Wix.com Is a HTML5 website builder, which is used by about 37 million sites. It is a free to use service, but if you pay you get added bonuses. It is easy to use because, you dont need to know how to code as it uses predesigned templates. It is an online cloud hosted service that gets it's money through premium upgrades which gets you no ads, more bandwidth, more templates ect. They also offer apps and other things that add flair to their service.
Hayden high school library Is an example of the basic, free version of Wix webcreation service.
Weebly.com Is similar to Wix as they are both drag and drop, easy to use web based website builders. Weebly offers a site that is really easy to access and set up, you can set one up with a facebook account!. It is a widget based builder, similar to blogger, and Weebly will host your site or you can buy your own domain. The pricing is really low, the basic package is free and the highest package is only 8 dollars a month. You can set up a shop on your website which links to your pay pal if needed. Unlike Wix, Weebly offers unlimited storage for your site.
Goodlettsville Middle School Is an example of a Weebly site. It looks professional.
Dreamweaver Is a dipole of Weebly and Wix because you need to buy the package, which can be quite expensive at around $150. It is also very very customisable, if you are able to code. You should be proficiant at coding when using this package otherwise you could get stuck. It offers a far greater control on every aspect of your website. You need to obtain a webhosting service or your own server for the site to be live. Ultimatly Dreamweaver is the best if you have the knowledge and know how to use it to its fullest.
I couldn't find a library site for an example but a great many sites out there use dreamweaver, such as our own WebCT.
