Remember when you needed thousands of dollars and a technology degree to build even a small quality website? Well those days are gone forever! Now you can create a professional looking website for less than $20 a month (or free!) with hosting included.

Don't believe me?

Then check out our list of the 22 best free and affordable website builders. We've ranked them based on editorial review, monthly US visitors (estimated by Compete), and Google page rank (a key factor in determining ranking in search results… the higher the number the better).

Keep in mind that most of the free services limit your website to five pages… and may require that you show someone else's ads. But no worries as you can always upgrade to a monthly fee that fits almost any budget (even ours!)… especially if you need more storage or other "bells and whistles" (e-commerce anyone?)

You'll be seriously amazed at the great looking website templates you can choose from plus how easy they are to customize. And did I mention… no technical degree required!

So start building your website… and see how easy it can be!
