Joomla, Drupal and WordPress, oh my!
These words might mean something to you, but they mean absolutely nothing to the tech-deaf layperson. Make room for WebNode, a quick and dirty way to build a Website or blog, relatively painlessly.
For folks who can’t be bothered with downloads and uploads, WebNode allows you to build a feature-rich Website using drag-and-drop functionality. After a free registration, users choose from several dozen customizable templates, and round out their online destination with series of gadgets and widgets.
I realize that most readers of this blog are far too sophisto for this type of site builder. However, if you’re like me, and often looking to get people off your back who want you to build them a blog, here’s your out. Using WebNode, even a third grader can accept Paypal payments and create an RSS feed.
Webmail, domain forwarding and basic statistics are among the add ons.

I’ve been using wordpress for a long time now until I switched to joomla. I would also give Webnode a try, is there any video tutorial using this one?Would highly appreciate that, thanks a lot!

I had worked with Joomla, but when building a webshop for a friend of mine, it throws out your test whenever you reach a certain amount of product photo uploads. This is very annoying as the backup is made into a Linux file which is a pain in the butt to open. So essentially one would be royally screwed. Joomla is NOT a very good place to be honest.

I have been using pagebuzz.com which I think is the easiest site builder. I tried wordpress but it is too limited and really not designed for e-commerce. I will look into webnode but most of the things I have seen for us dummies really fall short on features.

I found an easy and user oriented website builder called Mi Imagen Online, check out at http://www.miimagenonline.com
They offer domain, hosting, non-limited space, an online web Editor, no installation or configuration, best practices oriented, and many other features like WebNode, however, it seems more easy to use.
Is just another option !

Webnode is great — however the problem is all content are stored on their server, is there some way I can download back all files to my own PC for backup purpose?
Personally I used Dreamweaver for HTML, or A4Desk for building flash websites. This way all files are stored on my own PC, and I can upload the files to my own web host (or my client’s web host) account.
I have tried WordPress and other CMS software, but in order to support them on client’s server, I often have to install for them the entire WordPress system first, which sometimes take longer time than building the website.

Why would you have Dreamweaver and then an additional program for flash websites when you can make any type of website with Adobe’s software which, I may add is the industry’s standard? That wouldn’t make any sense.
anyway I get the feeling that this post was meant for non advanced users. Dreamweaver demands an advanced user with in depth skill and knowledge of HTML and (preferably) CSS as well as Java as itis required to be able to implement flash into your script. I don’t see any reason for someone with yoru advanced skills to even try WordPress or anything the likes of it

Hello. After reading this post, I tried to build my own website, by using WebNode. Sadly, it was a bit difficult to use.
I then searched the web for another website builder and found this one.
It is much more easier to use and also offers more features than WebNode. It’s an 4 easy steps DIY website. I recommend it to anyone who wants to build their own website in a matter of minutes.

Webnode is good.No doubt.But if you want power and you want to build more complex websites : try this http://www.indigloo.com

I agree with Karl. Webnode is not that great. There are install problems and the templates look very simple. This really belongs to the MySpace set. If you want to really do a business site and go pro, I do think you go with WordPress or even what Google has to offer. By the way, I’ve heard about Weebly, which I hear is good too.

Viviti.com is my fav builder. It is simple, but at the same time offers tons of flexibility. Webnode is just Ok. Didn’t really do it for me though.

I’ve read a lot of website builder reviews, but I’ve never heard of Webnode. If this program is free and aimed to bloggers, what’s the advantage of webnode over sites like blogger?

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated.

Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your theme. Many thanks

Hello there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Cheers!

My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content in your case? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome blog!

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say you’ve done a excellent job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thank you!

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Along with almost everything which seems to be developing within this specific subject matter, all your viewpoints are actually fairly exciting. However, I appologize, but I do not subscribe to your whole suggestion, all be it refreshing none the less. It would seem to everyone that your commentary are actually not completely rationalized and in simple fact you are your self not really totally convinced of your point. In any case I did appreciate looking at it.
