Best website builder for small business
By Cathy Riddell · Prices checked 25 Oct 2026 · Last updated 25 Oct 2026
How this page was made: I compared each vendor’s official pricing and feature pages on 25 Oct 2026. Hands-on test notes are added only after I’ve used the product on a real account; until then they’re marked as pending. My review method.
What’s on the shortlist?
| Tool | Best for | Price (official page) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wix | All-in-one builder with many templates | Check current pricing on the official Wix pricing page | Visit Wix |
| Squarespace | Design-led sites and small shops | Check current pricing on the official Squarespace pricing page | Visit Squarespace |
| Hostinger | Lowest cost, AI builder plus hosting | Premium US$2.49/mo on a 48-month term, renews at US$10.99/mo (official page, checked 25 Oct 2026) | Visit Hostinger |
| SiteGround | Builder plus managed WordPress hosting | StartUp US$2.99/mo for the first 12 months, renews at US$17.99/mo (official page, checked 25 Oct 2026) | Visit SiteGround |
Builder or hosting plus WordPress?
An all-in-one builder (Wix, Squarespace) handles hosting, security and updates for you. A host (Hostinger, SiteGround) is usually cheaper and lets you run WordPress, but you take on more of the upkeep. Both hosts here include a builder.
What should I check?
- Renewal price, not just the intro offer.
- Transaction fees if you sell online.
- Whether a custom domain and email are included.
- How easy it is to move your site later.
