Creating your first website can be an intimidating thought especially if you are new to the online business world. And, of course, you know that having a website is a critical component to the success of your website and the future your business.

If you use a website builder, instead of design software it can make the website process fast and easy to handle. If you are considering your options, there are a many reasons why you should consider using a site builder.

Below I listed several reasons:

1 Using a site builder can save you money in the beginning. Design software can cost $200 or more. While many website builders will cost less than $20 per month, and that will rountinely include your hosting. And, because your website builder and web host are the same, you can publish your site by simply clicking a button.

Keep in mind, that you may save money in the beginning but the long-term fees for this service will end up costing you more than buying the web design software. After you have built your site, if you decide to keep it up on the web for the long term, you may want to invest in different software and buy your own hosting plan. You can find hosting plans as cheap $4 per month and less.

2. The benefit of website builders is that they are designed to be easy to use. They will feature a "what you see is what you get" editor (known as WYSIWYG). This feature lets you to see precisely what your website will look like while you create it. You don't need to be a programer geek to use it. You will not need to know HTML at all. When you look at the editor, you will see a screen just like a word processing screen. You just type away and are able to apply text formatting, insert pictures, and much more. What you see on your screen is what your website visitors will see when they pull your website up into their browser.

3. Most website builders are loaded with numerous templates and graphics that you can use. While web design software programs will usually have some templates or themes installed, they do not usually come packaged with any graphics. If you want to include pictures on your website, you can use stock images found online. Some the templates are really gorgeous and high quality.

If you plan on using lots of graphics, using a website builder will probably save you lots of money with stock images. What is a stock image? A stock image is an image that has been submitted to a website by the photographer or illustrator who created the image. There are some very affordable stock image websites, however there many expensive ones.

4. The monthly fee you pay for your website builder will include your web hosting service. It also, in most cases, includes other features, like message boards, online photo albums, shopping carts and more.

5. Website builders will also include some sort of technical support. This may include phone and email support, or just one of the two. Either option, it will be much easier and helpful rather than calling Microsoft for assistance with FrontPage.
