Whenever I travel, I’m still amazed to find businesses listed in Google who do not have a website. The owners rely on a Google local listing, a Yelp listing, or a Facebook Page for their Internet presence. Many small business owners still believe that managing a website is difficult and too much to learn and manage.

But really, it’s never been easier to set up a professional-looking business website or blog.

Most all hosting companies offer some type of website builder included in their hosting plans and there are simple CMS interfaces owners can use like WordPress. There are also companies like Squarespace, Weebly, and Wix dedicated to delivering what a business owner needs to easily set up a website for a monthly fee.

If you are looking where to go to set up a business website, here’s some of what’s available.

A website builder is a medium or interface that allows users to build websites, e-commerce websites and blogs without having to do back-end coding. There are two types of website builders: offline and online. Offline means you build the website on a computer through software and online means you build your website online through proprietary software provided by an online company, usually in the form of templates. Here are five of the better online website builders:
