Probably, it is strange to see a post of this kind on Habré, since here every second person can make a website without any constructors. But it so happens that there is not much time, and a landing page or an online store, albeit a simple one, is needed yesterday.
That's when the designers come to the rescue. By the way, there are quite a few of them, but in this post we will not consider Ucoz and others like them - everyone already knows about them. I got the task of finding several website builders that are suitable for business, so I also evaluated them. In general, if someone has a similar goal, to find a constructor for their company, then welsh under cat.
Ukit
Ucoz and Ukit are of course related, but their capabilities are different. Ukit, in my opinion, is easier to learn, it is great for entrepreneurs, freelancers, developers of simple client sites, and self-employed. With its help, without any problems, you can develop a business card site, landing page, portfolio, small online store.
At the heart of everything is a visual editor, which makes it possible to assemble pages with the necessary elements from ready-made blocks and widgets. Each block can be further edited, in-depth development knowledge is not required. This constructor allows you to create a ready-made, albeit not very complex, site within 30 minutes.
pros
- A very simple constructor, suitable for everyone.
- The website can be customized using widgets and blocks.
- There is integration with such services as amoCRM, SendPulse, social networks, mailing lists, online chat and others.
- It is possible to optimize the speed of loading pages, interactive tips, built-in aggregator of site statistics.
- Not a bad support.
- Not a very high price, plus the opportunity to evaluate the constructor within 2 weeks.
Minuses
- Most of the Ukit sites are somewhat similar in structure to each other. There is nothing wrong with that, but still ...
Cost: Price from $ 4 per month to $ 12. Packages differ from each other in the ability to access advanced statistics, templates, baskets, online store settings, etc.
Wix
This is one of the most popular construction sets in the world. Ideal for creating relatively uncomplicated sites, including landing pages, portfolios, business card sites. In addition, it should be used to quickly deploy high-quality small online stores.
Wix has a nice feature - the ability to add your own JavaScript code to the Wix site and work with APIs to add custom functionality and interactions to the site. For this it is true, this is not coding, but rather scripting. As in the previous case, the constructor has many templates. As a result, you can create a service for finding and selling air tickets, booking rooms, selling music, etc. Pages can be customized quite deeply.

A good constructor for developing business card websites, plus landing pages and stores. The ecosystem of the product is quite extensive, there are additional services that expand the functionality of the final product. As a rule, these services are paid, it can be adding SMS notifications, setting up contextual advertising, positioning on social networks, etc.
Nethouse has a visual editor that many users might like.
The final product can be integrated with Google / Yandex, amoCRM, Travelpayouts and a number of other services. The developers have also added mobile applications for website management.
