Online Website Builders

One of our class progects was to make a group website.  There are many sites out there that you could use to make your website and it basically comes down to personal choice.  Some of the website builders we used was weeblys.com and wix.com.  I had used weeblys in the past and thought before we even approached the site that this is what I would want to use.  After experimenting a little bit with wix, I realized that I wanted to go with that.  The reason why I did this was becasue It felt alot more user friendly and had a really nice finishing touch to it.  To me the site looked visually appealing and also and had a lot of cool tools that you could use to make your site.  Our group website is called "Get your Drip" and we designed it with wix.  It a website that showcases places to go to get coffee in different neighborhoods in Bellingham, WA.  We all decided as a group that we should use wix so there wasn't too much of a problem with that decision.  We were all able to work on the site from seperate locations and each page jived with the rest of the site. 

Here are some useful links to use when deciding to use an online website builder:

All in all I think there are many great sources that one could use for bulding a website online and you could always watch a tutorial on each one or even go to the ite and playa round with it before jumping into the first website builder you know of.
