Your website, your way.
It's easy.

Establish and grow your brand online with a professional website. Web.com offers a variety of website and marketing solutions designed to help you reach your goals.


What Is Web.com?

Web.com is an online design agency that offers a website builder, professional website design services, web hosting, domains, and more. It essentially serves as a one-stop-shop for everything that you need to build a professional website, including a custom domain and email services.

Web.com’s website builder is designed to be approachable for first-time website builders, but we think that there are other builders better suited for this purpose. Its page editor can be difficult to work with and takes a while to customize. The platform also makes it hard for your website to be found unless you upgrade to a more expensive plan.

  2. Useful E-commerce and WordPress tools

Web.com Features and Tools

Every new Web.com website builder package includes one hour of one-on-one support with the company’s design experts. You also have the option to pay Web.com’s design team to build your website for you. The site will be designed to your specifications, and you can manage it using Web.com’s site editor once your site is launched.

How to Create a Website with Web.com

The process of creating a website with Web.com starts with choosing a template. The platform has more than 150 templates, all of which are mobile-responsive. They are organized by industry to make it easier to find a design that suits you. However, do note that you can’t change templates later, so choose carefully.

Web.com’s templates are fairly customizable. You can modify not only the color palette and fonts but also details like heading styles, link colors, and button formats. More options would be even better, but this level of control at least lets you customize your template without spending hours on it.

To customize your site’s content, Web.com offers a drag-and-drop website builder with two different styles of content elements. Features are individual elements, like text boxes, images, and buttons, that you can add anywhere on your site. Blocks are full-width page sections that come with pre-arranged features. You can add additional features to blocks to customize them.

The combination of features and blocks offers a significant amount of design flexibility. However, we found that laying out content within Web.com’s site editor can be a challenge. The platform divides each page section into columns, and it’s relatively easy to throw off the layout of a whole section when you add, remove, or move features. The column-based design either needs to be more consistent or eliminated altogether to make this experience more seamless.
