It's a useful little app dedicated to complete beginners. If you're familiar with Office type of software you'll have no problem getting a webpage live in a couple of minutes.
No coding or web skills required. Just drag and drop, add some images, insert text, adjust theme settings, click publish and you get a nice link to share with your audience.
It will not win any design awards but you can create decent looking personal, portfolio, startup, event, course websites and landing pages.
Pros
- Completely FREE with hosting included
- Works with custom domain names
- Intuitive and easy to use interface
Cons
- Few ready-made templates to choose from
- Limited design customization options
- No advanced functionalities
You can integrate it with some of Google's Apps and other services that open in their own dedicated interfaces from a link. Great for early stages of your projects.
I've made a couple of free video tutorials covering complete builds from scratch on my website https://tutoriac.com
Let me know if it's something you'd consider using.
Thank you.

@oxana_ivanova Thank you for the positive feedback Oxana. I'll be adding more in time. Next one is for an ebook landing page
don't know if it works but it seems intriguing enough to try.
@thefidelavedano It all depends on the expectations. For basic projects it's worth trying. Especially if the user doesn't have experience with design software. It has few options which create less confusion. So you can focus on getting the work done
