When it comes to building a website, there are only a handful of website builders that lets you build a website that is fast and easy. In this article, I will walk you through the hPage free website builder.
Pricing
Many people who opt for website builders when it comes to creating a website have chosen to do so because they are looking for a cheaper alternative compared to hiring site designers and web developers. In general, website builders are much more affordable but lets see how hPage compares to the prices of other website builders in the market.
When it comes to website creation at hPage, there are two choices: You can opt for their free website or purchase a paid website package which is payable monthly.
Free website: The free website package is absolutely free. There are no hidden costs even after signing up. The only limitation is that will be limited to the basic website features. That means you will have limited access to site designs, site addons, extra features, limited storage space, and you will not get a top-tier domain URL (which is usually a .com ending).
Paid package: 11.50 euros/month or about 12 USD/month.
The paid package gives you the complete deal. You get access to everything you need when it comes to creating a website and that includes a larger storage space as well as premium and exclusive website features. Not to mention very prompt customer support.
If you are looking for a simple website, then the free website package is a sweet deal. Meanwhile, the paid website package is still affordable compared to most site builders. Considering that you gain access to everything with no additional in-site costs, you really get the value for your money.
Website designs
hPage offers over 300 website designs which you can choose from. In case you are not satisfied with that you initially chose, you are always free to choose another from their site design repository.
There are different categories of website designs. Ranging from general designs, sports, business, animals and nature, and spare time and society. You can also easily search the designs according to their features.
The only downside I found regarding website designs that they currently have is that most of the designs seem to be outdated. Where most site designs nowadays tend to have the menu bar on top aligning horizontally, many of the hPage website designs have their menu bar on the left side of the website aligned vertically. I have seen many sites like that prior to 2010 so in that case, let’s hope they change their design catalog soon!
Site dashboard
The site dashboard is the website creator itself and it is where you can easily access and use the tools for creating your website.
When it comes to hPage.com’s site building dashboard, it seems fairly easy to use and navigate. On the left side panel, you will see the complete menu. You have several options on what to do with your website. Once you click it, a drop-down submenu will appear.
On the menu, you can immediately find option such as upgrading your website package, choosing and customizing website designs, organizing your website’s menu, organizing uploaded files, adding and editing web pages, incorporating site features, and so much more.
Webpage editor
hPage’s webpage editor is a tool on the site dashboard where you can create and edit your website content. The website editor is made to mimic a Word document where you can easily add text, images, links, videos, and other files easily. You can also add site features offered by hPage on the editor in a few seconds so you do not have to . No need to worry about HTML at all!
The verdict
Overall, if you are a tech newbie or a beginner in website making, the hPage.com website builder is a good place to start. Whether you are looking for a short term or long term solution, this website builder is perfect since it has a free plan and a paid plan.
The free plan is flexible and it is possible to upgrade to premium features at any time. Moreover, the paid plan allows more options for a full professional website. The navigation of the hPage dashboard is quite simple and is very easy to understand as well. You will have no trouble using the features and making your website in no time!
