder
Network Solutions offers a beginner-friendly website builder with tools for e-commerce, appointments, and marketing. It’s ideal for small businesses and first-time users who want a fast, functional site. While it lacks SEO tools and third-party integrations, it’s one of the simplest platforms I’ve tested for getting online quickly.
Zyro
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Zyro has been discontinued as of December 2023. It is now fully integrated into the Hostinger Website Builder. Hostinger's platform retains all of Zyro's core features – including AI tools, templates, and e-commerce capabilities – while offering additional functionalities at a lower cost. For a comprehensive look at this evolved platform, including former...
Divi

QuickBooks Payments
QuickBooks Payments is great for existing QuickBooks users with instant payouts, multiple payment methods, a mobile app, PCI compliance, and support for in-person and online payments. That said, its fees are slightly higher than those of a standard credit card processor. If you’re looking for more affordable options, check out our leading payment processors.
Braintree Payments
Braintree Payments is a payment solution that offers credit card processing and payment gateway services to online businesses. It offers multiple e-commerce integrations, supports over 130 currencies, and accepts several payment methods. However, it has a poor track record, and its fees add up quickly. Our top payment processor, Leaders Merchant Services, is a more...
