Website builders, no-code tools and hosting
A site without code takes a weekend to build. Leaving is the hard part. Most builders hand back your content in a shape you cannot reassemble elsewhere: the design stays in their format, and forms or member areas usually do not come out at all. Finding this out during a price change is the expensive way to learn it.
So each review asks three things: what the export file actually contains, who holds the domain and the data, and whether the site can move without a rebuild. Alongside that, the pricing that shifts once you connect a custom domain, add a store, or invite a second editor. For an app with real business logic, no-code is often a dead end.

Frequently asked
?Which website builder is best for a small business?
It depends on what the site has to do. A brochure site needs a simple builder; a store or member area is a different category of tool. Choose for the most complex feature you expect within a year, not for the homepage.
?Can I move my site off a no-code platform later?
Partly, in most cases. Text and images almost always export; the finished layout and interactive parts rarely do. Run the export once before you pay for an annual plan and look at what the file really contains.
?How much does a no-code website cost per year?
The headline plan is only part of it. Add the domain, the tier required for a custom domain and forms, and any commerce features. We list current pricing in each review, including what the plan genuinely includes.
