It’s really not an easy task to find a decent blogging platform for your blogs. So, how can we decide which platform is great for creating our blogs? Well, it completely depends on what kind of content we want to share on our websites and how complex functionality we want to add to them. Well, there are some outstanding blogging platforms that can be used by various content creators for a variety of content. So without wasting much more time let’s take a look at the blogging platforms we can use this year.
Weebly
Weebly a fantastic blogging platform and is quite easier than Wix to use. It even works similar to Wix. The only difference between both platforms is that Weebly offers you fewer features than Wix. Weebly features drag-and-drop components that help you create a website very easily. Additionally, it includes a variety of customizable layouts, several sharing features, a bunch of free themes, and a few other stuff. It’s also available for free to use, but Weebly offers a premium version too that will cost you between $5 and $25 per month based on what plan you are taking.
Wix is an excellent free blogging platform for beginners. The platform provides you with a variety of free templates, a straightforward user interface, 500MB of storage, 1GB of bandwidth, and a few other stuff. The website is available for free to use, but it contains ads that you can remove by taking its subscription plan that will cost you between $3.54 and $23 per month.
WordPress.org
WordPress.org is another fantastic blogging platform that provides you with various customizable options, multiple templates, a decent interface, and several powerful tools to make your blog attractive. You may face a bit of difficulty while using the website in the beginning, but after spending some time on it, using WordPress.org will be a piece of cake for you.
Both WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different platforms, so don’t get confused. WordPress.com offers you a variety of templates, a free branded domain name, 3GB of storage, multiple customization options, and many more. The platform is entirely available for free with ads. It’s even very easy to use.
Joomla
Joomla is another free blogging platform that provides you with a variety of customization features and tools. You can use this website to create any kind of website or blog, but you will have to spend some time as well as effort in order to learn how the platform works. Additionally, the website includes several themes, multiple templates, a domain name, and hosting. Well, you will have to pay some amount for the domain name. Otherwise, Joomla is open source.
Strikingly is another very easy, but quite powerful blogging website that provides you with a variety of features, including various templates, multiple themes, unlimited sites for free, up to 5GB monthly bandwidth, and many other things. It even includes dummy text, an option for tweaking, various social media tools, a comments section, analytics, a domain name, and a pretty decent search bar. It offers you only one-page sites. The platform is available for free to use, but it includes ads. You can remove ads, but for this, you will have to buy its premium subscription that will cost you between $8 and $49 per month.
Despite all the above-mentioned blogging platforms, we have some other options as well, including
