Open-Source Website Builders

Website builders let you create websites through a visual interface with prebuilt building blocks.

They are aimed at teams and individuals without deep development skills who want to publish landing pages or company websites quickly.

Content management systems put more emphasis on content structures and editorial processes than on visual page design. For websites that sell online, e-commerce platforms come into play. Web analytics platforms let you analyze how people use the website.
