If you're thinking about creating a free website for your business, today you have many simple and quick options to do it yourself. Below are some popular platforms you can use immediately, without technical knowledge.
1. Use platforms that offer free websites
Here are some well-known solutions:
WordPress.com
perfect for blogs and informational websites
The world's most popular platform for creating websites. Simple to start with and very flexible.
Wix.com
create websites with "drag & drop", very intuitive
Perfect for those who want complete visual control. Just drag and drop elements where you want them.
Google Sites
simple and integrated with your Google account
The simplest solution if you have a Google account. Ideal for simple websites and presentations.
Tip: On these platforms you can choose a template, add text, photos and give your website a basic appearance. They are good solutions to start without cost.
2. Try creating your website with artificial intelligence
Automatic Creation with AI
Some new tools, like Wix ADI or Durable.co, offer the possibility to create websites with artificial intelligence. Just write a few words about your business and the system automatically creates a functional website.
Caution: These websites often look the same as others and don't fully reflect your brand's style.
3. Watch out for limitations
Free websites usually have:
- Platform advertising at the bottom of the page that you can't remove
- Non-personalized address (e.g. yourname.wordpress.com)
- Limitations on space, design and speed of the website
- Limited SEO options and optimization for Google
- Limited technical support when you have problems
Consider this: If your website needs to represent a business, these limitations can affect your professional image.

- looks unique and perfectly matches your business identity
