Building a website from scratch requires web programming knowledge, but it doesn’t have to be that way as you can use a website builder which will do the hard work for you.

A website builder is a web software which allows you to build your website with ready made templates, with as little or no knowledge in web programming, html or other web programming languages at all.

Since most websites look the same now days and there is very little innovation on the internet, it’s not necessarily the look of the website that counts, it’s the website content that counts. This is why it’s better to save yourself the time it takes to learn how to build your website and instead put your effort in the content, you can always upgrade your website’s look at a later stage.

There are many advantages to using a website builder:

• Major time saver – no need to learn web programming, no need to do research on what to use, where to use, how it needs to look – you have a ready made website within a few minutes.
• Focus on what’s important – if Content is king than the layout is its loyal servant. No need to let the servant rule.
• Save money – you can build a good looking website for a very low cost not having to waste time which translates to money eventually on doing it on your own.
• Good looking website – You choose how your website will look and you have good looking templates to choose from. There’s no way your website will be unattractive.

The bottom line, if you don’t have the knowledge or someone to do it for you, it’s better to use a website builder to do the dirty work for you, the result will be better, faster and people won’t know the difference. This way you will have the time to write the content and develop your online empire.
