Wix is probably one of the most user-friendly website builders, and is perfect for many different business owners. They have many templates for Music, Entertainment, Photography, Online Shop, Personal and many more. They display a lot of creativity with their template designs, they're always fresh, modern and you can get all of them for free.

For a free website builder, Wix has a lot to offer. Building your own website from scratch in a good website builder makes good sense, you wind up saving thousands of dollars that would otherwise be spent on hiring a web designer. Having an interactive website is a definite advantage when it comes to impressing your visitors and keeping them on your website longer. Most website builders only allow you to build static pages, but Wix let you to transition between web pages interactively. This in combination with visually impressive images can really set your website apart from others.

I'm pleasantly surprised that these websites are created by non-professional web designers, that is why Wix is a builder that you may want to test.
