Sure, all free plans have some limitations, but I found that some give you enough freedom to build a unique site. I took the time to build a full site with each builder on this list, to see what exactly they would and wouldn’t let me do on the free plan. That’s why I decided to test some of the major website builders out there, to find out which ones will actually let you build a functional site for free. Most times, you start building your site only to discover, after you’ve already invested the work, that the free plan is way too limited to actually use. Many website builders offer free plans, but sometimes “free” isn’t what it seems.
