Mobirise

Mobirise is a free website builder that uses AI to try to make it easier and faster to create a professional-looking site. It's a no-code tool that lets you get started with a text prompt, and it's designed for personal and commercial use so it should be useful for a broad audience.

Among its features are drag-and-drop tools, prebuilt blocks for common website elements, and a text editor to customize content. You can publish websites to your own hosting, for free on *.mobirisesite.com, or to a custom domain. You're in full control of your site, with the ability to save it locally and publish it.

Mobirise has more than 10,000 prebuilt website templates and blocks, so you should be able to find something that works for your field and style. The Smart Cart extension adds e-commerce abilities, with integration with PayPal and Stripe. Social media extensions let you add Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube feeds to your site.

Mobirise sites are designed to work on phones, but you can also optimize them for search engines. If you want more control, you can use the Code Editor extension to hand-edit the HTML/CSS or to import plugins.

Other features include galleries, image sliders, shop blocks, popup builders, form builders and a Bootstrap builder. You can also create a mobile version of the site, which can improve your Google search placement.

Mobirise is free to download and use, which makes it a good option for people who want to build a website without paying for the privilege. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Although Mobirise is geared for people with no coding experience, it's also got a way to get more control with its Code Editor extension. That's likely to please developers who want to be able to control their website's innards.

With its interface and features, Mobirise hopes to make it possible for anyone to build a website, regardless of their technical abilities.
