Pros and cons

Pros

  • No transaction fee, the lowest in the 1 rank of 78 on that measure
  • Entry price of $10.80 sits below the €7.89 median for website builders
  • A free plan exists, so testing and a small store can start at no cost
  • One builder covers site, store and landing, so a site and a shop do not need separate tools

Cons

  • The paid entry point starts at $10.80, so a free plan cannot carry a full store indefinitely
  • Support runs on chat, email and help centre, with no phone line listed for urgent store issues
  • Pricing is listed for a free plan only, so the paid tiers are compared at $10.80 rather than per feature

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free plan for building a site or store?+

Yes. A free plan is offered, and the free plan is the listed way to start rather than a timed trial. Paid entry begins at $10.80, so a free plan covers a site or a small store at no cost before you move up.

What does a paid plan cost?+

Paid plans start at $10.80. The e-commerce plan is listed at $10.80, which is the figure to compare if the store matters more than the site. The entry price sits under the €7.89 median for website builders.

Is there a transaction fee on sales?+

The transaction fee is 0%, so the platform takes no cut of a sale. That places it at rank 1 of 78 on that measure, and payment processing costs still sit outside the builder.

What kinds of sites can be built?+

The builder covers site, store and landing. Sites and stores are the main uses, while landing pages are a smaller use across the brands ranked. Both a shop and a company site can run in the same place.

How is it supported?+

Support runs on chat, email and help centre. A help centre carries the most detail, with email and chat available for questions. It is aimed at beginners and small business, so the documentation carries the weight for first-time users.

Who is this builder aimed at?+

The stated audience is beginners and small business. Most website builders in the ranking share the small-business focus, but the beginner share is high here too, which suits anyone publishing their first site or store without a developer.

What about renewal pricing?+

The listed pricing is built around the free plan, with the paid entry point at $10.80. Across builders on this comparison, renewal prices sit near a €5.99 median, so expect the paid tier to be the figure that matters after the start.

Which company runs it?+

The provider is SITE123 LTD, named in the terms. The plan structure lists a free plan as the model, which is why entry pricing and the free plan carry the comparison here.
