Create beautiful websites and blogs easily

Squarespace is as good as it gets. Super fast, everything looks pretty, good for mobile, and nice enough analytics tools to get you up and running.

Build a fully functional web app without any code

If you want your website to validate your idea (like an MVP or the actual product), you can create very complex ideas with a 2 to 5-hour learning curve. Now, if you want the simplest option to just showcase something, I'd go with Squarespace. And if you want the most flexibility in terms of design, Webflow is what you want.

It's not the most advanced tool, but it's free and easy to setup and learn. It also has a large community, so you'll find a lot of themes and plugins.

If you're less focused on content management, and more on templating and building a basic 'drag and drop' site, then Wix could be a good option.

I would recommend Duda as the easiest website builder. I've used Wordpress and then Squarespace. Wordpress allows you to add plugins but makes your website slow. Squarespace is like iOS, beautiful and simple but you can't touch any code line (almost). Makes me a bit unsatisfied.. Finally, I tried Duda which is very simple to handle, and most of all.. is FAST! They have pretty good ideas, and building a website with their system is way easier than other products. I've monitored speed tests and my website is 50% faster compare to Squarespace :) Google recommends it as well.

Carrd

Simple, responsive, one-page sites for pretty much anything.

I've been a big fan of Carrd since seeing it on Ask PH. Their platform is dead simple to use, the templates are beautiful, and you can attach your own domain. It's something you should consider depending on the complexity of the site you're trying to build.
