Favorite Template Websites

#WebWednesday
My special talent is using template based web hosting servers. I've gotten rather proficient with them over the years! I'll share my Top 3.

Weebly
I've worked with Weebly websites for years. It is truly the easiest and most intuitive to use in my book.

• It offers enough variety of good-looking template designs to serve as the basis for any website I've created. 
• It's literally drag-and-drop convenient.
• You can quickly see a published, polished result.
• Some have noted Weebly's templates are more limited in what can be changed than Wix sites. (I haven't had a problem with the format.)
• Affordable. $20/year domain name + tiers of pro website options depending on your needs.

Wix
This service is very similar to Weebly.

• Searches comparing Weebly and Wix seem to feel Wix is easier to customize with a wider variety of templates.
• Searches also indicate the variety of options available in Wix can be a bit overwhelming for beginners. 
• It is a bit more expensive than Weebly.

Squarespace
This group bought Weebly yet maintains two separate design platforms - Weebly and Squarespace.

• I'm holding onto Weebly based editing for as long as humanly possible as it's simply so easy to use. 
• Squarespace templates are decent.
• Their editing platform is not as easy or intuitive to navigate but it can be figured out with some determination.
• I've noticed a recent price increase with Squarespace more expensive than Weebly.
